Rating: Summary: completely morbid and erotic Review: Nancy Collins knows the true nature of the damned as it should be...I could not put this book down...Sonja Blue is a most perfect host to the Other world of the dark...Was erotic yet horribly gruesome...Sonja is a dark angel walking our streets......Can't wait for more from this gothic hero of the night...
Rating: Summary: Unexpected writing--gory details Review: Not all vampire fanatics will sink their teeth into Sonja Blue. There isn't any romanticism attached to her lifestyle, there is no secret Brad Pitt with fangs fantasy world. Instead, Sonja Blue is the predator of vampires. She hunts people down, she rips them apart with her super-human strength, and then leaves them eviscerated on the floor. The tale is graphic enough to make my stomach turn. The writing is well-done and unexpected. The author isn't afraid to kill off your favorite characters at inopertune times, because Sonja knows little loyalty or humanity. This book fleshes out her origins and offers insight into the minds of the older vampires. Overall, it wasn't what I wanted. I was looking for romance, I was looking for scenes of beauty instead of constant scenes of painful death. I wanted a story of a human who became a vampire, not a human who became a monster.
Rating: Summary: Captivating from the Danger Ward to the Yucatan Review: Referred by a friend, I sought out the Sonja Blue collection and began reading. I'm not big on vampire books, but this book snagged me as soon as I entered the Danger Ward. I have just finished In the Blood, and about to read Paint it Black. These books are way good!

Rating: Summary: Sonja rocks!!! Review: Sonja Blue is a tough, no-nonsense chick. She is a incredibly strong half-vampire--who slays other vampires. Her human side is Denise Thorne, and her demon side is the Other. Her one goal--one burning revenge--is to kill her maker, the powerful Lord Morgan, who had raped young Denise and left her naked and dying on a crummy London street in 1969. Along the path of her extraordinary story, readers meet unique characters, such as Chaz, her cocky London ex-boyfriend and druggie; Catherine Wheele, a religious fanatic; Pangloss, Morgan's creator and Sonja's "grandfather"; Palmer, a detective-turned felonist-turned Sonja's boyfriend; and Lethe, the beautiful, mysterious vampire hybrid who calls her "Auntie Blue." I just wish that Ms. Collins could continue writing about the escapades of Sonja Blue.

Rating: Summary: Easily the best Review: Sonja Blue. The name sends shivers up my spine. This is THE BEST book I have ever read. Forget all about Anne Rice. This books got all that vampires truly are. This book made the punk vampire genre what it is today. I have read this book well over twelve times. I am on my thirteenth time and I am not yet tired of it. I have read it so many times the book has all but disentigrated. I highly suggest it to anyone who reads.
Rating: Summary: Very satisfying trilogy Review: Sunglasses at Night introduced the reader to the dark and very strange world of Sonya Blue. In the Blood gave us insight into how she came to be who she is. Paint it Black shed the white glare of daylight onto Sonya's life as she struggled to come to terms with who she is. Finally A Dozen Black Roses is the culmination of the three as Sonya explores her reason for being. This vampire isnt as flashy as LeStat, but is definitely much darker and more insightful. Excellent series if youre looking for a surreal literary distraction.
