Rating: 4 stars
Summary: suspence from cover to cover
Review: Forever Knight is my all time favorite vampire show, and Nigel Bennett my hero. I was delighted when I found out about the book he and Ms. Elrod had written I bought it and read it with gusto! When I read Keeper of the King, the sequence of events flowed smoothly, just the right number of characters as not to be confusing and the best part a wide open ending so more books please..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I "Luved" it
Review: I think anyone who likes Forever Knight and Nigel Bennet should read this book, It`s a new way to look at Vampires, especialy one who "doesn`t" like to fly.

Your faithful cousin,
Nicholah.

Summary: captivating
Review: I was absolutely captivated by this novel. I didn't expect to think much of it, but in fact it was amazing. I received it Monday and had it devoured by Wednesday.
The goddess elements and mythology used were very accurate. I enjoyed the descriptive quality and word usage. It flowed very well. I like to describe the book as James Bond meets Anne Rice. An enjoyable fun read!

Summary: What happened?
Review: I'm a fan of Nigel Bennett--when he's on TV--and a big fan of P. N. Elrod's--except for this book. The plot elements are so disparate that it's hard to believe that even Elrod could make a good vampire novel out of them; it ranges from Celtic mysticism to Camelot to some wierd tribute to I Heard the Owl Call My Name to modern-day Toronto. The small portions set in Kingcome Inlet are so bad it's embarassing; the rest of the book is so far below Ms. Elrod's usual fine writing that I'm tempted to blame it on Mr. Bennett. But a tight deadline and loose editing are likely the real culprits.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: He's not Jack Fleming
Review: I've enjoyed the Jack Fleming series and Jonathan Barrett stories. I like the way her heros just happen to be vampires. This book she didn't stay true to the way she has written her other vampires, it felt more disjointed. I would have liked more history of the characters of Sabra and her knight. Ms. Elrod's characters usually flow better, I may have liked it better if I wasn't comparing to her other books.

Summary: Please don't bother.
Review: If you're a die-hard FK or Elrod completist/collector, then by all means buy the book. But if you're looking for interesting characters, compelling plot, or a decent book, don't bother. Dull protagonist, utterly annoying and tiresome villain, gratuitous sex scenes, and a let-down ending did not add to a happy time for this reader. Definitely not what I expected of such renowned folks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just like Mary Poppins--Practically perfect in every way
Review: It was spectacular. An interesting twist on the vampire legend, one that gives definite origins to the characters. Sensuality is in a vampire's nature, and there is no dearth of that in this book. Also, if you want some pure ear-candy, check the audiobook. Basically, the characters are well-developed, but with room for more complexities to be added on, and an air of mystery surrounding the characters that meks you wonder where all they've been and what all they've done.

Rating: 0 stars
Summary: Team work!
Review: It's quite wonderful to see that the reviews for KEEPER OF THE KING have been so happily positive. Nigel and I care very deeply about our work and the payoff comes when someone takes the time to write in their applause. We really do appreciate it.

And to answer the most FAQ: Yes, Nigel really DID write his half of the book! And he did very well the first time out the gate. He's got a rare talent for steaming up those love scenes. Woof!

As for the second FAQ: We ARE hard at work on the next book in the series, HIS FATHER'S SON. Our schedules are terribly busy these nights, but we're working as fast as we can manage and really appreciate your patience.

Cheers to all!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Real Page Turner for begining to end
Review: Move over Anne Rice, here comes Nigel. :-) I just finished reading Keeper of the King and I loved it. You feel as if you are right there taking part in the action. WOW! I have to agree with P.N. Elrod about Nigel's special talent with the love scenes, he's good. I look forward to the next book.
