Book Reviews of Vampire Hunter

Book Review: The Tony Soprano of Vampires
Summary: 3 Stars

Michael Romkey is an exceptional writer when it comes to descriptions, building a mood, and providing vivid graphic violence. Unfortunately, he does not seem to be able to tell a story. The plot behind the Vampire Hunter was truly disappointing and lacked focus. I don't mean to be overly critical; there is a storyline with a variety of characters, the building of a plot, and then everything sort of coming together at the end. However, it's lackluster, with predictable and stereo typed people with what comes down to a really silly ending.

The main gist of the story begins when the Vampire, Dante Gabriel Rosetti (Charles) is awoken and freed from being trapped in the Titanic when a movie crew makes an attempt to raise the ship from the bottom of the ocean. Being unconscious for about 80 years leaves this Vampire with no memory of who he is or any of his past. Through some aimless raveling he enters an asane asylum of his own free will and becomes a patient of psychiatrist Dr. Abigail (Abby) Bloome who makes it her personal mission to help him rediscover himself.The rest of the story is a variety of episodes of Charles fighting his own demons, good and evil in between a number of sessions with the good psychiatrist. Not only are the local police and FBI involved in recent brutal killings, but a Charles Bronson like character makes it his personal vendetta to find the Vampire who killed his wife on the ship that was part of the film crew trying to raise the Titanic.

As far as a Vampire story goes, it's a disappointing one. What it comes down to once again is, you have a Vampire who has a conscience; he knows what he is and he's going to try resist it. In this story he find a companion in a professional therapist who's going to help him get control over his inner demons - his Hunger.

Michael Romkey has tremendous potential as a writer. His wording, his descriptions, and the overall mood he creates makes reading the individual paragraphs a pleasure. I'll continue to purchase his books because sooner or later, he's going to write a fantastic novel.

Summary of Vampire Hunter

RISEN FROM A WATERY GRAVE

Entombed for almost a century in the corpse of the Titanic at the bottom of the icy north Atlantic, the Vampire is finally released by a treasure-hunting expedition--that never makes it back alive.

OVERCOME WITH BLOODLUST

In a small South Carolina town, a stranger calling himself Charles Gabriel seeks desperate help from a beautiful psychiatrist. But while irresistible sexual passions are stirred by supernatural powers, the town falls victim to a horrifyingly rampant surge of an unearthly evil.

THE VAMPIRE HUNTER

Torn by his loyalty to a centuries-old, unholy brotherhood, the Vampire longs to be freed from his hunger, but he has become the prey of those who seek vengeance against him. Now the only escape is Death. . . .
