Title: Disappointment
Review: The premise of this book sounded interesting enough -- a half-vamipre, half-human conwoman and her elven partner take on real vampires after spending years taking the money of superstitious peasants. The book itself was a huge disappointment. The characters spoke in "clever" cliches and were described with unoriginal, flat sentences; the narration was painfully clumsy; and the characters themselves were impersonal and impossible to empathize with. Not an original phrase or idea in the entire book.If you're interested in a genuinely absorbing "vampire" read, look to C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy. If you're looking for a good doorstop, buy Dhampir.
