Marjorie M. Liu's works are usually spectacular, and A TASTE
OF CRIMSON is no exception. L.A. is divided into vampires
and werewolves...oh yeah, and humans who don't trust
either. Ironically, while the day-loving werewolves are
forced into ghettos below the streets, the vampires reign
in shiny glass highrise buildings, with the humans squashed
between. However, someone is murdering vampires, possibly
to mess with a proposed treaty. Michael has long been the
vampire charged with bringing his kin to final justice, and
Keeli Maddox finds herself siding with him to help
investigate, an act that marks her as an outsider, no
matter her familial connections. In addition, everyone
seems to be waiting for her to go crazy and reveal the
lunacy found in the Maddox blood. This isn't the best time
for an inter-species romance, but when is?
Excellently
written, A TASTE OF CRIMSON depicts a city divided and those
who wish to see it remain so. This is a great book!
Dark, restless things prowl the L.A. streets. A series of
unexplained murders threatens to shatter an uneasy peace
among humans, vampires, and werewolves.
Keeli Maddox needs to find the answers. And now, if she and
her kin are to survive, she must trust a man as different
from her as night is from day. Michael is a slayer, a
betrayer. . . an enemy. But Keeli, herself no stranger to
shadow, knows that nobility can lurk in unexpected places—
and that this remarkable being who takes her breath away is
meant to be with her. . . forever. In the midst of gravest
peril, their lives are about to change, as together they
rediscover the unparalleled pleasure of skin on skin, and
the sweet, forbidden ecstasy found in a taste of crimson.
I Love Love this book..well the entire series. I have re-read them many times. Thanks for the review and reminding me I need to read them again. (Anne Clark 1:04pm October 21, 2011)
Sounds very interesting--certainly my kind of story. Will definitely plan on reading A Taste of Crimson. (Lynne Mauro 10:34pm October 21, 2011)
