This book isn't for the weak of heart nor for the normal "i want romance with a happy ending" reader.  It does have a beginning...not quite an ending at the end.  And it has redemption for a very evil man who changes during the novel.  (you'd have to read dagger star to understand how evil he was).  And it has a priestess who is a healer and a warrior and uses magic for both.  Such interesting characters ... so complexed.  Than somehow Elizabeth wove in zombies (except she calls them odiums) and a night of the living dead scenerio.  They need to feed on human flesh...absolutely vile creatures being created by another very vile and evil baroness.  And they are scaring...however the love is so pure between our heroine - Evelyn and our villian turn hero - Orrin Blackheart that it overcomes great evil and some lesser things.  This is one fascinating book...so much more that I'm going to re-read Dagger Star to pick up on what I missed through it.  Oh and for the fans of the Warprize series (guess that's me) ... it takes place int he same world...and you start to seeing the time that the two civlizations or maybe it's three will meet up.  So for those willing to take a bit of a journey, be scared in parts and watch true love overcome evil...pick up this book.  And than after reading it...post your thoughts...you can always tell me that I'm crazy and that wasn't a romance book because it was missing some of the formula.

Ah I would have to read the first book first, it would only make sense to do so.  Logged

Now I'm reading a book that is a throw-back to the bodice ripper days.  I'll post my thoughts on it as soon as I start.  The book begins with dad selling daughter to a well rounded villian.  Daughter to save herself from rape...bops the guy with a candlestick over the head and runs off.  She goes to sea, ship gets attacked by pirates but they are not really pirates - they are American patriots launching a private war agaist Britian (pre-revolution American colony time.)  Now our heroine is trying to save her virtue from the very virile and good looking pirate patriot captain.  And of course captain believes in a little coercion to get his way...you get the gest...wonderful sexual chemistry.  I'll post more about under the topic Seducer by Kayla Gray...when I'm done with it.  It's a fun read although not as intense as White Star.
