One And Done...

I wanted to like this book. However, the characterization...

The misunderstood Saint-Germaine is too perfectly urbane, witty, and smug.

Sebastien the Satanist is simply too hissably evil for belief. The malignant drivel that passed for dialogue which spewed from his mouth made my eyes roll at an alarming rate. Why, oh why would anyone hang around with - or even work for - someone as evil as Sebastien? Oh, right. No one would because he's a condescending prick that just might break your kneecaps for no good reason whatsoever. Bleh.

Madeleine, for the era when the story takes place, begins as a relatively strong female character but that falls by the wayside come the denouement.

The rest of the characters are boringly rendered caricatures. Gervaise was especially irritating given his nonsensical behavior.

Needless to say, I won't be continuing the series.
