I only read the second novella, 'Secret Agent Man'. Diana Palmer's books, while reliable for a solid love story, tend to be a bit redundant. The three I picked up recently (I guess I was in the mood for some love) all had the same elements: The hero and heroine already knew each other; There was some sort of misunderstanding that kept them apart (In Trilby he thought she was a loose woman (and latter that she loved someone else), In Secret Agent Man he'd left her after a misunderstanding, In Night of Love she left him). I understand the need for conflict, but it's just so pat.

(SciFi, 2010) Military experiments lead to vampire and apocolypse for America. Hope falls on a six-year-old who might be able to stop the vampires - if she gets to grow up enough. This is a big book, and covers a lot of ground and years. I did not realize when I came to the end that it is a first of several series, and felt very unsatisfied with the conclusion, but it's better since I found out there is more coming. The story development is slow, with each section being given a lot of attention and detail, and years evolve between the sections. The second book doesn't come out until next year - that's a looooong time to remember all the plot points of this very large book.

I couldn't finish this book. I only got to about page 113. I started having weird dreams and was generally disturbed by this book. I didn't like the disjointed writing style. I was never sure what time, place or person I was reading about. Maybe the writing is good if it affected me this way but I can't see myself finishing this book.
