The Last of the Red-Hot Vampires Reviews
In fact, if I were her friend I would have told her to find someone else to vacation with instead of making my vacation a pedant rave fest. Katie MacAlister has often had me laughing out loud and really enjoying her storylines and her characters; however, she has missed the mark with this book. Take out all of the stupid denial and you probably will find a short story which could have been better served by its inclusion in an anthology. My feeling is that this is what my highschool teacher labeled as a "potboiler" which the author churned out in order to make a deadline while working on a better book. I find that if I can't enjoy the main character within the first few pages of the book, I have a very hard time continuing reading the book. I got as far as page 75 and still couldn't find a reason anyone would like this woman. The main character, Portia is not likeable.

"Physicist Portia Harding's life is grounded in facts. New Portia is walking around with a literal cloud over her head and a heart-stoppingly handsome maniac trying to kidnap her. He's a nephilim - the son of an angel - whoneeds Portia's help to change his fate. And the reason is. But this one, nothing of the sort. So fans of paranormal mysteries/romance, and of course fans of Katie, go ahead and buy this book and enjoy it :) But again. If you are a type of a reader that pays immense attention to every detail concerning, for example, the historical parts of the story or any other descriptive flaws of the surroundings/characters etc., than I would definitely advise you to stay away.
the story is very interesting, amusing and engaging. There is nothing that can't be explained by logic and science. Even though I found this book very entertaining and amusing, I was very close to giving it 4 stars. Most of the characters are supernatural beings, there is quite a lot of "traveling" between worlds and of course there is romance. This books is just pure fun and light entertainment. The first 4 books in Katie MacAlister's Paranormals (A Girl's Guide To Vampires", "Sex and the Single Vampire", "Sex, Lies, And Vampires", "Even Vampires Get The Blues") are absolutely fantastic and actually about vampires. But Theondre North is no run-of-the-mill lunatic.
I was so bored at reading this book. i couldn't wait for it to be over with. for once i was hoping something would distract me. usually i can blow thru a book and don't like to be bothered while I was reading.
They're lots of fun, quick reads and the characters are pretty well developed and likable. Sorry Katie - this wasn't one of your stronger efforts. There are better options out there for the time invested. I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend it. It's not that the characters in this book weren't likable, just not that interesting. The story was weak compared to the others by this author. I'm a big fan of the Ashling books.
