[Seraph7]

Now, where have I read this story before? Oh yes, Insatiable. Ms West seems to have committed the cardinal sin of all prolific writers, cannibalising their own story lines, cutting and pasting some passages and then tweaking them here and there in the hopes of covering their tracks. Read Instatiable ( Witches of the Big Easy 01 ) and you'll see what I mean. Chapter 2 for said novel reads remarkably similar to the beginning of Dead Reckoning give or take a 100 years difference. You may substitute Master Vampire Dominic with Master Vampire Julian Montague, sickly vampire slayer Shawn Maples with sickly vampire slayer Valen Beauchamp, Tuberculosis with Melanoma and so on and so forth. Even the location seems familiar. This kind of lazy authoring does a disservice to loyal readers who pay good money for Ms. West's stories. Shame.
