Review

“A rare gem…fascinating and unique!”—New York Times bestseller Christine Feehan

“An outstanding debut novel that takes some risks and succeeds.”—The Romance Reader on Dangeld

Book Description

It began in Sienna, with an illicit kiss stolen under a hot Mediterranean sun.

It made the blood sing in her veins, burn in her body in ways—in places—that she had never felt before. It was a pulsing need to be someone else; to be something else¼ something she didn't yet understand.

It was embodied by Davinoff. The dark lord was the epitome of beauty, of strength. He was feared by the ton, and even by fleeing to Bath, Sarah could not escape him. His eyes were ageless, held a sadness she could hardly fathom. They pierced her, struck so deep that she felt penetrated to her very core. What they offered was frightening¼and tantalizing. Was it evil that lurked within this foreigner's unnatural kiss, or was the communion he offered something else entirely? All Sarah knew was that the sacrament of his love would either be the death of her body or the salvation of her soul. And she could no more deny it than she could herself.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T READ THIS BOOK!, July 8 2004

By

Mouser "The Chinchilla Guerilla" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sacrament (Mass Market Paperback)

To sum up this novel: two hours of my life I can NEVER get back.

First off, there's no romance. I swear NO ROMANCE in it. Just a heroine and her creepy neighbor. She wants to dig up roman ruins on his land. He wants nothing to do with her.

Her best friend is manipulative. She wants the vamp and when he refuses her she addicts him to drugs (can that even happen to the undead?)

Our heroine nurses him back to health, doormat that she is. And in flashbacks she reveals once using drugs and losing her virginity to an underage boy in a threesome.

I mean, what the h**l?

I couldn't finish it and I've read all 1,000+ pages of Anna Karenina when I didn't want to, so you can see how usually I'll finish any book.

But this one was so bad I even tried to return it for my money back. The bookstore wouldn't take it so I tried to get something from the publisher, even a partial refund.

I sold it at a garage sale last year and guess what? Two days later it got returned. I refunded the fifty cents and threw it out.

This book could be the worst ever published.

Stick to more modern vamp romances or more established authors like Christine Feehan, you'll be sooooo happy if you take my advice. trust me.

Frankly, I hated this book. It's bad when you start skimming a book just to get through it to find out how it ends (before moving to another book). Save your time and read something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Vampire Romance, May 6 2004

K. J. Blake "Super Reader" (Phoenix,AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sacrament (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked this very gothic romance- the hero and heroine are appealing. Set in regency Bath , England we meet Sara and Julien. He is a dark lord and she a not too well off gentlewoman with a dark passionate side she keeps in check. He releases her inner beast while she gentles his own.

Has many of the elements of good gothic fiction- steamy romance, a horrid villainess, extravagant surroundings and a fresh and imaginative take on the vampire and how they come to be and live.

Read the follow up by Squires set in modern times with more of Sarah and Julien and the first vampire he made....Magda and her tormented ture at redemption. This novella is in the anthology MY ONE AND ONLY which also contains tales by Christine Feehan and Susan Grant.

Have you ever read a book that you felt started off somewhat decently but ended up having so many unlikable characters that you just wanted to throw it across the room? Read more

If you must read anything with a vampire in it, then go ahead. If you like Harlequin Romances, ok. If your only criteria is that the author be able to construct a reasonable... Read more
