Sonja Nitschke's Review of Winter’s Mercenary

Last updated: July 19, 2008

A different type of vampire

Once upon a time, vampires were monsters.

Now, they are beautiful "people" who, much like Romeo and Juliet, frequently find themselves falling in love with their dessert and, once they find themselves in such a predicament, begin to loathe their monster nature where all and sundry are invited to their own special little angst ‘n’ pity party.

The whole theme is a bit old, and, honestly, I wasn’t expecting anything different when I began to read Winter’s Mercenary.

I was wrong.

I found a smart ass vampire who likes what he does.  Who doesn’t angst and moan, and doesn’t mind throwing the occasional fire ball. 

And, above all, it was entertaining.  The writing made me smile more than once.  Sometimes the prose could use a bit of a polish, but overall it’s pleasing to read.  The plot continues to thicken and I am always looking forward to what happens next.

It’s popcorn lit — delicious and entertaining.
