Dark Secret was rather enjoyable, Highland Vampire moved to fast, and as another reviewer put it, was insipid. I really liked Never Been Bitten and could definitely see myself getting into the series.

It was ok. The story "highland vampire" was insipid. "Never been bitten" was good though so not a total loss. "Dark secret" was ok.

The first story was interesting. the phonetic use of the Scottish accent got “verra” annoying after a while. I am not a fan, but it may not bother you. It could be a good series, but I am not all that inspired to find out. It kind of reminded me of Christine Feehan’s work.The second story moved ridiculously fast. Way to much information and not enough development of characters. But at least the Scottish accent was toned down. I don’t see myself reading anything from this author. And last but in no way least, the third story is my favorite. It takes place in England so although our vampire is technically Scottish there are no Brogues to speak of. Quick, witty, and silly this is definitely a series I can see myself getting into. It had a definite Alexia Tarabotti feel to it, and since Gail Carriger has ended that series this may just be able to fill that hole for me.
