Definitely love Katie MacAlister. Her books are extremely amazing! This book has a good plot and is amazingly continued from the teen series she made including Benedikt and Fran! The vikings are back as well to make this book interesting! Definitely an amazing read I would tell any Romance lover to read! I could not put this book down no matter how hard I tried!

I will freely admit that I am a huge Katie MacAlister fan, I purchase all of her books when they come out and read them extremely quickly. For me this book was worth the time between the two YA novels and this, the story of the characters after Fran had been given time to grow up. For me this was a perfect example of Katie MacAlister's ability to combine a great story with great humor. I laughed out loud many times and got looked at a little funny because of it as I normally do when reading any of her work. A great story and wonderful addition to the Dark Ones series!

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.The Fates declared that Francesca Ghetti was Benedikt Czerny's beloved soul mate. However, Fran loves Ben, but refuses to accept destiny when she believes in free will. She leaves her beloved in Europe while returning to America (see the young adult teen fantasies CIRCUS OF THE DARNED and GOT FANGS, written as Katie Maxwell).
Five years have passed since Fran said goodbye to Ben. After rescuing her roommate from an otherworldly assault, Fran returns to the Gothfaire where they first met when she learns her mom, who remained with the troupe, vanished. Fran knows her mom would never just leave as she takes her role as the witch seriously. Accompanying her are three Viking ghosts assigned to banish Loki. She also has a rival for Ben's affection as Naomi the tattoo artist overtly makes it clear she wants him. Finally there is the villagers' paying homage to Wagner. With all that floating around mom still remains missing while an evil necromancer begins a deadly incantation.
This zany clever Dark Ones sentry (see The Last of the Red Hot Vampires) stars the six foot (no longer teen) in an adult role as she finds her vampiric soul mate with an apparent lover and meets his sibling. As is her personality, Fran charges ahead ready to fight anyone even her own heart while ripping skin off of everyone even Viking ghosts. Although the reunion lacks intensity beyond jealousy and sex, fans will enjoy the return as Ben and Fran lead readers on a wild tour of Europe.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I liked the plot but I really didn't thinks most of the stuff was funny and believable. I've read all her other books in the series and usually couldn't put the others down, I had a hard time finishing this book (but I did).

Those of you who remember Katie Macalister's young adult books 'Got Fangs' and 'Circus of the Darned'. Will be happy to know Ben and Fran are back and older. So they now fit perfectly into the Dark ones series. Having thought Ben and Fran were so cute in the Young adult books. I was happy to read there more mature relationship now with twists and turns. I simply could not put the book down. Loved it! Want more Ben and Fran books!!

by now the dark ones series is a little formulaic, but always good for a good time.
