Whilst I have always been interested in the characters and ideas within graphic novels, it has been a long time since last I actually read any and therefore it took me a little while to get into the swing of things again and finally be able to relax and simply read it without difficulty.
The story was intriguing and I will look forwards to finding out where it goes if I am fortunate enough to locate a copy of the next few issues. It very much employed several of the more-traditional concepts from Vampire lore and legend and managed to include them in a contemporary setting. Naturally, everything was overly sexualised and all of the young people are portrayed as physically perfect, but Antia herself made up for much of this, as she is far more than the typical "pretty face instead of a personality" character.
Three stars, as it was pretty good, but not incredible!

Interesting, if slight, prequel to Guilty Pleasures. The art is a little too too pretty for my taste, but it seems to match LKH's descriptions fairly well. My biggest shock was the artist's interpretation of Edward. They made him into a boytoy! Bwahahaha! So not believable there.

i understand that there are dozens and dozens of vampire books with female heronines in circulation right now, but this series is different and has been around a lot longer than the craze. this is a long series that you will become addicted to. laurell k hamilton knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and how to write characters you can get attached too and relate too. this a series surprisingly enough that both men and women would enjoy. her earlier books are bloody and more along the lines of detective, sleuth work and are absolutely brilliantly written. her later books are a slightly more heated but calm down again after a few novels. this is a series that will fit in all genres. please read.
