Partnership in Blood Spin-Off
review 1: Perilous partnership is significantly better than this author's prior works. It is the same cast of characters from her first three books in the blood partnership series; however, this book is a better representation of what M/M romance should be all about. Surprisingly, this is a prequel to the third book in the series. We ultimately know how this series will end with the two main characters, Alain and Orlando, dying in approximately 90 years. This book however traces the history of the wizarding/vampire partnerships approximately one year after Serrier's fall. Overall, the characters were fairly well developed, and it focuses on the key relationships to move the story forward. This rates a solid three in my book. Unfortunately, I don't think that I am concerned enou... moregh about these characters to continue reading stories about them.
review 2: This is a spin-off from the Partnership In Blood series, which was really one long story split into four books. After the first book I got hooked and immediately read the rest. This story focuses on the developing partnership and relationship between Jean and Raymond and the events a year after the war. There was enough background information from the previous stories interwoven into the new story that a person not familiar with the series will not be lost and might find it enjoyable.For me, this one was a bit of a let down. I think in the back on my mind, and maybe unfairly, I kept comparing it to the previous books. In the series the main focus was on Alain and Orlardo, but there was still plenty of time devoted on the other partnerships and their development that I found myself caring about them just as much. They are in the new story as well, but I didn't feel as connected to them and I already forgot about the new characters that were introduced. I also didn't get that sense of urgency, anxiety and on-the-edge feeling until almost the end.It was nice to revisit and get an update on old fiends and on what happened after the war. But that's all that it was, just nice. less
