Secret Thirst

One word comes to mind. Dull. So much for putting my trust in majority rule. I am utterly frustated by yet another book that made me lose my interest on page two but I plodded through as a means of punishment inflicted for spending hard earned money on it.

The story is about Dr. Laurren Wright who finds a formula for artificial blood. When this brainy broad is not doing Nobel Prize worth research, she writes erotic fiction on her computer, involving bondage, a masterful male who fulfills her every fantasy and submission.She lacks a relationship so she substitutes by making up stories of her secret, most fervent desires. She is offered a large sum of money to sell this formula but when she refuses her laptop is stolen in the mistaken belief that the secret formula is stored there. Guess who wants the formula and in whose hands the computer has fallen? I won't leave you in suspense; a handsome vampire who does not wish to use innocent people for dinner (no breakfast or lunch for him as he is resting in his coffin then). He is disappointed not to find the formula but intrigued by Lauren's fantasies. Why would a vampire who has been around for a few hundred years be fascinated by such amateurish descriptions that bored me to tears, is beyond me.

Lauren is going home one night when she is attacked by a tainted vampire (not sure what that is) but Nicolas (the good bloodsucker) is there to whisk her off to a sex club appropriately called 'The House of Pain' run by a real mean and vicious vampire ,Simon Travain. The hero has no choice but to take the girl to the nearest 'first aid centre' for vampires. She needs to be treated urgently otherwise her life is at risk. Even when Lauren is unconscious she has dreams of her imaginary lover taking liberties with her body, doing unmentionable acts to her. By the way, half the book describes either Lauren's fantasies or her dreams, which I considered tedious as both were schoolgirl material.

The good side to being stuck in this decadent place is that Lauren has her dreams come to life and no longer needs to resort to fantasizing. The downside is that EVIL resides there that could put our heroes lives in jeopardy. I won't reveal more as I have already failed miserably in my promise to keep this book secret. If you find out about it and insist on reading it, don't forget that you were warned.

It is a harsh review but I have read so many poorly written books without imagination, care or inspiration that I have lost my patience. The characters had the depth of a thimble, being one dimentional and utterly predictable. The sex scenes did not involve the heroes' emotions and failed to even mildly ruffle my senses. This author is off my list as I won't risk another book by her. We invest our time in reading their work and our money in buying their books. How about some respect from those writers that like to think of themselves as authors?

I love reading this book....just couldn't put it down. Had a good story line. Definitly, erotic and sexy. This was my first book by Evangeling Anderson. Looking forward to more books by her.

This book will have you gasping for air. It is well written, and captivates your imagaination of actually creating a real life image, as if you are in sync with each character. Highly recommend it, it's erotic and suspense driven. Enjoy, over and over again.

This was my first book by Evangeline Anderson and I can't wait to get my hands on more. I was captivated from the first chapter to the very last. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a sexy, hot vampire.

I'm a lover of vampire/werewolf romance but I hate it when the books are short on plot and long on sex. This book was sexy, romantic, and I love the heroine. She's smart, accomplished and still falls for the vamp. Give it a go.
