Midnight's Daughter (Dorina Basarab, Dhampir, Book 1) Review
This book is the first in the new Dorina Basarab series, and is based in the world of Cassandra Palmer. I liked how characters I met in the other series show a very different aspect--Particularly in this case, Mercea, who is Dorina's dad. And their history is a stormy one.
The basic plot is that Dorina is a dhampir, half vamp, half human, and doesn't fit in either world. She's a vampire slayer and searching for her missing roommate and best pal. But Mercea shows up and offers to put the weight of the Vampires behind the search...if she does him a little favor and helps to lock up Uncle Dracula, who's escaped from prison.
While Dori is on the hunt for Drac and her roommate, people crawl out of the woodwork to kill her. Fay, vampires, black mages and assorted thugs keep trying to kill her AND the sexy and arrogant vampire her father has saddled her with as babysitter. There is also a war going on as the vampires, light mages, fey, and dark mages are all duking it out. (I haven't read the last two of the Cassie Palmer series, so I don't know how the war started--which I will rectify soon--and that is the only thing that really bugged me about the story, not knowing why they were fighting.)
Enjoyable, lots of action, and I have ordered the sequel. I pretty much read it in one setting.
