Book Reviews of Dead of Night
Book Review: Eve Dallas takes on a futuristic vampire . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has 4 novellas: "Eternity in Death" by J. D. Robb; "Amy and the Earl's Amazing Adventure" by Mary Blayney; "Timeless" by Ruth Ryan Langan; and "On The Fringe" by Mary Kay McComas.
I bought it primarily for "Eternity in Death" and was pleased by Eve's trip to the underworld of New York in April 2060 and her confrontation with the vampire protagonist. One hundred and three pages and worth the price.
"Amy and the Earl's Amazing Adventure" (82 pages) have an adventure that involves going back to Regency England with the help of a magic coin. Like Amy, I've read a lot of Regency romances but I doubted that Amy and I had read any of the same ones. The story was okay.
"Timeless" (90 pages) is set in the Scottish Highlands was my third favorite story in the book. It, like lots of the Highland romance novels I've read, also involved time travel though it doesn't try to explain the mechanism that takes the heroine back to meet her soul mate.
"On The Fringe" (97 pages) was my second favorite story. It seems very grounded in everyday mundane life and then takes a turn that was surprising and delightful but left me going "NO! NO! NO! that can't happen" -- but everything comes right in the end, of course, for everyone.
I'm not sure if I'll be on the look out for other stories by Blayney, Langan and McComas or not.
Summary of Dead of Night
Nora Roberts, writing as J.D. Robb, puts futuristic lieutenant Eve Dallas in a supernatural showdown with a most seductive criminal: a vampire.
An ancient coin whisks an American woman and a modern-day earl into the past-and into each other's arms-in a stirring tale from Mary Blayney.
When a city girl visits a Scottish castle in Ruth Ryan Langan's story, she is thrust into a timeless romance with a mighty Highland laird.
And Mary Kay McComas gives an unhappy wife a magic-carpet ride into an alternate reality to show her the grass isn't always greener.
