Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Too many points of view and characters I didn't care much about or understand, combined with a writing style that didn't really appeal to me, amounted to a two star rating. I didn't hate it, and I did finish the book, but I didn't like it enough to continue with the series. The ideas are interesting, but I think I'm done with Heather and Dante. ( ) A Rush of Wings 3 Stars Much darker and grittier than my usual urban fantasy fare. The world building is original and compelling, the characters intense and the story engrossing. Nevertheless, I cannot say that I enjoyed the book - it was simply too strange. The story revolves around Dante, a vampire/rock star, and the obsession that every single character, whether good or evil, has with him. As someone who finds this type of hero-worship anathema, it was difficult to identify with any of the characters not even the heroine, a no-nonsense FBI agent (my favorite type). The serial killer plot is gripping at first. Unfortunately, it is soon put on the back-burner in favor of the mythology and the above mentioned preoccupation with Dante and his tortured past. While the former is well-develeoped and fascinating, the latter is undermined by Dante's amnesia, which results in the reader becoming distanced from the horrific events of his childhood. As a fan of the gothic and the macabre, the book has potential. However, even I found it a tad too sadistic and disturbing. Not sure if I will continue with the series. The main characters in this book drew me in from the start. They have great on-paper chemistry, and tell a very captivating story together. The male lead is raw and gritty, but his female counterpart shows him that he has a good center. The whole series teaches you to look past your history and strive to be the person you want to be, regardless of what's expected of you. Grab the whole series! You won't regret it.

HIS NAME IS DANTE. Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock band Inferno. Rumored owner of the hot New Orleans nightspot Club Hell. Born of the Blood, then broken by an evil beyond imagination. HIS PAST IS A MYSTERY. F.B.I. Special Agent Heather Wallace has been tracking a sadistic serial murderer known as the Cross Country Killer, and the trail has led her to New Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But the dangerously attractive musician not only resists her investigation, he claims to be "nightkind": in other words, a vampire. Digging into his past for answers reveals little. A juvenile record a mile long. No social security number. No known birth date. In and out of foster homes for most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien DeNoir, who appears to guard mysteries of his own. HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS. What Heather does know about Dante is that something links him to the killer -- and she's pretty sure that link makes him the CCK's next target. Heather must unravel the truth about this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man -- who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire -- in order to finally bring a killer to justice. But Dante's past holds a shocking, dangerous secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from his destiny.... No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
