Product Description

Review

"Amanda Ashley is a masterful storyteller. This novel is so rich in sensuality and imagery that readers will be entranced by this haunting tale of a vampire who finds love too late and the woman who may save him from the darkness. This is one keeper to put alongside Maggie Shayne and Linda Lael Miller." --Romantic Times

Book Description

The fourth vampire romance by bestselling author Madeline Baker writing as Amanda Ashley! Lost in darkness, Grigori found new sustenance in the light of Marisa's love, and new purpose in his life. Only he could protect her from the evil that stalked the night. Now, hungering for her bittersweet caress, he vowed to show her that not all of the undead were monsters, and that somewhere between the black and white of damnation and desire lay infinite shades of gray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shades of Gray - EXCELLENT!, July 15 2004

This is my first vampire book and I absolutely LOVED it. A modern day vampire story, I never think that anyone can write this kind of story.Ashley is wonderful in creating characters that are likeable and believeable. Especially, the two main characters (Marisa and Grigori). The love between them are so romatic and very beatiful. After a few hours of reading this book, it transport era and makes you imagine that you are the heroine and you are actually living this story.I'd enjoyed this book immensely--it included vamps, time travel, Italian moonlight...and a villain you'd wish to stake yourself, if possible.
AMANDA ASHLEY really CAPTURED MY HEART

5.0 out of 5 stars Shades of Enjoyment, April 18 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Shades of Gray (Mass Market Paperback)

This contemporary vamp book opens with a Halloween visit to a carnival bizarre. Imagine stepping up creaky wooden viewing block to view the coffin at your midsection better. Your hand is inexhorably drawn to touch the slack being lying staked...and....initially, nothing.
However, Marissa's ordinary life is skewed as a different vamp enters her life.
I'd enjoyed this book immensely--it included vamps, time travel, Italian moonlight...and a villain you'd wish to stake yourself, if possible.

The sequel, "After Sundown" is also enjoyable for different reason. Fast, easy reads, though I'd found the conclusion of the latter rather abrupt.
I highly recommend her earlier bks "Dark Embrace" and "Sunlight, Moonlight".

I collect vampire/lycanthorpe books and have quite a collection. Because of this, I have quite a few Amanda Ashley novels. I consider all of her novels very light reads. The characters usually do not have enough depth for me to give her books 4 or 5 stars, but if you re looking for a good quick vampire romance, that is a quick read, then I would recommend. Marisa attends a carnival one night and sees an attraction to meet a real vampire. She meets Alexi who is surrounded by chains. On her way out she cuts herself and bleeds. Alexi smells the blood and gets the strength to break free. He decides that he must have Marisa. Grigori is a vampire who is hunting Alexi. While hunting Alexi he meets Marisa and there is an instant attraction. Also hunting Alexi is a vampire hunter, Edward. He also meets Marisa and is attracted to her. Soon it will take both Edward and Grigori to keep Marisa alive. This was a decent story. This is actually one of the few Amanda Ashley books that I would give 4 stars to. I would recommend. (If you enjoyed this story and are looking for a continuation of the characters, pick up Amanda Ashley's After Sundown).

This was the first Amanda Ashley book I had read. Though cringed a little at the stereotypical romance cover, I decided to give it a try. Read more

I would rate this a Five Plus, if I could. I hated to put it down for the night. Good story, lots of romance. Grigori could kill me with those kisses of his. LOL. Read more
