Book Blurb: Delila has roamed the Earth for over one thousand years with her maker, Alaric. She has everything a vampire could want: beauty, brains, a booming business, and an ability to read human emotions. When a werewolf makes an imprint in her life, Delila feels she may have finally found the soul mate she has been seeking. But when everything goes terribly wrong Delila finds herself burdened with a young half breed child to protect from the evil forces of her world.
Review: Like Silly Love Songs, the world may have enough vampire tales. I admit to loving a good vampire story, so I thought I'd give this story a go.
I was pretty good too, a little bit Anne Rice and a little bit of Maggie Shayne. There's a touch of romance in the story, but it isn't what the story is about, it is Delila's story.
I would have liked this book to be a little longer than its 235 pages. Lindsay has created a female vampire that could give Lestat a run for his money, but she leaves us wanting to know more, as she moves the story forward.
She's a sexy, sensual vamp who is also very nurturing. She's the mother of all vampires! She also retains a lot of her humanity. The humans in her life are well treated. She's a fighter, but mostly when provoked.
What I would have loved to have seen more of in this book is the development of the secondary characters. Alaric, her maker didn't feel like he was a full part of the book, and Eli, the werewolf, lover and then enemy? The way he changed as the book went on didn't feel right to me. It happened to fast. I also would have loved to have learned more of her early years as a vamp in ancient Rome.
Overall, this was a good read and a pleasant book to pass a few hours with.
