This is the first of the St. Germain novels. It is not my favorite, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. ( )

A little too sadistic for me. 4.5 stars for the first 3/4 then 2.5 stars for the remaining 1/4 of the book. ( )

Yarbro's historical vampire novel just couldn't keep my interest. I read only the first chapter (111 pages), and while I may return to it one day, and tucked it away for awhile.

Historical romance type series. Obligatory beautiful woman. Throw in a father, a bunch of satanists and an honorable type of vampire, the
Count. The Count of course has to try and do his beast to make the most of both a terrible personal situation for the woman, and a terrible general political situation that surrounds them.

The horrors created by man always eclipse those deriving from the supernatural. A marvelous romance story. A good-guy vampire, a cabal of satanists, what's not to love? Yarbro is in love with history, and pads her novels out with letters and notes focusing on the events of the times her books are set in. She seems to hope you will love history as well, and certainly puts it into a palatable format with this series. Saint-Germain's growth of personality over time, and his ability to adapt to his surroundings are a welcome change from the usual angst-filled vampires of late. ( )

I've read this book literally dozens of times and I know it by heart. It is my absolute favorite book of ALL time. I've read others by Ms. Yarbro but nothing compares to this. I keep looking for the sequel and only find different stories with St. Germaine as the lead character. This book is utterly unforgettable and *always* leaves me hungering for more!
