Fooled by the cheesy cover and and a summary suggesting a kind of romance vampire novel, I was surprised by the brutality and horror presented in this book.
My first impression: I appreciated the relatively large eye-friendly printing of this mass market pb, which are usually crammed with tiny letters and almost non-existent line spacing. I got the impression the publishers wanted to make "more" of the novel than there is. But as it turns out, the comparatively short length of this novel works quite well to keep up tension and pace of the story.
So what we got here is a nice little vampire horror story with a twist - a blind widow revisited by her recently deceased husband, now turned into an evil vampire. The origin of the vampires is explained by a curse resting on the neighboring family. Now Patty has to choose between joining hubby in immortality and regaining her eysight, or staying human and "doing the right thing". Supported by her best and closest friend, her dog Montague, and the simple-minded son of the neigbors, she accepts the life-or-death challenge.
Though I really enjoyed the story, I can only rate it average. First, several passages followed each other with abrupt transition which disturbed an otherwise smooth reading. The writing was mostly ok, but sometimes I got the impression the author wanted to explain something too suddenly and did not take his time to connect it to the previously written scene. Second, the explanation of the family curse by Chris' father: with his almost fanatic rantings about 'too much love', sin and the afterlife they exaggerated the backwoods image of that family. It was just too much for my personal liking.
