Product Description

Review

"Mercedes Lackey's work is as sharp--and as scary--as the suddenly revealed fang of a vampire. She'll keep you up long past your bedtime."--Stephen King

"Diana Tregarde is an intelligent and resourceful entrant in the [dark fantasy] field--with a most charming and unusual associate."--C. J. Cherryh on Children of the Night

"A very enjoyable thriller with a sense of humor."--Locus on Children of the Night

"[The heroine has] a wry, practical sense of humor. Further pluses include an almost complete lack of sexual stereotyping or politics. Anyone who likes their supernatural yarns laced with intelligence will find this novel more than satisfying."--Dragon magazine on Burning Water

"The characters, love triangles, and action will hook the reader immediately. The plot weaves a magic spell of its own. This is a hard one to put down, and readers will clamor for the rest of the series."--Booklist on Jinx High


" It''s a delight to know that a writer whose work I''ve loved all along has written something so fresh and original."
(Marion Zimmer Bradley )

"Diana Tregarde is an intelligent and resourceful entrant in the [dark fantasy] field--with a most charming and unusual associate."
(C. J. Cherryh )

"A very enjoyable thriller with a sense of humor."
(Locus )

5.0 out of 5 stars An oldie but a goodie, Sep 22 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of the Night: A Diana Tregarde Investigation (Mass Market Paperback)
If reading this book for the first time please remember it was written over 14 years ago. My copy of this book is from August 1990 and it says first printing. That was before Buffy, before Anita. In fact some of the references and plot about Diana are echoed (if not stolen) by those contemporary characters. So regardless of the lack of depth of the characters that some may feel, this book should be read by all fans to get a feeling of the beginning of a genre that is so popular today, and I for one am very sad there will be no other books to follow up this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the oddest books I've ever read, April 1 2004
By "anjylle" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: See *** 474556 *** (Mass Market Paperback)
That may be a compliment. I'm not certain. It doesn't have an extremely complex plotline. It doesn't make your brain work too hard -- if at all. It's even a bit cliched (don't tell me the 'vampire rocker' theme hasn't been used before), and the romatic part of it seems just the slightest bit silly.

In short, it's pure entertainment, and I've read it cover-to-cover at least ten times (I've lost count).

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine tale of redemption, Oct 15 2003
By David Hood (Wesley Chapel, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Children of the Night: A Diana Tregarde Investigation (Mass Market Paperback)
This second Diana Tregarde book, which takes place before the first, Burning Water, is superior in every aspect. Along with the travails and dangers Diana has to face we learn about her past and we get to see a wonderful tale of redemption as well.

Based on a short story that appeared in the Werehunter collection Diana must contend with a rock band transformed into psi-vampires and a soul-destroyer. To complicate matters, Davey, one of the band is her ex-boyfriend who hurt her badly. A "normal" vampire also gets in the mix as her love-interest.

The most interesting parts of the book are the dual tales of redemption. Diana coming to terms with her past and conquering her fear and Davey's fight against what he has been turned into.

Pacing and tension are also improved over Burning Water, in this book you actually believe harm can and will come to Diana and people involved with her. Like Burning Water, it is also a fast read.

I will again state it is a shame that Lackey stopped writing Diana Tregarde books. Diana is a nice character in a nicely realized urban fantasy world.

4.0 out of 5 stars good vampire read
A good vampire read. I think that I like Tanya Huff or Laurell Hamilton better but this one was enjoyable. A bit slow at the beginning. Lackey's Burning Water was better.

Reading the other reviews, I will ostensibly agree that anyone coming to this book after reading Hamilton or Huff will probably be dissappointed. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but light reading.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and the other Diane Tregarde books. It is a shame the Ms. Lackey had to suspend writing about this character because of obsessive fan reactions.
