Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Although the vampires in this work are harmless shadows of Anne Rice's creations, Herter ( Obsession ) spots the quirky potential of a contemporary vampire tale and serves it up with a flourish. Playwright David de Morrissey remains devoted to his mortal love Veronica Ames, though he is determined to stay away from her while she decides whether or not to become immortal like him. He is occupied with putting the final touches on a musical, a vampire Scarlet Pimpernel. At a fund-raising auction David meets Alexandra Peters, an attractive and talented violinist and violin maker. Though Alexandra claims she just wants a friendly affair, an emotional storm begins to brew inside her: she just might be the champion bloodsucker in this relationship, figuratively speaking. Then there's Darienne Victoire, David's friend and occasional lover for four centuries. Normally an independent woman who matches her coffin to the decor and climbs walls with glee (handy for unannounced visits), she find her attention riveted on Matthew McDowall, the star of David's play, who firmly resists her advances.

Vampire Romance Worth Reading, Dec 20 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Possession (Paperback)
Hi, Ok I think you could read this book on it's own but you should really go get the first in the series - Obsession. If you've already read it I know why you are here! I'm not going to give away anything about the plot but all the characters you love from Obsession are here in this book too - Veronica and David, and Darienne. I don't want to spoil ANY of the surprise. I really didn't know where this book was going when I started it and I was sure surprised! You'll like it and I'm sure I'll be competiting with you to find the rest of Lori's out of print books lol...

Great reading...for Phantom fans!, Nov 21 2006
By Julie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Possession (Paperback)
This is the second in a trilogy, and it's better than the first, "Obsession." However, is it just me, or does Herter's Matthew MacDowell and "The Scarlet Shadow" bear a striking resemblance to Michael Crawford and "The Phantom of the Opera?" I think Herter is a fan!
Listmania!
