review 1: One of my favorite authors. I love this series in particular, as I enjoy her paranormal romances more than the contemporary ones. What I love about Emma Holly (and Kresley Cole too for that matter) is that the worlds they build around their characters are so very different from what you usually find in a paranormal romance series. And you never ever get a cookie cutter format out of either author. You never ever feel like this book is just like the last book in the series only the names have been changed. Her originality is what makes this author, and especially this series, so very good.
review 2: Angel at Dawn by Emma HollyParanormal Romance – Jan 4th, 20104 starsEmma Holly's much anticipated conclusion to the star crossed romance between Christian and... more the ghost Grace from Devil at Midnight is concluded in this 1950's era, paranormal romance.What I loved about the 1st book, Devil at Midnight, is the fantastic tension when Grace becomes a ghost and could not be materialize when Christian is human. So although their love bloomed, they cannot physically touch each other, which made it very intense since they were so attracted to each other. In this story, we discover that Grace was dead for 6 minutes. During those 6 minutes, she traveled back in time to the 1400’s and met Christian as a ghost and they fell in love. When she was brought back alive she returned to her own body in the future (1950s). But she left Christian when needed her and he thought she deserted him every since. Now it is hundreds of years later and Christian is an immortal vampire turned by the evil Nim Wei, and he just wants to be left alone. Christian lives on an isolated farm in the 1950s when Nim Wei, the vampire queen who turned him, visits with an unexpected guest. Her fresh faced assistant is named Grace Gladwell, and she looks exactly like the love he lost 500 years ago except a little older. Nim Wei is producing a film and she wants Christian as the main lead. With his handsome looks, Nim Wei knows the movie will be a hit. Christian doesn’t want to do anything with the film or Nim Wei but her assistant, Grace is another matter. Grace is sweet, innocent and full of life. He soon realizes she must be the Grace who left him when he needed her many years ago. But then Grace was a ghost and this human Grace is not the same woman who pledged her love to him. This Grace has no memory of their past. Christian is troubled and frustrated when she doesn’t remember him! Can he get over his sense of betrayal and convince Grace of their past love?There isn't as much tension in this story as the 1st. The sexual tension between the 2 main characters is scorching but it doesn't have the angst and longing of the prior book. Mainly because Grace doesn't remember Christian which is a little frustrating and slightly anti-climatic. Also Nim Wei has a soft spot for Grace and is unaware of their past together so she isn't as evil as the 1st book, which makes it less tense, too. This is a solid romance and a satisfying conclusion to their romance but I didn't not get as emotionally involved as I did with the prior book.Scenes between the main characters are blazing but the story lacks the sweet wonder of 1st love from the prior book since Christian is now hardened and much older. Still, his undying love for Grace is touching and poignant as Christian tries to help Grace remember him. A worthy and satisfying conclusion to Devil at Midnight.Reviewed by Steph from the Bookaholics Book Club less
