Book Reviews of Courting Midnight (Berkley Sensation)

Holly's demon series mixes contemporary themes with a historical background that exudes eroticism in all its magnificence and glory. Don't miss this one... Lucius is one sexy beast. ;)

Hmmmm-set in Regency England, so it's a historical romance, but with vampires (or upyrs, a very imaginative reframing on Holly's part) who can shape shift into wolves. I bought this only to post it onto my pbs bookshelf, because I know there are a lot of fans of paranormal romance out there, but of course I read it first, and I enjoyed it. Well written, with a dry wit and 3 dimensional characters, but a little "too much information" for me in some of the sex scenes, this turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Emma Holly has quite an imagination and can employ the right words to make you see her mental creation. You go, girl!

Not as steamy or exciting as I usually like but it was a good story and had some different insights into what it is to be 'upyre'.

Wow--very steamy! Not my usual type of book but I did enjoy it.

A rather fun romp in Regency times with a powerful, shape-changing upyr. I enjoyed the story and characters. However, in my opinion these are not vampires, at least not in the traditional sense. I think I'd have enjoyed it more had the vampires actually been vampires.

Emma HOlly really does well to describe her characters and build the sexual tension. I love her books and keep them for a repeat read.

Let me preface by saying I am not a huge Emma Holly fan but I have read probably three of her books. Even for me, she gets wayyyyy out there (and I ready Jaid Black so it's tough to offend me). This is a historic erotica, more of a romance line but the hero is pretty alpha if that is what you are looking for. I own this one and I'll probably keep it. I enjoyed the other two in this series as well.

Good read! More historical than I have been reading but an interesting plot. First book of her Upyr series that I have read but will definitely look for more!

Another great book by EH. A recommended read.

i had a little trouble with the propriety of the time period but I kept reading to find out what happened.

Lucius has a great story. I reallylike the Upyr series.

Great read, so far Emma Holly hasn't failed to delight me.

Ok read for a rainy day. Latest book on the Upr series regarding shapeshifters. Not one of Holly's better plots.

Great book

good read.

IF YOU CAN GET THE WHOLE SET TO READ, IT WILL KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES AND PINS AND NEEDLES. A VERY GOOD READ. WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING ELSE, FOR I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THE STORY LINE AWAY.
