A Guilty Pleasure,
By "bloodymary22" (Horror-Web.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bloodlover (Paperback)
Kilpatrick's tale may have been told countless times, but with a new beat and some new vocals, she rocked my world. What started out as detachment and boredom quickly took off to wrap me up once more in that bloody grasp we all fear and secretly hunger for. Which reminds me, Sorry Kiddies, this material is bubble wrapped PG17. There is no requirement to read the three preceding books in her vampire series to understand this one; for that I whispered a prayer of thanks. With a plot full of passion and violence, the story weaves the old and the new seductively. The pace in the book crawls along until chapter seven, then suddenly takes off. The book needed more speed in those first few chapters, I started this book three times and put it away twice until finally surrendering. The atmosphere comes across as a drug-induced haze filled with atonement and a dramatic ecstasy. The style of writing was overly elaborate, weighing you down with too many descriptions and removable history. On the other hand, Kilpatrick has a flare for the theatrics, adding an elevated tone to the story; I loved it. The characters were the highlight of the book with a cast that resonates. Each with their own problems, regrets and personality, they lure you into their journey. Even though this book was a fun read for a guilty pleasure, I wouldn't go out of my way to aquire the previous volumes.

Gripping Vampire tale of Love, Lust and Revenge,
By Baskerville Books - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bloodlover (Paperback)
These vampires really sizzle!Award winning author Nancy Kilpatrick's fourth novel in the vampire series Power of the Blood packs a wicked punch. Sex, violence and power tear the protagonists apart as they struggle for survival in a world where even the undead can die. The story twists and turns and doesn't let go. Lots of passion here! If you like your vampires sexy and theatrical, you'll love this book! 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Intense!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bloodlover (Paperback)
I loved this book, though sometimes there was a lot of history to get through. Still, it was important to understand the vampire character, so I read it all. This book was different, not like all the other vampire stuff out there. And you don't need to have read the rest of the Power of the Blood books. I didn't and still it worked great. |
