Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A romantic vampire tale set in 19th century England
Review: Darkness describes the relationship between the alluring vampire Contessa di Rospo and the human Dr. Andrew Quimby. The story is much more than a romance. The carefully developed characters grapple with deep issues: the purpose of life, the meaning of true love, issues of social inequality. Of the multiple villians, Carlo is the most memorable. While the main plot is based on a typical "whodunit" formula, the subplots and characterization keep the reader engaged in the story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Gotho Read
Review: I was impressed with this book set in the 1800s. Probably one of the best vampire novels I have read set in the late 1800s. The book was very detailed without making you fall asleep. It was also very romantic and I loved the mood of the story.

I definitely would suggest reading this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic
Review: It's one of the best books I've ever read...actually THE BEST one yet!!!I simply love this book as soon as I started reading I couldn't just wouldn't put it down!When I finished it I wished that Sam Siciliano would make a sequel to this book!WOW!!!This book is so brilliant.La Contessa di Rospo is my favorite character.In the end I cried 'cause it had a dramatic ending yes but I will not tell if it was happy or sad you'll have to read it to find out.(hehehe)But if Sam Siciliano did make a sequel do tell me please do tell and if he will and does tell me.P>Thanx

Summary: Impressive
Review: Lately I hadn't read any good vampire novels until i came across this one in particuliar. It was well detailed and plotted out. Not just a saffy romance but also a turned series. Once I started reading I couldn't possibly stop. Sam Siciliano has just earned herself a new fan.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Vampire Tale
Review: This vampire tale in particular is different from the others you would read from Anne Rice. It focuses on what love really is and how one can change in such a long period of time. The relationship between Andrew and Contessa is real and not one of those superficial tales you would see in a teen drama. It's probably one of the most gothic tales I've read in a long time and goes into deep description when it comes down to the time of era.
