Once, when I was young (and that was some time ago), I openly said that I was not a fan of novels in which romance was the leitmotif. Years later, when several such books have passed through my hands, I still know that this literature is not for me.
The color of blood. The first of the first is the sequel to "In the Color of Blood." In the first volume, we meet mostly vampire characters, who, due to their longevity, remain with us in all parts. They are: the beautiful and intelligent Caroline, the fast-moving and handsome Lucas, and the introverted, mysterious, with a big focus on the handsome Roderick Robillard. The last vampire is married to Elizabeth (a human), who dies in the first part. The second part is a story about Barbara and her brother, which takes place in 2005, and we will forever remain in this 21st century.
Elizabeth Town was a very quiet town until this young and obviously very beautiful girl appeared in it. Unexplained disappearances, mysterious murders, and the strange behavior of several residents began. Barbara has gone through her whole life, and her main problem is inappropriate feelings. One day it ended with her brutal rape and the equally bloody death of her tormentor. Later, this turned into love for a man (a vampire), whom she began to love less and more like a brother. To this is added this devilishly handsome brunette, that is, Robillard - theoretically married - and practically looking for another incarnation of his wife Elizabeth, and Caroline, who suddenly assumed the function of patron (something like the vampire aristocracy). Explosive mixture... that would be if it weren't for the fact that there really isn't much going on in the novel besides these love themes.
In addition, the repeated repetition of "Barbara, Barbara, Barbara" does not convince me at all.
The author has focused on unfulfilled love, having werewolves or mysterious vampire prophecies at his disposal, which can certainly be expanded. Even the Patrons seemed like an episodic plot in the characters' heart problems. The book doesn't appeal to me. Of all the three, the second part was definitely the best.
The characters were also written for a "single appearance". Only selfish Angelina, she was so funny that she was remembered and somehow different from the rest. Dialogues? Fortunately, they didn't get numb, but for some reason it doesn't seem to me that teenagers in 2005 don't talk like that...
