Getting to the "heart" of the matter involves Gwen restoring the reputation of her deceased father who fell from grace as a newspaper reporter following the same story. She also encounters a dark, mysterious man Dorian Gray who can help her navigate the territo...more
"Dark of the Moon" is the second installment of Susan Krinard's Vampire/Werewolf trilogy. This hard-hitting and gritty story was filled with romance, danger, and mystery from cover to cover!
Based in the roaring twenties, the story picks up at the end of book one, and details the now former vampire enforcer Dorian Black trying to fight his personal demons and find peace after the life he had led. One night he meets aspiring news reporter Gwen Murphy while she is investig...more

It's a great premise--vampires in 1920s New York--but Krinard got a bit lost in the telling, adding too many characters and too many twists until the reader is forced to lose interest in either halfway through. To Krinard's credit, though, the premise is far more interesting than most of the paranormal romances on the market now and should be carried through in a series, although with far fewer characters and plot cliches.
I don't usually say this about most books, but until the story picked up towards the end, I was left with a 'meh' feeling. It was good, but I could put it down and not think about it at all even though the small twists were good. I did like how the term vampire didn't show up too often except with the humans while they themselves called themselves 'strigoi.'
The book was okay it did drag alot. The relationship between Dorian and Gwen happens way to fast. Their relationship was difficult and never coming together until the last five pages.
really cool, w/only a few drawbacks. Dorian kinda got on my nerves a bit! The ending was awesome though!

Fizzled about 1/4 before the end. Just wasn't going anywhere... so I moved on.
