![]() Victoria finds herself wanting to respond to the attentions of the charming Marquess of Rockley, but she is unable to tell him of her fight against the vampires surrounding them all. ![]() If she chooses to accept her calling, then Victoria will join a small band of vampire slayers who have kept humanity safe for hundreds of years – and like the modern-day Buffy, she can tell no one her secret.Īs a member of the Gardella family and a vampire slayer, Victoria is torn between the glittering world of the ton and its parties, and the darker underworld where she must hunt her prey. ![]() However, on the eve of her coming out, she learns that she has been called to carry the stake of the Gardella family. Victoria Gardella Grantworth prepares for her debut in London with no thought of a calling other than that of finding a suitable husband. It is also so good that I couldn’t wait to get online to see when the next in the series will come out (June 2007 for the curious). In addition, this novel has enough dark, angsty touches to it that I was utterly wrung out by the end. For starters, even though it is published by a romance publisher and has some strongly romantic elements, this book reads more like straight fiction than a true romance. ![]() Somehow I don’t think so since The Rest Falls Away is not a light, Regency-vamp romp by any stretch. When I write that this is a Regency-set vampire novel, there are probably readers out there who will assume that the book is nothing more than a gimmick to draw in the hordes of Regency and vampire fans out there. ![]()
