Book Review: 3 1/2 REALLY...
Summary: 3 Stars
VAMPIRES ARE FOREVER - is the 8th book in the Argeneau vampire family saga.
I feel this book is going to be hard to review - as I LIKED it -but after I finished it I kind of wondered if I had liked all that much! I was disappointed that like with TALL DARK AND HUNGRY, the book lacked intensity and depth. I liked the two lead characters - Thomas (a younger vampire in the Argeneau family) and Inez were great couple together. Thomas was portrayed here as a mature and interesting individual - with depth - and not the youngster in the family. Inez was a professional and intelligent woman, able to make decisions and not the usual empty-headed heroine. Unfortunately, the sub-plot, a rather convoluted narration about the "searching for mom" mystery - Marguerite Argeneau, took over rather than focusing on their story.
The book has a beautiful cover but in my opinion VAMPIRES ARE FOREVER was more of a "filler" for the next book VAMPIRE INTERRUPTED - Marguerite's story. The novel ended very abruptly and there was actually no resolution. Frankly, after reading the 370 odd pages, it failed to leave a lasting impression on the lead characters and felt somewhat cheated, as Thomas and Inez story deserved more meatiness to their story and it was rather lacking.
Mostly, the story revolved around them traipsing to Amsterdam and England looking for Marguerite, who is never found and incessant phone calls between Thomas, Bastian and other Argeneau family members...
I believe in creating a cliffhanger scenario for a next book - but VAMPIRES ARE FOREVER had a lot of holes and left plenty of unanswered questions.... I have tremendously enjoyed all of Lynsay Sands' novels (including her historicals), but in the last couple of books I've read, she's had a bit of a hiccup in her writing style. I am just about to start VAMPIRE INTERRUPTED and hope that it reclaims Lynsay's old style.
Still, after all that is said - I did like the story as I finished it. For those hard-core fans of the Argeneaus - you will want to read this one so that you can form your own opinion!
Book Review: Not really Thomas's story but foreshadows of moms
Summary: 3 Stars
In this book we learn a little about Thomas, what he does for a living and meet his lifemate but truly this book doesn't go into too much detail
into their relationship because it is telling about the search for his mom before telling her story in Vampire Intterrupted. Is this a stand alone book? Hardly. As with the other books I wish she would have chosen to go into more detail like is Unia decesnded from the mortal friend Thomas had with the same last name. I hope she writes more about
Thomas in a later book somehow, for this book truly was more about the
search for his mom than him, and in all the other books I enjoyed Thomas
interaction with his family.
Book Review: Not as rounded as the rest of the series - but still enjoyable
Summary: 3 Stars
Although I did enjoy this book I found it lacked something that the others in the series have, a real in-depth exploration of the lead characters. I felt Thomas was given the short straw, I really wanted to know about his music and his past, also what happens to Thomas and Inez afterwards? where do they live?
There seemed to be too many introductions of other characters from the series which prevented the depth in this book. Still a nice read :)
Book Review: Good...but...
Summary: 5 Stars
It was another great read! I was only a little disappointed in the end. I just wished for a couple more chapters on the main couple. Oh well...it just made me glad the next book was already out!
