The Dark Lord: A Vampire Love Story by Tina JMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Enjoyable Urban Read
This is a steamy romance with action and drama. It’s a fun and entertaining read, presenting in urban colloquialism. With a splash of horror, a spice of erotica, a bite of vampires, and urban fantasy, there’s something for everyone.
What I loved was the characters. There were times I struggled to connect with them (I don’t abide calling people bitch and such), but they charmed me nonetheless. Hope and Ezekiel become people I really liked and cared for. Their relationship kept me vested in the story.
As an editor,I struggled with the formatting. The subject of each paragraph was not well-defined, including who the pronoun reflected. The slang wasn’t an issue, but the structure often pulled me from the story.
Overall, I think this was an enjoyable read. It’s witty, action-packed, and raunchy in all the right ways. If you live a good vampire romance, you’ll want to check this story out!
