 Sequel to Shades of Grey June 12, 2008
I would recommend that Shades of Grey be read first as it would make it easier to follow this story knowing the characters from the first. However, it still was a great story by itself. Edward had been a vampire hunter up until Grigori changed him to save his life. I could understand Edwards dilemma and how he felt about being changed into the very thing he detested. It was not easy for him to accept and I could understand how he felt. He always felt vampires were something to be destroyed and abhorred and now he found himself one of them. The love story between Edward and Kelly was beautiful and the story entertaining.
 Amateur-ish writing skill April 30, 2008
This is not well written. The characters are fairly 2dimensional, and not much happens for a large part of the book. The plot is not very ambitious, there are wierd lapses in the storytelling (another vampire mentioned halfway through who shows up at a wedding for no reason, as she doesn't know any of the characters and is shortly dispatched) Also, not a new or interesting take on vampire culture. I would pass on this one. Lack of storytelling skills and a basic and uninteresting plot do not a good book make.
 BORING! January 26, 2008
No action, characters are not believable, nad just plan boring. I tried for days to read this book and finally gave up. Too bored to even finish it.

I'm not going to rehash the story's plot b/c it's been done. Admittedly, I started reading this book without knowing it had a prequel. The back cover was misleading; I thought it was supposed to be about Ed Ramsey and the woman he loved, Kelly. Unfortunately, their love paled in comparison to Grigori and Marisa's relationship. Kelly seemed like a secondary character throughout the novel while Marisa, Gregori and Ramsey were the front-runners.
I enjoyed reading about Ramsey and his trouble adjusting to becoming a new vampire. I also enjoyed all of the parts with Gregori and Marisa. Everything involving Khira (the evil vampire) or the relationship between Ramsey and Kelly fell flat.
Overall, it was a simple vampire romance that didn't require much thought. Unfortunately, when you put this book down you'll easily forget it.
Great Vampire Romance book January 19, 2006

Edward Ramsey was a vampire hunter until while fighting a powerful vampire with another vampire (Grigori) he is almost killed and is turned into a vampire. At first he hates what he has become, until he meets Kelly. He wants to love her but does not think it is fair. He once loved Grigori's wife Marissa, who is a mortal. Then they all have to come together to fight an evil vampire. I enjoyed this book and learned it has a prequel "Shades of Grey" which is about Grigori and his wife. Five stars great romance and story!
