Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Gleason makes her stunning debut with this first novel in a new, historically set vampire series. Beneath the glitter of dazzling 19th-century London society lurks a bloodthirsty evil. In the midst of society balls, a young woman is set to make her debut--as a vampire slayer. Original.

Review:

"A promising, enthusiastic beginning to a new paranormal historical series, Gleason's major label debut follows the adventures of a conflicted young vampire hunter in Regency England. Victoria Gardella is a young upper-class lady on the verge of her debut; however, just before her society introduction, she learns that she is the last in a long line of vampire hunters — Venators — and must soon choose whether to embrace her destiny. Her decision is complicated by a reunion with her preadolescent love, Phillip, now marquess of Rockley; her desire for romance doesn't mesh well with her new training schedule, much less with her moonlight patrol duties. Matters are made more difficult by the arrival of the queen of the vampires, Lilith, who seeks a mystical tome that will put a demonic army at her disposal. Though it might seem familiar to fans of Teresa Medeiros's Regency vamp series, Gleason quickly establishes an alluring world all her own. Her Buffyesque lead (Gleason has acknowledged the inspiration) is similarly afflicted, but the change of setting makes an intriguing, witty and addictive twist."

I've heard Gleason's series called a cross between Jane Austen and Buffy the Vampire Slayer; it's a very apt description. I loved the historical setting, the paranormal aspect, and the deep, well-rounded characters.
