Sebastien the Satanist is simply too hissably evil for belief. The malignant drivel that passed for dialogue which spewed from his mouth made my eyes roll at an alarming rate. Why, oh why would anyone hang around with - or even work for - someone as evil as Sebastien? Oh, right. No one would because he's a condescending prick that just might break your kneecaps for no good reason whatsoever. Bleh. Madeleine, for the era when the story takes place, begins as a relatively strong female character but that falls by the wayside come the denouement. The rest of the characters are boringly rendered caricatures. Gervaise was especially irritating given his nonsensical behavior. Needless to say, I won't be continuing the series.

I've read this book literally dozens of times and I know it by heart. It is my absolute favorite book of ALL time. I've read others by Ms. Yarbro but nothing compares to this. I keep looking for the sequel and only find different stories with St. Germaine as the lead character. This book is utterly unforgettable and *always* leaves me hungering for more!

From a Bram Stoker Award winner, the first tale of the ancient Carpathian vampire, set in the Paris of King Louis XV . . . Le Comte de Saint‑Germain appears to be a wealthy, worldly aristocrat, envied and desired by many but fully known to none. In fact, he is a vampire, born in the Carpathian Mountains in 2119 BCE, turned in his late thirties, and destined to roam the world forever, watching and participating in history. In Hôtel Transylvania, this charismatic hero makes his first appearance in the long-running series as he battles against Satanists to preserve the young Madelaine de Montalia from ruin. It's a richly atmospheric tale of dark fantasy and gothic suspense from the first woman to be named a "Living Legend" by the International Horror Guild, an author who uses "her vampire hero as a lens to focus on the best and worst of human behavior throughout history" (Publishers Weekly).
