stunning sequel!, Jun 21 2002
Ce commentaire est de: Crimson Night (Paperback)
Trisha Baker once again had me entralled with her story of reluctant vampire, Meghann O'neill and her battles with her master simon Baldevar.Baker is a skillful writer because she could had taken the easy route and just have this novel like it's predecessor with endless scenes of Simon chasing and terrorizing Meghann but no Baker does something I thought could never happen she makes Simon likable! Yes you read it right those of you who read the first book like myself was shocked at the depths of evil and depravity that Simon was capable of and his obessive and terrifying love of Meghann. Baker allows us to see Simon's history on how he became a vampire and why he did the horrible things that he done.When Meghann becomes pregnant
Simon becomes more human in his love and concern toward Meghann and their unborn child. He even saves her life against his fanatical enemies!This novel gives us a Simon's history which takes place in Elizabethan England and it shows how he and Alcuin became deadly enemies.Baker's novel has gruesome scenes of battle between vampires and bloodletting. Simon is still a monster but in Baker's capable hands he becomes sympathetic...

A Great Sequel, May 12 2003

"Crimson Night" is a great sequel to the incredible book "Crimson Kiss" by Trisha Baker. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one, if not a little bit more. This book gives you more background information about Simon Baldevar, the ruthless yet charming lead character. I was also very touched by the way he treated the love of his life, Meghann O'Neill, with so much love and adoration while she was pregnant.
Although Simon is a killer, fiend, and tormentor, you can't help but feel sorry for him as he reveals his past to Meghann. The stories about how his father and incompetent brother wanted to control and force him into a life which would have driven him mad, made my heart go out to him.
Not only did he show a great deal of love for Meghann, but he also revealed a softer side when entrusted in the help of Lee Windslow, a mortal doctor, and Charles Tarleton, Meghann's close vampire friend. Given the fact that Simon and Charles were enemies, it was nice to see that he was accepting of Charles and Lee because they made Meghann happy. I also loved the way he treated his daughter with so much love and tenderness that it was hard to believe that this was the same man.
I don't want to give too much away, but if you want to read an incredible book, read "Crimson Kiss" first, then read "Crimson Night"! You will definitely not be disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!
