Vampire romance written a decade before the genre became popular. It was more of a gothic romance bodice ripper more than today's hip urban fiction vampire books. There were bats, black cats, skeletons, spider webs, creepy butlers, decrepit old plantations, swamps, etc... to make the book a bit different. The ending, however, was so unimaginative and predictable that it brought down my whole opinion of the book.
Great book! Classic vampire.
