Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo Liberty Belle it is not vampire-twighlight style. It is more suspense. Lots of hitorical research and no Ooooh is'nt the shiny guy cute. (before anyone says it I actually love the twilight books but these may as well be different creatures)
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Yeah I didn't think it would be Twilighty, but as a whole I have never found vampires that interesting (shiny or not!) Thanks for the input Sarah, I do like historical stuff and suspense, so it might be worth checking out! I need a new book anyway, I've just finished one (and even though I have about 30 to read on my Kindle none of them are grabbing me right now).

Originally Posted By Labuda Hmmm, I'll have to get that book (The Historian) at some point... I dig vampires and think Twilight would be MUCH better if an ACTUAL author had written the books instead of some idiot who writes like a teenager.
