Sex, Lies, and Vampires ReviewKatie MacAlister's Dark One series are either a gently mocking tribute to or an affectionate spoof of the paranormal romances of Christine Feehan. Since I've never developed a taste for Ms. Feehan's work, I'm not sure which. Either way, I like what MacAlister does. Her stories are an appealing blend of romantic comedy and adventure. The brooding never gets too serious, and the tragedy never gets to heavy, not even when in summary it sounds like it should be devastating stuff.
This novel is one of a piece with the rest of the series, though perhaps not the best entry in it. Nell Harris is a spunky, spicy heroine, marked by an earlier failure but not--you know--overly bummed out about it. Her tormented soulmate may wallow in thoughts of his own depravity, but the novel does not. Like Nell, the story seems more concerned with helping him get over his horror than inviting us to share it.
To me, there are two noteworthy shortcomings in this novel. First, the development of Nell as a character is a little shallow. We know what she does for a living, but that's about the extent I remember of her backstory, 10 minutes after finishing the book. She's fun and funny, but sometimes MacAlister seems to sacrifice a little more depth and detail for the sake of a one-liner than she needs to. Second, there is a certain redundancy of style and plot to this story to which serial fiction is prone. If you've read MacAlister, you've got a pretty clear idea where the story is going from soon after the start. Connecting the dots to the happy ending is not that hard. And the minorly-handicapped-paranormal-female-lead of this novel is not really that dissimilar from the minorly-handicapped-paranormal-female-lead of MacAlister's last.
But, really, I don't pick up these kinds of novels for their plot twists. I pick them up to delight me and to charm me, and _Sex, Lies and Vampires_ proved very effective at doing that. Nell Harris may not stand out as the most memorable heroine of all time (or even of MacAlister's library), but I enjoyed the time I spent with her. And that's enough reason for me to recommend this book.Sex, Lies, and Vampires Overview
