[Nicole/Books Complete Me · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!! This book is better than the first! The first book, we saw everything through Laura's eyes. This time, we see through Linda's eyes. And boy, I was harsh on her in the first book!! Both sisters seem to be thinking the same things about themselves, but not realizing the other one is on that same track.

There's plenty of action and twists in Lament. Those who have read Restraint, will find that very little has happened between the books, since Lament starts where Restraint left off. I love that about series in general, where you don't need a chapter explaning things that may have happened.

If you want a different view on vampires, or want to go into the past, this series is a good read!!

I love this author! I read this book in one day. I couldn't stop! This book starts up where Restraint leaves off, but it is told from Linda's point of view. Reading the first one, I hated Linda. She was too superficial, but in this one, she is struggling with her identity and sanity. I loved the depth of character and the twists and turns of the plot. Recommend to anyone who likes Victorian era vampire novels.

Loved it! This one had more action, and it took off where the first one ended. I loved to see a different side of Linda's character. I love Phillip as the villain. He is cruel and toys with her which adds to the drama. I could feel her torment and was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Really great book.

If you like the Victorian era, and classic vampires(Dracula), you may enjoy the Restraint Novels, Restraint and Lament. I loved reading them and look forward to her third one Malcontent.
