MUCH ADO ABOUT VAMPIRES
Katie MacAlister

Reviewed by Gabrielle Lee
Posted October 17, 2011

Romance Paranormal | Paranormal - Supernatural

I enjoyed this book as much as every other book in this series. MUCH ADO ABOUT VAMPIRES was another great story involving the Dark Ones. In this book we meet Cora and Alec. Cora is a strong and intelligent woman who hates vampires and that is just what Alec happens to be. Yet Alec may be the one man who can help her against those that want to kill her. Can she get past her feelings and accept Alec and his help?

This is the ninth book in this series and while it can be read as a stand alone it would be better if you were to read this series from the beginning to get a better feel of the characters and this world. I have enjoyed this series from book one and this newest book does not disappoint. I really liked Alec and his broodiness. Cora is a total opposite and watching the two get together was a great read. It was nice to finally find out what happened in Alec's life and get his story told.

As the two try to make their way free they must also deal with their feelings for each other as well. I really enjoy this authors writing style and couldn't put this book down. I was pulled right into the wondrous world of the Dark Ones and loved every minute of it. Not only do we get Cora and Alec's story but we also get to visit with many other secondary characters. It was great to see all the characters and their adventure to defeat Bael and I loved the idea that passed through Cora about him being addicted to his smart phone and using Facebook.

Once again this author has done a wonderful job. I was sucked into the world of Dark Ones right from the start and was taken on a fantastic ride. This book is full of witty dialogue and great romance making it one that should not be missed.
