Told from Morgan's point of view, Ms. Nightingale's version of the "vampyre effect" is original in its use of a transforming virus. Her vampires have reflections, can speak the name of God, and refute several of the usual laws constraining the Undead.The creation of Morgan himself is a tour de force of egotism, wit, sensuality, and talent, as well as a determination to bring about his plan while protecting Isabeau from harm.Sinners' Opera is a beautifully written love story with vivid imagery, dry humor, sarcastic wit, and sensuous love scenes. The descriptions of Charleston bring that city to life. It's also a fascinating journey through the psyche of a man who's lived through the centuries but is now willing to die for the woman he loves and to bring his kind into the light of the mortal's world.This novel was supplied by the publisher and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.This review is an excerpt from the one written by me for the New York Journal of Books.
