Relation Toward Books The Vampire's Seduction (Savannah Vampire #1)
When it comes to a wild and seductive nightlife, Savannah has bite.Older than the United States and wealthy beyond his years, playboy William Cuyler Thorne is a vampire with a nice long undead life—one that includes a steady stream of admirers, a consistent supply of rejuvenating blood, and, best of all, a cover as one of Savannah's most prominent pillars of society.
But all good things must end.
Now an ancient enemy has come for William from across the seas. It is his sire, Reedrek, the vampire who created him. And Reedrek will stop at nothing until all that is precious to William—his beautiful mistress, his stable of willing female victims, his glorious estates, and his good-ol'-boy vampire sidekick, Jack—is within his voracious grasp. But William has an arsenal of his own—one that is enhanced by the power of voodoo. And when these two bloodsuckers meet, there will be hell to pay.

This book seemed to start out really slow for me. While I was enjoying the story itself, I just couldn't seem to get invested in the characters in the story, and the way it would switch from Williams point of view to Jack's seemed more of an annoyance. Luckily for me, about halfway through it really picked up. I really started enjoying the characters, the story grew interesting, and I was able to lose myself in the tale. Jack is a hilariously funny good-ole Georgian boy and he had me crackingOk...now on to a new series....I feel so bad, I haven't picked this up since September...it's really good, but life has just sort of taken over!!! Hopefully I'll be able to get it finished in the next few weeks.....although, tomorrow is December 1st...so who knows, it may have to wait til after the holidays are over!!! :( Happy Reading all!!! :)UPDATE: February 3rd, 2010...I had to put it away! I just couldn't get into it...not sure if it was because I found it so slow going...even tho I am
"THE VAMPIRE'S SEDUCTION was a real treat to read. Different from any vampire story I've read lately, it snagged my interest at once and kept me glued to the pages until the end. I can't wait for the story to continue. The characters are totally fresh and immediately likable, which left me yearning to learn more about them and the rest of the story. Pick this one up the first time you see it; I don't think it'll stay long on the shelf. An excellent read!" Lory Martin, Fresh Fiction"I would
In what kind of backwards world do you live in where you legitimately think you can call this book a romance novel? Seriously? Just because people are having sex in a book doesn't mean its a romance.That aside, lets get down to business. 1) William - an overprotective ninny. Not impressed.2) Jack- a "playboy who secretly yearns for a serious relationship" type. Not impressed. 3) Elanor and the "swans" - serious sufferers of underdeveloped female character syndrome. Not impressed.4) Olivia - set
I won't rehash the premise of the book because you can read that for yourself either on the back cover or in the synopsis above. I could not get into this book, hence the 1 star. First, I didn't care for the point-of-view changes. It began with the story jumping between William's perspective and then Jack, then Olivia had to have a say. And the perspective switches happened within chapters, so one chapter could have several different perspectives. Back and forth and back again. I'm not a big fan
Suspenseful without being horrific and sexy without being romantic, this debut adds nothing to the growing pile of vampire fiction except the promise of more to come. Vampire William Cuyler Thorne is a 500-year-old socialite living in contemporary Savannah, Ga. Passing himself off as a new family scion each generation since the Revolutionary War, William has acquired substantial wealth, social stature and a co-conspirator in Eleanor, a high-class madam who supplies women to satiate his blood
This looks like it's going to be a great series. I love the way it switches from two POVs; William's and Jack's. More than that would be confusing, but two is just right, allowing us a greater range of events and emotions. William and Jack's creator/child relationship is frustrating. I hate the way William seems to not care that Jack is feeling unwanted and useless, but that leads to their conflicts later in the story. The villain: Reedrek does a great job of trying to tear them apart. His
