One thing in standard horror is the fast-paced action that the readers of that genre seem to expect. THIS IS NOT THAT TYPE OF STORY.Elizabeth Rose is a well-crafted tale that has sweeping scenery and a literary feel that is seldom found in these stories of vampires...or vampyres (as there is apparently a difference in Janus Gangi's "Providence" series). It is obvious that Ms. Gangi has a love for the Middle Eastern culture and it shows.Admittedly, this may not be a book for everybody. Yes, it had angels and lycans and vampires...but it is not your typical horror. It has depth and shows a potential for an entire world where the reader can become a witness through the eyes of very believable characters.This tale is mostly a story-within-a-story as Elizabeth Rose recounts a significant moment in her history. I have a feeling this is a launch pad of something wonderful and will be eager to read more as the series unfolds.
