I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was great.
Loved the story, loved the setting, loved the execution, the characters and all the details. And it's a shame that this gothic page-turner has such terrible cover and silly title.
Yes, this book is about vampires. No, it has nothing to do with Twilight. And it's not a stereotypical vampire story. Regina Richards created very interesting creatures with their own rules and clans and abilities.
Blood Marriage was filled with a lot of suspense, action, humour, romance (the love wasn't instant) and such an interesting set of characters. I loved all them, they were well-written and just simply wonderful. Elizabeth wasn't an idiotic, self-centered brat, she was a strong, smart and lovable person. She was like a breath of fresh air.
The secondary characters were just as intriguing as the key figures and Dr. Bergen quickly became a favorite of mine.
Oh, Dr. Bergen. What a truly interesting character! He was witty and gentle, there was always a hint of mischief in his eyes. He always smiled, but deep down inside he was sad and broken. I enjoyed every scene with him. Moreover, he had curly hair, and I have a thing for curly hair, haha. It would be great to have a book or a short story with him as a main character, I want to know more about him.
As for the writing style, it was enjoyable. The language was rich, varied and descriptive. It wasn't boring at all.
I wish there was a print edition, I would love to place it on my bookshelf.
Highly recommended.
