Summary: a sane look at vampires
Review: "traveling with the dead" is unquestionably one of the most sober books i've read on the vampire myth (or are they real?) i especially appreciated the effort to explain in medical terms (at least those available in lydia asher's time) the physiology of vampires, why they're averse to garlic and hawthorn and silver and mirrors, and what they're not averse to. now i know better than to arm myself with only a crucifix - unless it's made of largely unalloyed silver!

Summary: Explorations in the nature of Love...
Review: As soon as I read this book, I fell in love with it, fell in love with Ysirdo. And I haven't even read the one before this! It inspired me to write my own book, which also inspired me to want to write movies!

Summary: Mesmerizing, hypnotic, tasty, delicious, exciting adventure!
Review: Even better than the first. I enjoyed it tremendously. This book put a glamour over me. I was as drawn to continue reading its pages as Lydia was drawn to Ysidro or James to Anthea. It was heartbreaking, terrifying, enthralling, exciting, interesting, creative. Reading this book was thoroughly satisfying. I recommend it highly to anyone who enjoys vampire lore or vampire fiction. Hambly's is a class unto itself, so unique.

Summary: Slowly paced, but satisfying
Review: I haven't yet read _Those Who Hunt The Night_ , despite reccomendations, but when I found this book I snatched it up. Despite what I found to be a slow pace, which sometimes made me flip pages impatiently, I did enjoy the character development. The ending more than repays any patience you may expend. A good, deep read which I predict may get better upon a second readthrough.

Summary: Dark temptations
Review: I picked up Barbara Hambly's vampire novels in a fit of boredom, and was unable to put them down. They are dark and rich as a Black Forest cake. The characters, human and inhuman, are enticingly complex and fascinating. Once again, professor and ex-spy James Asher and his obsessively scholarly bride are swept into the intrigues of the vampires. Dark secrets unfold as Asher tracks the ruthless agent Karolyi and the world-weary vampire Earl of Ernchester -- not realizing that his wife has enlisted the aid of the oldest and most dangerous of the London vampires to rescue him from the trap into which he is stumbling unaware. Alliances shift among the living and the dead, and through this tangle Lydia Asher and her inhuman companion must weave their way and find their peace. And as James draws closer to the secret of the Deathless Lord, he finds his only way out is through the deadliest path of all. Try, if you can, to read each novel in one sitting -- alone.

Summary: I love Barbara Hambly, but this was really dull.
Review: I read the first book in this series and liked it well enough, but with this one, I just didn't care about anything that was going on in the story. The parts with Lydia Asher were slightly interesting, but I just skipped over most of the James sections. Don't bother.

Summary: lydia asher is the star in this book!!!!
Review: I wanted to skip over the james asher parts and go straight to the parts with lydia. and the third time I read the book I did! This is an amazing book that I would recomend to any of my friends, I know that sounded tacky, but i really think this is a great vampire book. Ysidro was quite interesting, and i copied down all the poetry (which was exquisite!!!)
