A Dozen Black Roses

Great book, I rate it at the top of all the books written by Nancy Collins (with Sunglasses after dark and Angles on Fire). I enjoyed the story line revolving around the battle for "Dead Town" and the gang/vampire warfare. The construction of the characters was very well conceived and excitiong to read. Again, a great book....

This book kicked some serious ass!! Loved it from cover to cover, and didn't want it to end. Very graphic which makes it all the better. Had kind of a dark "The Crow" kind of aura about it. Would highly recomend it to anyone interested in the macabre, vampires, or just a goth chick killing vampires and doing a damn good job of it!

Excellent story and plot. Sonja's tale is fast paced and very intriguing. Her actions and emotions narrate the opposiong struggle of her human/vampire side which makes her a very interesting and sexy character. The story chills the human mind completely, and to say the least, it resembles a chaotic and feasome society that may one day exist. Fear is the key. Nancy Collins did a terrific job on this one. I still haven't been able to pass a whole day without imagining Deadtown, Sonja, and her unique attitude. She reminds me of a vampire hunter named "D", only Sonja is tougher and much more charismatic

I thought I would have difficulty with this latest Sonja Blue story, because I have no idea what World of Darkness is; but I had no trouble at all getting into this novel. It was a great read with really evil bad guys and an anti-heroine that is just as bad as ever. And Nancy Collins has written it so that I didn't feel as if I was missing anything from my lack of "World of Darkness" knowledge. This is how a horror novel should be, and I would love to see a Sonja Blue movie in the near future.

I really enjoyed this book. There is a new female hero of a different kind. Sonia reminds me of Anita from Laurel Hamilton's books. Anxiously awaiting a new installment from this writer about Sonia Blue vampire/vampire hunter.
