review 1: I can't say it enough but I LOVE this authors books and this one does not disappoint! It holds it's own.Taken back time, to the early 1800's, when women weren't allowed to wear anything but dresses and expected to be nothing but proper. While none of the original characters are even so much as mentioned in this book it's focused on Hunter Wild's ancestor, Rosalind Wild. She's a spirted young women just coming of age and at a time when women are just being allowed to take the Helios-Ra oath, she is bound and determined to prove her salt. However, when she over hears a vampire and a "turn coat" League member planning to kill the leader of the Helios-Ra she takes matters into her own hands. But when Dante Cowan returns from his grand tour nothing is what it seems and is the t... moreraitor and bad guy who she thinks it is? This book is fabulous with the back ground it provides and the way it is beautifully written. As a lover of the series I feel this book could have been a complete novel and held it's own. I was upset when it ended because it was so good I wanted more and more. I finished it in a day and have re-read it and still find it worthy.
review 2: Die Geschichte war wirklich enttäuschend...nett zu lesen und auch kurzweilig unterhaltsam, aber im Gegensatz zu den anderen Novellen ziemlich platt und oberflächlich.Zudem ist es wie eine Geschichte geschrieben. Bis auf das "Dear Evangeline" und "Yours Rosalind" unterscheidet sich der Stil kein Stück von einer normalen Geschichte...warum es dann Briefe nennen, wenn sogar wörtliche Rede drin vorkommt? -.- less
