Summary: I Thirst For More
Review: "I Thirst For You" was absolutely terrific. I had read "I Burn For You" very recently and it was fresh in my mind so I was already familiar with the different groups of vampires in this book. Where the first book dealt with a "Clan" vampire, this one dealt with a "Family" vampire. Marcus Cage was every inch a hero, even when he didn't think so himself. He escaped torture at the hands of mad scientists and ran straight into the arms of his soul mate (or Bond Mate). Josephine Elliot was fragile after her recent plane crash and was trying to find some peace of mind in the middle of the desert when this large, overwhelming man came out of the night and took her captive, body and soul. This story was a non-stop, exciting ride. It took me just a few hours to read the book because I became so engrossed in Marc and Jo's story. The love scenes were wonderful and intense. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in vampire stories or romance. You don't even have to be a vampire fiction fan to enjoy this story. The romance alone is worth the read. My only complaint is that the book was not long enough (are they ever) and now I have to wait so long to read the next one.

Summary: I really wanted to like this book.....
Review: But I just couldn't like either one of the main characters. I loved the concept, it should have been a great story but the dialogue was lackluster and each of their encounters generated no sizzle for me. They had no discernible chemistry that I could see. The female just gets herded along without asking any questions about what he wants with her. Then she betrays him? He might have understood but I sure didn't!! Maybe the next one will be more interesting.

Summary: You have got to read this book!
Review: From the first page, what can I say, dark, sensual, sexual, exciting, and electrifying! If you like vampires and erotica, this is the book for you! I had a most difficult time putting this book down each night. The writing was crisp and snappy. I just loved the edginess of the two main characters, Jo and Marc. Susan's world of family, clans, and tribes is refreshing. I give lots of kudos for I Thirst For You. Can't wait to read I Hunger For You next Spring! Way to go, Susan!

Summary: Should have been a better book
Review: Having read other books by the same author, I found I was more than a little disappointed in this one, especially as part of an ongoing series.The book itself is fairly short for the genre at 325 rather largely-typed softcover pages. As necessity, the character development, especially of Marc the hero, is stunted. If you haven't read the first in the series, you probably spent at least a couple dozen pages scratching your head and wondering what the heck a "Prime" was. There's a miniscule explanation, which doesn't at all do justice to what was a major plotline in book 1 and looks to be in book 3. The heroine is typical: sexy, spunky, a little extraordinary, willing to accept a lot of strange behavior from a guy who looks good in a towel. What we know of the hero is also standard fare: sexy manly man with lots of secrets. That's about as deep as it gets, with barely a glance at his all-important family and clan lines. I'm not really sure why Sizemore chose to focus so much on the familial demands in the vamp hierarchy in book 1, only to nearly completely drop it in book 2. The bad guy is interesting in a sort of mad-scientist cliched way and Sizemore keeps one theme constant that I appreciate: that the vamp isn't necessarily all-powerful, able to leap buildings in a single bound while never getting tired. Other than that, this book could easily have just appeared as one of the Harlequin books of the month. There's not much in here that is deserving of either the romance or the horror aisle, just enough of both to make it readable until the new Laurell Hamilton book is out. I would only recommend this for die-hard Sizemore or vamp romance fans. It's not particularly well-written and the story won't stay with you for much more than an hour or two past finishing it, but it's okay for a painless, quickie beach read.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: I did not read the first book in the series, but I liked this book. It had certain elements of Christene Feehan's Dark Series. Only it is alot lighter and I thought there were one or two spots where it got corney. But it was an entertaining read and I did enjoy it. Just dont look for anything too deep or involved, it is light.

Summary: Great read and a new spin on vamps
Review: I love how she writes the vamp in a new way while still keeping with the old fashioned feel of tradition. Unlike Feehan, I enjoyed that the female in this was truly strong, and not just one of those no means yes kind of girls. She pretty much accepts her physical attraction to the main character from the get go and doesn't feel guilty about it. And honestly, kicks serious butt, and gets the true admiration of Marc. Not just, oh how cute, she is fighting back, but to no avail. I do like alpha male type characters, but I also like women characters written to give as good as they get, and this one didn't disappoint.
I thought the writing was fresh and real, and at times, surprisingly funny. You'll need to hold this one with oven mitts, because it is hot, hot, hot!

Summary: Buy this one for sure, but ignore the cover art!
Review: I LOVED the first book, and read the sneak preview in the back of it for this one. The publisher should be spanked; they not only changed the title between publication of the sneak chapters and actual distribution of the book (Makes it hard to pre-order a book when you have a bogus title!) but once they put it out, they used cover art with NO relationship to the actual main charactors (He has curly short dark hair and a largish nose, she has short blonde hair; cover shows him with longish straight hair and her with long dark hair. Duh)
The first book concentrated on one faction of Vampire society, the Clans; this book features a representative of the Families. Each group sees the other through an ethnocentric point of view, which is refreshingly humanlike - - - I can't wait to see what she does with a member of the Tribes as a main charactor, or better yet, what the first-person view of a female vampire would be, considering their somewhat restricted biology. What I didn't like was the introduction of a paramilitary "DPI" like evil organization intent on developing immortality by experimenting on Vampires in a labratory. Hmm... read this elsewhere. She loves alpha males, fast pace, intricate personal relationships, and invests her writing with good background detail.
This was overall an engaging read, and you should read both this and "I BURN FOR YOU", if you haven't already.

Summary: WOW AND DOUBLE WOW!!!
Review: I read this book in one sitting and the time just flew by. It captures your interest from the first page and never lets you down. Granted some events were obvious and of course we knew Marc and Jo would be captured, but how they got away was worth the read. I also agree it took a long time for Josephine to realize Marcus was a vampire, but that's not an easy concept to grasp. How long would it take you? This was a true love story and I loved every minute of reading it and look forward to the next book in this series. I even enjoyed reading the previous book to remind myself where the hero fits in the series. Read I Burn For You and then read this one - you will be in for a real enjoyable journey into Susan Sizemore's original vampire world.
