review 1: This was a fast, easy read. This wasn't a book I was planning on reading I just happened to come by it & just now noticed it is the sixth book in a series but didn't know the difference when I was reading it. I enjoy vampire books and this one was no exception even though it is not your typical vampire story & at first thought I think of a time traveling vampire looking to reclaim her lost love sounds a bit cheesy but I liked the book. There was enough little twists and turns and the fact that the time traveling vampire didn't know that she was reliving that part of her life (so she did not know she came back to save her one true love) made it more interesting. The story was told in great detail so it is easy to picture exactly what is going on. Based on this book and some... more of the other reviews I think I might check out the rest of the books in this series. I like reading books with strong females who are in control with a lot of twists, especially if she's a vampire.
review 2: One With the Darkness by Susan Squires Mass paperback – June 3, 2008 4 Stars Susan Squires excels at the dark, tormented heroes. But I have been long awaiting another book that feature another powerful female vampire. In One With the Darkness, the Contessa Donnatella di Poliziano is a vampire who has everything. She is beautiful, rich, and blessed with immortality. However, she cannot forget her lost love Jergan. Jergan died as a human because she never had the courage to turn him into a vampire. Centuries later, she still mourns his loss. When she suddenly receives the gift of time travel, the Contessa boldly goes back to find Jergan and correct her grievous mistake and make him a vampire, too. The only problem is when she returns to the past, she has no memory of Jergan! Will history repeat itself or will the Contessa finally find true happiness? Susan Squires excels at creating dark tormented heroes and in One With the Darkness she does just that. Her writing is richly detailed and exotic and that is clearly demonstrated in the captivating Contessa. It is always refreshing when the heroine is the older and ‘wiser’ character. This book was a delightful read. The only disparity I found was at the end of the book. The Contessa is supposed to be a clever and confident woman with initiative, but in the end, she is easily manipulated and looses heart! Although this situation did add incredible tension to the story I felt this wavering of the heroine’s true character was not consistent or true to nature. This was a strong book but the end left me with mixed feelings.Reviewed by Steph at Bookaholics Romance Book Club less
