Dark Changeling August 20, 2005 I like the idea of vampire's being a alien species. But to be frank in this book the main character, A Doctor, seemed more then just confused about his "taste" for blood. It seemed to go on forever his denial of who he was. Even after meeting someone of his own kind and all the proof that was presented to him. I got tired and bored with his denials and stopped the book many times. I have to admit I didn't enjoy this book as much as I have others by this author.
2.5 Stars February 7, 2005 Plauged by strange cravings and insatiable hungers, Roger Davrell learns that he is anything but normal. Not belonging to one world or the other, he is only half human, half vampire. His differences make it seemingly impossible to find a life or love, though he has the potential to exist for thousands of years. From his vampiric kin he finds no help, at best, from them he finds academic interest, at worst, homicidal enemity. Yet, there is not a total lack of hope.
Demonstrating a versatile writing capability, Ms. Carter pens a book unlike any of her other works. Her take on vampires is quite different from the brooding Carpathians, the more light hearted Argeneau clan, or any other vampire breed you care to name. However, in this, her style tends to rambling and a lack of focus that is a bit off putting.
