So the happy ending feels more happy for now.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-52543368344394056032009-04-04T11:04:00.000+02:002009-04-04T11:04:00.000+02:00Tracy - It's my least favourite so far.

And I too have a problem with ghosts as characters, especially when these very physical men fall in love with them. It all seems so pointless to me.<BR/><BR/>But at least Neomi became physical at the end, which was better than the Ghost of Jane ending in J.R.Ward's brotherhood series.DonnaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084481047963331136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-62052222011033806322009-02-19T16:30:00.000+01:002009-02-19T16:30:00.000+01:00Jenre - I don't think you need to have read the pr...Jenre - I don't think you need to have read the previous books because this story is so focused on Neomi and Conrad it's easy to follow.<BR/><BR/>All you really need to know is that Conrad was turned into a vampire by his brother's against his will. There are two sorts of vampires - forbearers (Conrad's brothers are this type, they don't kill humans) and the other vampires which do. Vampires aren't really well liked by the other supernaturals.<BR/><BR/>It's a good book to see if you like the world because even though Neomi is a supernatural she's been isolated from the rest of the Lore (supernatural beings) so as a reader you learn a lot of the stuff that's happening through her. Plus most of the terms are explained in the glossary at the beginning.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-11532680945163963122009-02-19T16:27:00.000+01:002009-02-19T16:27:00.000+01:00Katie and Aymless - Lol - how could I have forgott...Katie and Aymless - Lol - how could I have forgotten to mention the shower scene?<BR/><BR/>Carolyn Jean - usually I find if I hit a patch of writing where I'm struggling to keep going that the author is writing in present tense. Sometimes this happens if the whole book is written that way. I don't always pick up on it straight away - this is present tense - but I'm aware that for some reason I'm finding it harder to read. Lol - must be the way my brain is wired.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-74074759575988582092009-02-19T14:56:00.000+01:002009-02-19T14:56:00.000+01:00Hmmm.

You've convinced me to give this a go!<BR/><BR/>One thing though: Do I need to have read all the previous books in the series before I read this one? Normally I break out in hives at the thought of starting a series part way, but if I can get away without reading all the previous books, I might make an exception in this case.Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-58343479623509807632009-02-19T04:09:00.000+01:002009-02-19T04:09:00.000+01:00Hey I just finished this one too (read book 3 for ...Hey I just finished this one too (read book 3 for my TBR challenge).<BR/><BR/>The shower scene was great!Shaymless Aymlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846352466332137169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-32679562546259719862009-02-19T02:28:00.000+01:002009-02-19T02:28:00.000+01:00Oh, interesting review, and I didn't even notice t...Oh, interesting review, and I didn't even notice the present tense!
