review 1: Fan of vampire fiction in the Victorian, turn of the century, steampunk type realm. This one has it. Good, fast paced story and ended the way I had hoped it would. I don't know if there is a sequel, I looked it up awhile back and couldn't find one. Be nice to have a sequel, or more along this line from the author. If you like well written vampire fiction, a fan of the genre, and not that teen age romance crap (or even some of the "adult" hack crap) you will like this book.
review 2: I picked this up at a used placed as a 'what the heck,' brain candy type of book. I found this relatively enjoyable (except the rather unsatisfactory ending), and quite a bit smarter than I thought. More mystery than anything else, the movement in time was well handled, neither ja... morerring nor muddled. The historical aspects were interesting. Clearly someone had done some research but didn't allow it to dominate the storyline. Characters were relatively flat, but not entirely stereotyped. Given that, however, the choice the archeologist makes at the end and the fact that two other just disappear without narrative note seemed odd. Sort of as if it had been finished in a rush -- perhaps the authors was told X number of words, no more and had to hit just what he felt were the key bits. Interesting take on the vampire and historicity. less
