I wanted to like this book. Really, I did. Supernatural stuff. Some interesting history. Nice prose. Vivid description. But about a third of the way through I gave up. About the 20th time he took her his strong arms and she looked up into his piercing dark eyes and felt his cold lips on her skin and she shivered all over, and then he loses his temper with her and starts grabbing her roughly and she's kind of scared and kind of turned on—about that time I started feeling like I might have to urp. This is vampire romance, a genre the world needs no more of, with icky emotional elements that make the heroine look like a needy moron. Try again, Deborah Harkness. Make it less icky next time.
