Twilight Phantasies

Summary: You can't stop til the last page is turned & then want more!
Review: I began the Maggie Shayne Twilight series with "Born in Twilight" and still have not found all of the other books. 'Twilight Phantasies" was the second book in the series that I could get my hands on. I now know it is the one that started it all. Eric's loneliness is compelling. His lifelong attachment and compassion for Tamara, what ultimately leads to their true love affair, lends a fascinating element to the book. You feel for him as much as you feel for the confused young woman. I ached for Tamara when she unraveled the lies told to her throughout her life and found the truth. It was also interesting to see Jamie's beginnings and though "Born in Twilight" is still my own personal favorite of the two, I rate "Twilight Phantasies" as a keeper. Forever and always, to read over and over again, a keeper is definitely a treasure.

Summary: Well put together vampire tale
Review: I enjoyed Shayne's fresh treatment of the vampire legend. She had great new explanations for vampirism and the romance between the leads worked. They made a great pair. Surprisingly, it was not an especially dark telling of a vampire story and perhaps that made it all the more enjoyable.

Summary: Not Worth Reading
Review: If you like Anita Blake, don't bother with this book. The so-called vampire only drinks blood stolen from a blood bank. Refrigerated and out of a glass, no less. I suppose this is to make him a better, more civilized person. As if stealing blood from people who have serious injuries and might benefit from the blood is better than biting healthy people on the street. If you want your vampire to be a guy who happens to subsist on human blood and who sleeps all day, but is otherwise a really nice guy then maybe this is the story for you. If you want him to be a bit scary and darkly sensual, he ain't here. Aside from that, there's not much in the way of story line or characterization.

Summary: Satisfying vampire romance
Review: Maggie Shayne's _Twilight Phantasies_ is the first in her Wings in the Night series. Eric Marquand, a 200-something year old vampire, saved Tamara Dey's life when she was a child, and left soon after. Twenty years later, Tamara's strange nightmares summon Eric to her once again, entangling them both with the dangerous on-going investigation of the DPI(Department of Paranormal Investigations), who suspects that Eric is a vampire. This is the first vampire romance that I've ever read, but I've read romance and vampire novels, and I think Ms. Shayne does a nice job combining the two.

Summary: super book I couldn't put down
Review: This book has a new twist in romance between a vampire, Eric, and a human Tamera. It was a book I wasn't able to put down, the book was complete on it's own but it left me wanting to read more both more about Eric & Tam, but also more books written by Maggie Shayne. She has diffinatley been added to my must read author list.

Summary: The Leader in Vampire Romances
Review: This is the book that started it all. Maggie Shayne starts the vampire series that involves the DPS. Eric and Tamera are destined lovers. They have to fight for their love against the horrors of the DPS. It makes you want to be them and find a love that lasts for all time. Her characters are believable, heartwarming and intriging. Her whole Twilight series is the BEST. I have read MANY vampire romances and Maggie Shayne beats them all hands down.
