Review: The Thrill Ride Continues
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 3, 2014
Overall - 4 starsAdrenaline abounds as expected in The Nightlife series. My favorite vampires are trying to clean up past mistakes, but only seem to get into more trouble.Fantasy World - 3 starsLondon gets shortchanged in this book. It feels real enough and there are no bungee cords, but I wanted more. In the first book New York itself was a character as was Paris in the third book. Only the barest glimpse of London is provided this time.Tingle - 5 starsM/F and M/F/F action. Gives new meaning to the phrase sexual healing. Whew!Characters - 4 starsThe nature of Aaron and Michelle's relationship changes yet again. Urvashi is relegated mostly to the background. New interests are introduced, but mysteries about them remain.Story - 4 starsFeels too short, but not rushed. Good storyline and continues series well, but felt more like tapas than a full main course.Summary“The Nightlife London” by Travis Luedke is a worthy member of the The Nightlife series, and continues the non-stop adventures full of sex and violence. There are echoes of “Taken” and “An American Werewolf in London” as Aaron and Michelle try to track down their Parisian attacker by visiting London strip clubs. Their own relationship is evolving since Michelle's death broke their previous bond, and the introduction of Urvashi adds confusion/irritation/lust. This fourth book in the series poses more questions than it answers, and feels more like a set up for the fifth book. It's good, but is perhaps not quite complete on its own.Not recommended as a stand alone read. At the very least you'll need to read “The Nightlife Paris” to make sense of the characters, although reading the entire series is much preferable. The $4.99 price is a bit steep for 178 pages, but the rest of the books can be purchased for $7.99 by buying the Omnibus edition. Only $2 each for the other books is a good bargain.For access to all links in this review, please visit [...]
