Summary: Book Three of a Great Vampire Series!
Review: This book was great, but the two of the characters, Jimmy and Ellie, were so annoying after a while. Jimmy is such a cry-baby and Ellie is so fake. She's a typical "I could do no wrong and I'm such and angel, but I'm really a total slut." By the end of the book, I was wishing Mikal would do mankind a favor and do them both in.

Summary: I wish this wasn't the end
Review: Well, I wouldn't give this book five stars, more like 4 and half, but since that isn't offered i decided to round up. I was thoroughly taken with this trilogy. When I first read Crimson Kisses, I couldn't decide if I should like Simon or hate him. But like Meghann, I was powerless against him and found myself desiring his character more and more. In Crimson Shadows Simon and Meghann are reunited along with their daughter Elizabeth to do battle against their estranged son Mikhal. Unfortunately, not much is learned about Mikhal from his prespective which leaves much to be desired in terms of understanding how his mind works. However, of what is told, Mikhal is evil itself with no conscience. And the atrocities of the final scenes of the book should cast no doubt on who is the antagonist of the book. But throughout the story are glimpses into the bond between Meghann and Simon and the powerful love they have for each other. I absolutely love the possession Simon has over Meghann and her sexual response to her mate. I only wish this wasn't the end to a radically different kind of vampire story. The violence Trisha Baker brings to life in her stories, I think, truely reflect the violence that is being a vampire. Please keep on writing, I thirst for more!

Summary: Nice wrap-up
Review: While I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first two, I thought it was a nice way to tie up the trilogy. I did feel the ending was too rushed and would have liked another scene in the last chapter, to show Simon's remorse. It wasn't the story I expected, and I haven't decided if that's a good or bad thing. In the end, I felt Mikal came across as a bit too...pathetic...to be the villain of the piece. When you have an antagonist/protagonist as strongly portrayed as Simon Baldevar, he overshadows the other "bad guys".
