It&#39;s a fun blend of mystery and fantasy, with a dash of romance. I&#39;d be curious to hear what you think!Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-58355194802224702612010-02-11T02:29:56.038-05:002010-02-11T02:29:56.038-05:00I could get into it, but here is the big question, are vampires and all the other supernatural stuff part of everyday life in this book or hidden like in the Gardella series??Virginia Galhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15884790155886155406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-1059536666000535122010-02-10T14:55:37.850-05:002010-02-10T14:55:37.850-05:00I must admit that this show is one of my guilty pleasures! I have only seen it once, but was very fun. I haven&#39;t read the books though.marielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00153519657364894012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-18828470325688778052010-02-10T08:45:29.583-05:002010-02-10T08:45:29.583-05:00Ladytink - It&#39;s funny how our images of things that we read can totally connect or clash with a dramatization of the same thing. I agree - I like to have one a bit fuzzy in my mind before moving on to the other. I&#39;ll be interested to hear how your experience changes (or doesn&#39;t) if you try them again.Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-32811743679963781492010-02-10T07:14:10.788-05:002010-02-10T07:14:10.788-05:00I think it&#39;s been long enough that I could read these without being overly influenced by the TV show. I really loved it so I had too many issues with what I was able to get through of the first book.Ladytink_534http://www.blogger.com/profile/14317480621483829078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-13277929903458903212010-02-09T16:03:09.741-05:002010-02-09T16:03:09.741-05:00Fyrefly - I loved that one, too. She is a versatile writer and tries all kinds of things. I think it&#39;s her characters and sense of humor that keep things so consistently enjoyable for me. Hope you&#39;ll have time to give this series a try!<br /><br />Heather - I&#39;ll be looking forward to hearing what you think when you get around to reading them.Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-58693356534036731962010-02-09T14:18:07.845-05:002010-02-09T14:18:07.845-05:00I&#39;ve bought a few of her books, but haven&#39;t read them yet.

These sound pretty different, but equally fun - I&#39;ll keep my eye out for them!Fyreflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10267651786697866292noreply@blogger.com
