Sunglasses After Dark

Summary: A Gothic Masterpiece
Review: "Sunglasses After Dark" is a book that haunts you days after you finish it. Nancy Collins masterfully takes us into a dark and violent world where things are never what they seem. After reading Anne Rice's books I thought that no one could come even close to her originality when talking about vampires, but this book proved me wrong. It pulls no punches and spares no graphic details. I love that in an author and in a book. Read this book. You won't regret it.

Summary: A modern classic to keep in the library
Review: Although the synopsis as written here is actually the plot line to Nancy A. Collins' book "Wild Blood", "Sunglasses After Dark" is one the best vampire novels I've ever read. Sonja Blue is a very complex and sympathic character in the same manner as LeStat and like the early Anne Rice vampire novels, you find yourself getting mental impressions from the detailed story lines long after reading the book. This is definitely one to keep and read 2 or 3 times.

Summary: Blue gets [mistreated]
Review: How this series remains so widely ignored is beyond me. Perhaps Sonja Blue gets [mistreated] by other books because it predates more current popular series. Start reading it, start loving it. Stop wasting time on newer stuff until you have read this. Love the complexity and originality of her writing. Her charater is three-dimensional, not just colorful adjectives on paper. There is a practicality you will find shared between Nancy's A. Collins' Sonja Blue and Laurell K. Hamiltons' Anita Blake that is refreshing. Although the characters share the job description of vampire hunter, they are very different - one being a vampire and one being human - they each lend a new perspective on the genre.

Summary: Best Vamp Book Ever
Review: I have never been the type who went for reading the adventures of werewolves & vampires, etc., but Nancy Collins Sonya Blue series was able to persuade me otherwise. I first read Sunglasses in college and found that not only did I like it, but could not put the book down. Sonya Blue is definitely nothing like that OTHER well known vampire writer's protagonist, LeWuss, I mean, well, you know who I mean...Sonya Blue is unlike any vampire you'll ever read about. In the first installment, we are introduced to a badass Sonya, and Nancy Collins has a way of making the reader care about this badass. Not only is the story compelling, but if you read the subsequent Sonya Blue books, you'll see that the character development meets and exceeds all expectations. I have read all four novels in the Sonya Blue collection and simply cannot say enough positive things about the series. My favorite book happens to be In the Blood, but the reader would be doing a great disservice to himself not to read the other books.

Summary: Very creative- lady vampire!
Review: NAC has created a wonderfully written book on a vapire woman who was created only to hate her creator. I believe she would annihilate her makeer, had she the chance and skill and power. This is a must have for your personal library! Spooky, scary,and it gets your heart pounding! I also recommend "Eternal Undying Love" by Brett Keane
