Lady Jane, Vampire: a WarSpell series #1
WarSpell: The Vampiress of Londinium
Lady Jane Alexander should be a monster with no control at all over its desires. A blood-sucking corpse, animated by pure evil. But The Merge went both ways. Now Sir William Deforest has the memories of Bill Goldman, a school teacher who played WarSpell with his friends, and those memories tell him that Lady Jane Alexander may still be Lady Jane. Suffering under a terrible curse, but still Lady Jane. Sir William's certainty in the righteousness of his and his friend Alen von Helsing's cause as vampire hunters is challenged by the knowledge The Merge brought, but that's nothing to what it did to Jane Alexander. In a moment she went from a very young vampire living on the blood of rats in the sewers of Paris into a moderately healthy young woman who knew that she needed to eat and who could once again feel her body as her body. All because she Merged with Alice Blake, a sixty-two-year-old nurse who had read the Vampyre Compendium IV cover to cover. As she remembered her fellow gamers' casual dismissal of the fact that she was still alive, Jane became one ticked-off vampire. She was going back to Londinium to have words with Sir William and Alen van Helsing. Words, and maybe a snack.

A Great Addition to Warspell Universe
Another great collaboration by the writing team of Huff and Goodlett. Here we pick up the story of two Merged people, primarily from the viewpoint of their otherworld POV. There are also interludes on the Merge world showing what people on our side of the Universe divide are doing in the weeks and months following the merge event, but these are reflections on how the merge affected them in our world rather than main POV characters. Highly recmmended!

I have never had any interest in reading vampire books, nor have I played any roll playing games. This book will not change that. I did read it because I have read a number of other books by Huff and Goodlett (I will continue to do so) and found them entertaining. This book presented a number of viewpoints and kept me interested. CMac

Interesting
Merge series. Persons from steampunk magical world and here and now mix memories of our people have played the right dungeon and dragons type game. When a new vampire and a middle aged nurse merge the vampiress is partially cured and smarter.

A good follow up.
This was a good follow up to Warspell: The Merge. Building on the premise introduced in that book we get to follow a new set of characters in a Steampunk London setting. I highly recommend this book.

Steampunk, vampires, and alternate timelines, oh my!
Good solid fun. Volume 2 of what I hope is a long series.
Internally consistent,which is unusual in fantasy.
LOTS of action, interesting characters.

Felt incomplete. I didn't enjoy this one as well as the last one. Don't know why. It just felt incomplete. The story just kind of ended with no real resolution. Hopefully that will be rectified in future books, but who knows.

What a crew! Stakes and Holy water in hand
I very much enjoyed this yarn. The non-stop action, the excitement of a valiant quest to fight pure evil. The dread of not knowing how it ends. I'm on to the next novel with high hopes.

This was a fun two book series. My only real complaint is the ending of the second book felt rushed and very open ended.

Action! What a story. The best Vamp story since interview.
I binged read this tail and forgot to cook dinner, boy was I in trouble. This was a great romp from casket to sewers. Rushing to the next book.
