This review is from: Six Feet Under (Paperback)
She KNEW it was a bad idea. Correction: a VERY bad idea. Meeting an unknown informant in an isolated graveyard at midnight wasn't the brightest thing Charlene `Charlee' Madison had ever done, and now it looked as though it might be the last thing she ever did.
Devin has waited centuries to find his soul mate, his light, but he never expected to find her six feet under, buried alive and near death itself. Her scent is unmistakable, though, and when he encounters her indomitable spirit, he knows he has more than met his match.
But an ancient evil has also set its sights on Charlee, and even a powerful vampire such as Devin has his hands full keeping her safe, especially when the obstinate private detective seems to rush headfirst into trouble every chance she gets...
Six Feet Under was the first story I ever read by Mackenzie McKade, and it was just as pleasurable reading it a second time as it was the first. In fact, the second read allowed me to catch several details that I missed during the first read of this multi-layered story.
No one could argue that McKade definitely has a knack for writing a sexy vampire - or in this case, a whole bunch of sexy vampires! Yes, you can take that as a very strong hint that Six Feet Under includes a very hot ménage scene guaranteed to please those of us who enjoy a little ménage fantasy in our literature!
As usual for this author, the writing is flawless, the plot is rich, and the characters multi-dimensional. The dialogue flows naturally, keeping the characters believable and McKade captures the readers' imagination with her descriptive prose and an intricate plot that delivers an intriguing twist.
This is a must read for all fans of Mackenzie McKade's work, and also for fans of erotic vampire stories!

Repeatedly Annoying Heroine, July 16 2008
By Willow Brook - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Six Feet Under (Paperback)
After enjoying Fallon's Revenge, I was very disappointed in Six Feet Under. My biggest complaint is Charlee is the classic Too Stupid to Live heroine. Despite repeated attempts on her life and those she cares about, despite an insane killer vampire becoming fixated on her, despite her lover cautioning and warning and begging her to stay where she is safe, she just keeps sashaying out on her own, often after dark. Note to Stoopid: Just because you are ticked off at your overprotective brothers and vampire lover, you still shouldn't storm out of the house AT NIGHT in a huff when people are waiting to kill you. Though I did start to sympathize with the bad guys on that score.
In the end, TSTL is a cheap and easy way to move the plot forward. How do I get the characters into the next exciting action scene? Everyone is safe and cozy inside right now. I know! TSTL Heroine will leave safety AGAIN and be attacked AGAIN and be rescued AGAIN and be told AGAIN to stay where she is safe. Rest; reflect; repeat several times.
In Fallon's Revenge, the heroine is also frequently putting herself in danger but in that book, she has an extremely compelling reason for her behavior. And Fallon's vampire lover is able to keep up with her and even cut her off at the pass now and then. Charlee is just willful and yes, stupid, while Devin ineffectually attempts to reason with and/or control her. Maybe incredible stupidity is an evasive technique or even a weapon that can be used against vampires. I never thought of that before. I hope I never need to think of it again.

erotic, funny A must read!, Mar 15 2007

This review is from: Six Feet Under (Paperback)
A spunky female lead, a Alpha hunky male and lets not forget each have two brothers. Thats alot of men. Charlene is a private detective who takes on a murder case to solve. She gets rescued by none other than her mate Devin. Charlene has two pesky, hunky older brothers. Devin spends the entire book trying to convert Charlene over to vampire. You will have to read it to find out if she does.
The murder plot made this book a page turner. The sex scenes were steamy but the best being the foursome with Devin and his brothers. The scenes were explicit, graphic and had variety (:)
After I finished this book in three hours, I immediatly went online to see if this author has started writing a sequel with the other brothers in it. I love this family and would like to see more. I will definitly buy whatever this author continues to pen.
