Angel Souls and Devil Hearts
Review by ZoeRose, submitted on 9-Oct-2001

Just thought I would drop a line and mention in case no one else had yet.....I just got through reading the sequel to C. Golden's "Of Saints and Shadows" last night...great book!!! It's called "Angel Souls and Devil Hearts", and it is a very good sequel to a very good book. Golden packs a lot of suspense into his story, ending each "chapter" with a cliffhanger-type scene, and jumping in between different locations,(like last time, if I remember correctly...don't have OSAS with me just now), so that I kept racing through the book to find out what happened next....and I could hardly put it down! (not always a good thing since I was reading it at work yesterday too Eye-wink I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't read it yet...suffice it to say that all main characters left at the end of OSAS return....a few surprises....and the vampires' origins are finally discussed. (On this topic, I find GOlden's ideas about how vampires came to be one of the most interesting that I have ever come across in my reading...definately unique)

I didn't even know that this book was out...my eye was drawn to it in the bookstore Mon. afternoon; I picked it up, and as soon as I realized what it was, I immediately went up to the nice man and lady behind Brentano's counter, and bought it. (and then started reading it right then and there as I walked through the mall to meet a fellow vampire-loving friend of mine! Eye-wink

I recommend it for all who loved OSAS.

A Psychological Theory of Vampirism
A Psychological Theory of Vampirism
I'm one of those scientific types who don't believe in the supernatural so my first reaction was skepticism. However, because of my romantic streak, I really wanted to believe in the existence of vampires in all their supernatural glory. So I discussed this with a friend who has a degree in psychology. The question was: is it possible that there can be real, supernatural, blood drinking, classical vampires?
