Book Review of The Rest Falls Away (Gardella Vampire Chronicles, Bk 1)

The Rest Falls Away (Gardella Vampire Chronicles, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


As a huge fan of vampire stories and a lover of Regency romances, I was very excited to read this book. Unfortunately, it is totally unbelieveable both as a Regency and a paranormal romance. The author seems to have no understanding of the era in which the book is set, and creates a nonsensical backstory for both Vampires and Venators (her version of Whedon's Slayers). The main heroine, Victoria, is wooden and the romance that is the center of the story comes to a manipulative and unsatisfying conclusion. This book is a huge disappointment on every possible level.
