Summary: Another Terrific Book!!
Review: "Crimson Shadows," the third book by Trisha Baker featuring the characters Simon Baldevar and his consort/wife, Meghann O'Neill mainly revolves around the lives of of their twins, Elizabeth and Mikal. Elizabeth is the mortal, loving, and normal child while Mikal is an evil vampire-born creature that is the realization of the philosopher's stone. Simon originally got Meghann pregnant to produce the philosopher's stone knowing that this vampire child would be able to walk in daylight and possess powers that other vampires could only dream of possessing.There is a lot of violence, mainly on the account of Mikal and his desire to seek and destroy his family starting with Simon, but there is also a lot of love shared between the other characters. While this book was not as exciting as the previous two, there was much action and suspense. The book also showed Simon, a ruthless killer in the previous books, as a loving father, whose heart had been so hardened, softened to a degree when the lives of his daughter, wife, and friends were in jeopardy. I would highly recommend this book, especially to those who have read "Crimson Kiss" and "Crimson Night". "Crimson Shadows" is a good continuance of an incredible story with some surprises that will leave you shocked! I hope Trisha Baker continues with this series because she definitely leaves you wanting more and mores from these intriguing characters!!

Summary: Crimson Shadows
Review: A story of passion, murder, incest, and much more. A good read, and deffinitely a reccomendation for those who have read the first two, or those who are fans of the vampire erotica, a quickly rising class of books with a great mixture of romance and action.

Summary: not the worst but definitely not the best
Review: I know this is a fictional novel about vampires. I know that vampires don't exist. Yet I still expect the characters to be somewhat believable with some 'human' characteristics. The way that Meghann acted towards Simon was appalling and made me want to gag. She would suffer horrible, degrading abuse from him the one minute, then the next she would wax poetically about her undying love for him. Please. It was sickening. It was like reading some twisted form of a harlequin romance novel. Stay away from this one.

Summary: Book Three of a Great Vampire Series!
Review: If you've read Crimson Kiss and Crimson Night, you owe it to yourself to read Crimson Shadows. This book ties up enough loose ends that it could be the finale of a solid trilogy. But it leaves enough openings to continue the series (which I sincerely hope happens). The characters are well developed and believable. Mikal is just plain sick, twisted and evil - you'll love to hate him. Simon is still damaged goods, but he's learning to swallow his ever so abundant pride and chose his actions based on what's best for his family, not just proving his own strength and utter dominance. Meghann is stronger, less codependent. I loved this book and hope to see more from Trish Baker in the future.

Summary: REALLY Bad
Review: Run-on sentences, cardboard characters, asides that turn into sagas but don't really matter... Somebody thinks this is a writer? Yikes! I just can't keep from putting it down.

Summary: Mixed Feelings 3-1/2 stars
Review: The first chapter of the book lived up to my expectations. For the next 100 or so pages (even though it was well written) I was a little disappointed and sometimes bored with the story of Ellie & Jimmy because it lacked the same action and intensity as the first two books. I thought Crimson Shadows would pick up with the story of Meghann & Simon's twins Ellie & Mikhail. I would like to have known more about Mikhail's life as I read about Ellie & Jimmy. However, once the book focused on Mikhail, it was full speed ahead. Hair-raising horror -- I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of this book. Ms Baker has flair and style and inasmuch as this is the third book in the series, it is worth reading.
