I keep skipping the parts about John Keller. ( )

Weak in body but not is mind, the heroine lives each day knowing the diabetes will eventually kill her. She does live her life like she’s already dead though. She’s in the huge family mansion with her controlling and manipulating mother. She works in the basement of the museum where no one even acknowledges she even exists. And she longs for a family and a husband and all the things her disease has denied her. The hero is on the run from his kind after he attacked his wife for betraying him and their son. He’s haunted by her ghost and is slowly losing his mind. On the trail of that man who attacked and brutally scared a woman, he’s lead to the heroine. Wounded he drinks from her in an alleyway and immediately filled with remorse and guilt after learning about her illness. But it doesn’t stop him from entering her dreams every night and soon he can’t bring himself to leave her alone though he knows he should. She doesn’t deserve to have another demon in her life. My god this book was a disaster. From start to finish it was a muddled mess. First of all, the book is only 300 pages long and literally half or more than half of it isn’t even on the hero or heroine. Every other chapter would be about the other vampires and their problems. As a result only about 150 pages were actually centered on the ‘main’ characters. So everything was rushed and disjointed and they were just tossed together haphazardly. I was really disappointed because if the author had cut out all the other nonsense I think the characters could have been allowed to shine through. But instead I felt like only the surface lay was lifted in regards to the hero and heroines true character makeup. The hero was nothing more than a tortured criminal who stalked the heroine in her sleep (totally creepy just FYI). He had zero character development and though the heroine was a little better in that aspect, she was still the psychically p. That was another thing I didn’t like. The two characters spent 90% of their interactions in her dreams. Then the first meeting which doesn’t happen until the very end of the book, the hero is bending the chick over to screw her against the wall! It was so bizarre with ZERO romantic chemistry. Also, the plot was just a disjointed puzzle. I couldn’t tell what the damn thing was about. This was truly awful. ( )

This is my first book by Lynn Viehl. I enjoyed this book but now I need to go back and read the first book to see if I can fill in the gaps.

This seems to be about vampires and how they are cursed. The vampires in this book/series are not able to turn humans to vampires. It seems that the human die before the mutation is completed. ( )

Viehl's take on vampires. Interesting but not compelling. ( )
  lesmel | Jul 13, 2013 |
Driven to the edge of sanity by the Brethren's torture and his wife's betrayal, Thierry Durand has dropped off the face of the Darkyn map. A rogue force, with even his own kind hunting him, his sole focus is Jema Shaw. Walking through her dreams, he finds peace and comfort. But someone or something is threatening Jema....

A sheltered diabetic from an incredibly wealthy family, Jema knows her days are numbered. Her disease is progressing rapidly, and there's no cure. She finds respite in sleep and the mysterious male who visits her in her dreams - but dreams alone can't protect her. Or can they?

Perhaps because a good bit of the space is devoted to Alexandra and Michael, Jema and Thierry didn't seem quite as fully fleshed out as characters. But it definitely moves the storyline forward. ( )
