An author I like, but do not think this genre her forte. Not getting into, lots of creepy I-feel-evil-watching me and I-should-not foreshadowing and can almost fell the "jaws" theme in background. Not any characters to get into and not getting into the story. Could be good as series goes along and I am just being impatient during the setup -- but returning to library for next patron on list. Vampires abound in this book...vampires of all types, including the so powerful Master. He is back at full strength and on the hunt. A hunt that starts with wild parties to lure in the innocents and feast. Jessica Fraser finds herself drawn into the Master's schemes in a most unusual way. She is hunting him...but how does she know of his existance and how can she expect to stand a chance against his power. The answer to this lies in an unexpected blast from the past (the very very distant past), in the form of Bryan MacAllister. Who is the man that shows up knowing more than he should at just the right moment? The book got off to great start. We jump right in and meet Jessica and her group of freinds as she is saying good bye to them. She's going to a conference in Transylvania of all places. The action starts here at one of the Master's notorious parties. After this things began to get a little confusing for me. There is much we don't learn about Jessica until at least half way through the book. And what we don't know isn't explained in a very good way...it's just suddenly tossed out there. It left me with a "what the hell is going on" feeling. I actually went back and reread part because I thought I had missed something. Once we have this sudden change in our main character under control, things begin to develop rapidly. They develop...and develop...and develop some more. There were at least three times I thought I was reading the final scene only to encounter a "but wait" moment. One, even two of these is fine to throw a surprise the reader's way, but this ended with a few too many. When the ending finally did come, it seemed very disappointing after all the repeated hype. If the author had worked the ending in about 50 pages sooner, it would have had a fantastic finish. Unfortunately, it just left me feeling a bit let down. The woods have always been full of whispers in Transylvania, of terrors that go back centuries to the legendary Vlad Dracul himself. Ignoring their professor's grave warning - beware those who would prey upon the innocent - several visiting students travel into the forest...and disappear. Now their professor. Bryan McAllister, believes that a dark cult is at work - and that their next gathering will happen in America. When psychologist Jessica Fraser is approached by Bryan for her assistance, she is hesitant. Something about Bryan unnerves Jessica deeply, yet she cannot ignore the incredible pull she feels toward him. Now, as reluctant allies, they unite to seek the truth. The search takes them from the forested mountains to dimly lit clubs in New Orleans' French Quarter, where preversion goes beyond sexual to life-threatening. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Une lueur ecarlate dans l'obscurite d'une nuit glacee. Des ombres menacantes rampant entre les arbres. Et, noyees dans le brouillard, les ruines d'un vieux chateau.

Une apprehension qui grandit encore en elle et que viennent bientot confirmer de terrifiants incidents survenus au coeur de la foret des Carpates. Comme si la foret etait hantee par des creatures malfaisantes. De retour chez elle en Louisiane, Jessica, encore sous le choc de cette etrange experience, fait la connaissance de Bryan McAllister, professeur d'Histoire ancienne. Et lorsque Bryan lui parle de ses recherches sur un culte satanique deja a l'oeuvre en Transylvanie et sur le point d'atteindre les Etats-Unis, l'inquietude ne la quitte plus. Irresistiblement attiree par cet homme qui la destabilise pourtant profondement, Jessica accepte d'aider Bryan a devoiler la verite. Leur quete les entraine des bars confines du Quartier francais de La Nouvelle-Orleans vers des forets obscures, la ou l'on craint de se perdre et de prononcer le mot tant redoute...celui de vampire.A propos de l'auteur: Le nom de Heather Graham sur une couverture est une garantie de lecture intense et captivante , a ecrit le Literary Times.
