The Blackstone Vampires

review 1: I truly enjoyed the first half of the book. It told the story of a traumatized young heroine's dark past, her struggle to overcome the horrors she'd experienced, and her eventual arrival at Blackstone - a mysterious manor on the Moors. All in all, a perfect setting for a gothic tale, and a great build up of suspense.The second half of the book was a complete let-down. After the slow, tantilizing build up, I felt like all the dark secrets discovered by the heroine were being thrown at me all at once. Many bizarre things happened, several that bordered on outlandish. And the pacing became almost frantic. To me it seemed as if there was an attempt to cram in as much horror as possible before the end of the book. Very strange.It felt as if the writer spent a great deal of time... more on the first half of the book, carefully crafting the story to a high quality read - then half-way through, ended up rushing to finish the book without the same regard for quality. So disappointing! I will not be reading any other books from this series.
review 2: Title - The House on Blackstone MoorAuthor - Carole GillDark . . . . very dark . . . .This novel starts out with Rose. Rose was abused for years by her father and while away carrying for a sick aunt her father murders her mother, two sisters and a brother. The family doctor took her to a hospital and it was there she was taken under the wing of Dr. Bannion. He placed her at Marsh asylum. Here she tried to heal and even had a job of sewing, one day she was offered a job as a governess at Blackstone. Excited and hopeful of a new life Rose has no idea what lies behind the doors of Blackstone. Vampires and demons OH MY ! ! ! While reading this I pictured it to be a black and white and only when they talked about the garden at Blackstone did I even see color. The author's descriptive writing was excellent. You felt like you were there, seeing and hearing all that is going on, which will leave you a little shaken! It was a book that I would not start late at night, due to you not wanting to put it down! There is a mystery and even a love story around every corner! ! !Wende Sheetsstars - 4complimentary book given for a free review juliesbookreview.blogspot.com less
