Sisters of the Night: The Soul of an Angel

Am reading the first and second books in this trilogy for about the third time. They both get better with every read. When will the third one be out? I anxiously await it. Quinn Yarbro looks at vampirism from a different angle than Ann Rice. Excellent read no matter how many times you read them.

Fenice is the second virgin that Dracula decides to seduce and bring back to his castle for companionship or maybe for the amusement that the rivalry between her and the first virgin Kelene produces. Fenice having been brought up as a wealthy young maid has had a different background than Kelene, but after the initial battles for Draculas favor, Kelene uses her superior mind to form a truce with Kelene. Very good book. Can't wait for number three. Despite the need for feeding, for blood, a true rivalry and believable relationships ring true.

This novel is a tale of great adventure, romance and horror that speaks to women's rights and women's hearts. Like the first in the series I couldn't put it down until the last page at 4AM. The description of life in Venice was so vivid I could hear the water lapping. I highly recommend this book and series and can't wait for number three.

The second one in the trilogy. I loved it, drank the words like wine, but I have to admit, I liked the first one better. "The Angry Angel" had a level of fierceful "strenght" that this book does not reach. The detailed descriptions are heavenly, while reading I was there... Nothing but the best for someone who can put stories like these on paper.. Anxiously looking forward to the third book.. M.

By 1572 in Venice, wealthy Fenice Zucchar is weary of her life in a gilded cage. She yearns for excitement and will do anything to escape the ennui of her existence. Fenice stows on board a ship, but is soon caught. The noblewoman is ignominiously dumped in Varna. The residents of Varna trust no one, especially strangers. Rumors abound that a demon has surfaced, drinking the blood of his victims every night. Dracula sees Fenice as his latest concubine. He seduces her with a chance for the unfettered freedom she covets. Unable to resist his call, Fenice follows Varna back to his castle. However, already residing there is a dangerous female, who could be Fenice's sister of the night or her killer. THE SOUL OF AN ANGEL, the second novel in Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's trilogy on Count Dracula's three brides, is a superb look into the secondary characters from Stoker's classic. The story line is weird, but intriguing as Fenice fights for more than just survival. She battles to gain a place in Dracula's heart. The relationships between the three protagonists who make up this supernatural triangle seem so real that readers will feel it must be a genuine account in spite of the blood-sucking regimen. After this tasty morsel and the previous tale (THE ANGRY ANGEL), readers will impatiently wait for the release of the third bride's tale.Harriet Klausner
