Title: A Vampire Soap Opera
Review: This was my first Laurell K. Hamilton novel. I picked it up in a bookstore at the airport hoping that it was similar to my ultimate favorite paranormal books by Kelley Armstrong. What I found instead was that while Hamilton has a very imaginative sexual mind, I found most of the ideas rather disturbing (sex with a leopard, anyone?) and felt like I was reading a screen play for a bad vampire soap opera. Who suspected vampires and various were-animals were so dang emotionally delicate? Through all the psycho-babble dialouge I just never bought off on what Hamilton was trying to sell. Lots of pages dedicated to some very thoughtful sex scenes, but the entire story for me was anti-climactic. Too bad for me!
