Ward Of The Vampire (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

I am a fan of Kallysten, from my first introduction to her slightly different than ordinary vampires, and a writing style that just feels like a friend is telling a story. This novella is no different, and introduces us to a new cast of characters that are as enjoyable as they are frustrating.Angelina is a personal assistant to Delilah, a wealthy patroness of the arts. From organizing galas to accomplishing some seriously outrageous tasks her job seems pretty cushy. And Angelina weaves an interesting tale, part fact, part reminiscence and part mystery, we travel with her to a very exclusive party for Morgan Ward, to celebrate his birthday. All that Angelina knows is that her boss, Delilah's brother, and that she was specifically warned to be polite. When we are finally told that Angelina has been compelled, and she cannot leave Ward's mansion, the story gets more interesting as she fights the realization that vampires exist, and yet she isn't afraid of Morgan. Lushy detailed while maintaining some revelations for further installments, this story is both beautifully written and classically Kallysten. Emotional turmoil and clever conversation and banter display the personalities of both main characters, as the story and their connection is tentatively established. Add to that some unique abilities and explanations for compulsion, and the wait for Delilah's return to undo the compulsion begins. With nothing to do but get to know one another. Sexy interactions that vary between fantasy and reality add to the tension in the story and further build the characters as people you want to know. And you will after this introduction to the Ward of the Vampire series. I purchased a copy of this book for my personal library. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility. Novella/Short Story Ratings Book ♥♥ 2 Stars Author ♥♥♥ 3 starsTotal ♥♥ 2.5 starsThis book was okay. I would have rated it higher if I had been able to connect with the characters. Angelina was crazy all I can even remember from the book is the blue invitation or letter that she read. Delilah reminded me of every other “rich” single woman in every other book that I have read. Morgan he was a little bit more likeable but, I failed to enjoy the story and by the time I got to the party, I was on a blah kind of wave I could not pick up and get interested again. I will rate this as a 2 star because I feel that it did not even meet the I liked it category. Usually I want more with novellas with this one I just could not get into it.
