Sequel to the Companion. Decent story featuring a young, virginal woman who sees people's lives when she touches them and the haunted vampire who saves her. Not as good as the Companion.
tartleigh's review against another edition
3.0
My standards tend to be pretty low with romance novels, because honestly, I'm not reading it to "better" myself, but this book is just silly. (3 stars for the many varieties of sex - f/f/f/m, f/f/m, f/m) Now on to my complaints: (contains spoilers)
In atonement for making a bad vampire, the main guy gives himself over to 3 women to be sexually tortured until he can explode blocks of ice with the force of his ejaculations. One of the three goes mad when he loses control and cums in her. You read correctly, Dude is a loaded sex weapon! Let's call him the Sexterminator.
The main female has a cool affliction, which did make the story more interesting, but I just didn't like her by the end. "Making Love" with the Sexterminator finally gives her the self confidence to stand up for herself, oh and the 2 years of sexual torture at the hands of 3 vampires has in no way affected his performance in bed. He can wear out several-thousand-year-old vampires, but is gentle enough to take care of a human virgin.
Her serial-rapist cousin is actually the Van Helsing of myth, and therefore, despite anally raping a side character and trying more than once to rape the main character, is allowed to go free. His punishment? When he thinks about hurting others, he becomes impotent. Really?! Great, now he's just going to become a serial killer because he can't live out his depraved fantasies.
On the subject of rape, the Sexterminator is captured and raped (almost to death) by the 2 remaining vampire b*tches. That's right, they plan to screw him to death! Luckily, the plan is foiled by the conscience of one vampire, and the main female.
And they all live happily-ever-after, on the run from the leader of all vampires I suppose. I mean, if the head vampire sends his daughters out to kill you, is he going to stop at the command/request of his remaining daughter? He has centuries to think of another plan.
