Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestI was introduced to Ms. Viehl's work through her science fiction series, STARDOC, and the standalone, BLADE DANCER. She wrote strong, sassy women who were often involved in a medical profession (because, surprise, surprise, the author is a U.S.A.F. veteran who worked in civilian and military hospitals). When I found out that she wrote urban fantasy/paranormal romance under another name, that went onto my to-read list faster than you can
Very disappointing. There was no real romance. I mean, their dialogue usually went something like this:Vamp hero: "Stay with me."Almost vamp heroine: "No, I'm an independent woman who doesn't need a man."VH: "Stay with me."AVH: "No, I can take care of myself even though I have no idea how to handle what has happened to me and am slowly starving to death." Vampire Servant: "You just need to give her time. Let her chooe you."VH: "Okay, I'll try. I need you, I'll help you, I'll take care of you."
Barely a few pages in and there are references to a "tranny" and a "large black woman" who fosters children "so she doesn't have to work." Seriously? Hard pass.
Originally posted at WickedLilPixie Reviews4.5 StarsI have to admit, Id not heard of this author before. I have no idea how I missed her. I saw a promotional post on her latest release Nightborn (Lords of the Darkyn) spinoff the Darkyn series, and it sounded so good! But because I am really particular about reading series in order, I picked this first book in the series up immediately. Once I started If Angels Burnand updated goodreads status to Twitter, everyone was like ARE YOU JUST NOW
5 stars Vampire/Urban Fantasy RomanceIve had Viehls Darkyn series on my TBR shelf for quite some time now, but Id made a decision not to start on any new series until Ive caught up with all the others that Im following. Oh well, resolutions are made to be broken, right? I have to say that in this case, Im glad because I found this to be an engrossing and chilling read.As some other reviewers have noted, it leans more towards urban fantasy rather than straight paranormal romance due to the dark,
I've re-read this book (and Dark Need) trying to understand how I could love this author's voice, but not her books. Yes, they are difficult to categorise, but it shouldn't be such a problem. Alas they seem to be for me. They have a stunning world-building and convoluted plots. But I believe that their lack of clear focus are what disturbs me. I can't feel nor figure the romantic elements, I'm told they love but it's never evident nor acceptable to me. I really never see how they came to love. I
