Book Reviews of Beyond the Pale (The Darkwing Chronicles, Book 1)
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I had high hopes for this novel as I am somewhat of a paranormal romance addict. There were just to many problems with this book I hardly know where to start. First of all it took almost 60 pages before the main character and her `love interest' meet. Not to mention that the male lead is not likeable in the least. The author seems to have delusions of Anne Rice grandiosity, even mentioning some of Anne's characters (Lestat and Louis) as potentially existing alongside her characters. This novel puts me in the mind of a failed science fiction novel. The intimate scenes seem like they were stuck in after word as an afterthought, to find a market for a boring, bland and uninteresting story. The dialog was awful at best, the so called `romance' barely exists and anyone who reads romance novels on a regular basis is going to be very disappointed in how this book ends. The worst part is that it's almost like they took a longer novel and arbitrarily chopped it into sections to to be able to sell it in multiple books (i.e. you would have to buy the entire series to see how it ends). My next stop with this book is the used book store, were I plan on trading it in for a book that is worth reading. If you are looking for a great paranormal romance writer look for Kresley Cole, Christine Feehan, Maggie Shayne, or Angela Knight as they are not the disappointment this book was.
Summary of Beyond the Pale (The Darkwing Chronicles, Book 1)
The government knows that Daphne Urban is a vampire, and they have an ultimatum: spy for them, or be killed. The choice is easy. She can speak 13 languages, has a genius IQ, and has escaped detection for nearly five hundred years-making her perfect for Team Darkwing. Her first mission is to get close to Bonaventure, a shady arms dealer with an unexpected gift for seduction. But when Darius, a darkly sexy vampire slayer, begins chasing her, Darius is torn between desire and duty. For his lithe, young prey is also his ultimate temptation.Fantasy, Futuristic & Ghost Books
