Somia's Reviews > Prince of Midnight

I loved the sound of this, a story/romance framed around Prince Radek (Dracula’s brother), who has dark, ancient powers. The Prince is positioned as a dangerous being, one that entrances journalist Juliet Jochs, who has come for a career making story. All of this had me keen to read.

I was expecting something sensuous and rich, a Prince who was deliciously dangerous and a heroine with fire, but that didn't happen, neither character drew me in – I couldn’t connect with them. Plus, the chemistry between the characters for me was lacking. I also found that whilst the writing wasn’t bad, it didn’t weave a spell where time fell away and I became lost, even fleetingly, in the characters and narrative. This led to some skim reading, but it also means, sadly, that I barely remember what I read.
