Fun Read!, Oct 4 2011
By Cynthia E - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Much Ado About Vampires: A Dark Ones Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I was first introduced to Katie MacAlister and her Dark Ones series through a short story from the book My Zombie Valentine. I was impressed with her writing then, and after reading Much Ado About Vampires (I got an advance copy from the publisher), I am hooked on the Dark Ones series!Much Ado About Vampires is the ninth book in the Dark Ones series. The story is centered around Alec and Cora (Corazon). Alec is a "Dark One" (vampire) who has been banished to the Akasha for killing the woman that accidentally killed his Beloved (mate). Cora finds herself and her friend, Diamond, in a very strange situation (a matter of wrong place at the wrong time) and gets banished to the Akasha, where she meets Alec. Once Cora gets a good look at Alec, she realizes she's seen him before, and she is definitely not happy about it...at first.
There is a lot of light humor in this book, and funny circumstances. I found myself chuckling many times throughout the book (sometimes aloud).
If there is anything about the book that I found a bit annoying, it would be Cora's over-use of the phrase "Jesus wept". If it had only been used a couple of times, I probably wouldn't have even thought twice about it. However, I would say that would be my only complaint because I really enjoyed the book. The story wasn't hindered by reading the ninth book first, and I will be purchasing the rest of the series.

This review is from: Much Ado About Vampires: A Dark Ones Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, it's official - I'm officially tired of where KM's books are going.I loved KM when I first read her books: starting with Aisling's first 2 dragon books, followed by Men in Kilts and The Corset Diaries. I loved the first 3 Beloved books, Noble Intentions and The Trouble with Harry. I enjoyed most of the rest of her contemporary books as well.
In "Much Ado" the writing is pretty good - as always with KM. I never seem to have many hangups with her as I do with some other writers. There's still a lot of humor, sort of. I did like that there is an interchange of voices between heroine and hero in this book (they are often completely in 1st person), and I am still interested in Dark Ones and Beloveds. I was also glad that Ulfur was having his moment.
But I am tired of the same heroine and hero in each book - they are really not different at all. I liked them at one time, but after 6-7 times of the same thing...
I am also officially bored with the Princes of Abaddon story lines that have dominated the last few books, in most of the series from KM. Part of this is personal preference - I don't like demonlord storylines, but part is because they have ALL been in that direction. There's got to be something else.
I'm bored! I don't like it! I'm struggling with finishing this book and keep finding myself back to another book, by another author that I haven't read in years and is nothing like KM... that's usually a bad sign for me.
When I first started reading KM, I was sure that I would buy ALL of her books - I stopped being in such a hurry after "Vamps get the Blues" - but didn't stop. I am glad that I got this one from the Library! I liked Jaz's story much better.

A Must Read, Oct 4 2011
By Karen J. Brown "chickermunker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Much Ado About Vampires: A Dark Ones Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
As a dedicated fan of Katie MacAlister, I've read all of her books and I've got to say this is one of her best.The plot picks up where Zen and the Art of Vampires left off: Having melodramatically confessed his sins, Alec is now alone and belovedless. There are several new characters complete with quirks and character flaws and, as a bonus, several characters from previous books and series' actively participate in the effort to "help" Alec find his "happily" ever after.
Somehow Katie manages to appeal to new readers without boring the rest of us with extensive summaries of past books.
Listmania!
