Book Reviews of Vampire, Interrupted (Argeneau Vampires, Book 9)
Book Review: Great story, lousy writing
Summary: 3 Stars
The story itself was pretty good but I thought the execution of it was deeply flawed. At least twice I found continuity issues (e.g., character wishing she'd had more time to explore such-n-such city last time they were there instead of three days buried in archive research, yet roughly 100 pages later it's being pounded into the read that she's never been to that city).
There seemed to be a lot of repetitiveness as well. It bothered me that near the beginning of the book the two main characters chatted all night in a coffee shop with him telling her all about his son's progression to becoming involved with a hard rock band, then near the end of the book they have very nearly the same conversation with him being very uncertain about what to even call the type of music his son was currently involved with... and her acting as if it were all brand new information to her even though the previous conversation happened no more than a week or so in the timeline of the book!
There were a few lines that kept repeating, too, as if the author felt the need to pound a certain idea into the reader's head (or just make word count) that I found extremely annoying.
All in all, I enjoyed the actual story but I do feel it could have been better written (or, you know, edited at all) without losing any of the magic.
Summary of Vampire, Interrupted (Argeneau Vampires, Book 9)
After seven hundred years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She's training to be a private investigator, and her first assignment is to find an immortal's mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realizes she's in way over her head.
Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite, and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn't know it yet, but she's his lifemate and he's determined to woo her. It's been over five hundred years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven't changed. Now if only he can keep her alive-so to speak-so they can have that happily-ever-after.
