Customer Reviews
UNIQUE TWIST ON THE MARQUIS DE SADE LEGACY
Fans of Mitchell's first novel DRAWN TO THE GRAVE are definitly in for a shock with this one. Part vampire tale, part S&M saga, this story deals with the descendants of the Marquis de Sade. Even the most ardent vampire fans may be shocked by some of the intense bondage and torture scenes. Not as spooky as DRAWN, but a very original take on the Marquis de Sade, with some obscure vampiric night zombies tossed in for good measure. Mitchell has managed to once again pull off an original novel.....though maybe a bit too perverse for your average horror fan.
Fascinating opportunity squandered!
This premise really had promise. The concept of the Marquis de Sade being "alive", forever walking the earth, was chilling and horrifying. Which crimes would he commit in this modern time? What would his view of our society be? However, the author didn't explore this fascinating aspect of the story. Instead, we were treated to some kinda weak (and not at all sexy) S & M that provided little insight into the characters and that didn't seem to DRIVE the story as much as BE the story. This wasn't enough to keep me riveted. I finished it, but the book is already in the "to be donated" pile. A disappointment.
Interesting Characters!
Although the book was filled with interesting characters, it needed more ...ummm... something. I do not know what, but it lacked something. I could not put the book down and I did not want it to end. The characters intrigued me, but it comes to a closing way too fast. Yes, that was it... the end ... just came too abruptly. It was building up then THE END! It left me wanting MORE!
