First of all I would like to say that I adore this author and I'm a big fan of her Kismet Knight series , therefore when I received my Kindle I immediately bought this novel. Regretfully I found the characters in this story totally unappealing, beginning with the heroin "Tempest", who is clearly suffering of a bad nymphomania symptom and by an equal unconsciousness of shame or decency. In "Undead in the City", Tempest hypoactive sex drive symptom are presented like an amusing whoring around attitude and sincerely I found that absolutely not funny. To this unpleasant Tempest characteristic, you have now to add a supreme self-love or self-preference symptom, and here you have an absolute loosing character. The character of Malveaux, the hero in this novel, is not much better as the heroin. I really don't mind if a novel is kind of dark, I actually appreciated it, but Malveaux personality didn't warm me at all, and other than be a "talented" sex partner for Tempest, I couldn't find any other positive quality to his character. All things considered the novel was kind of pessimistic and cynical and I didn't enjoy it. Nevertheless I have to say that considering the negative characters and surrounding, somehow Lynda Hilburn managed to write a decent plot.
