Summary: So Much Potential
Comment: The Marquis de Sade is an immortal vampire?!?
What a premise. Oozes with potential, however Mitchell writes a novel of the hunt and hunted of the undead in a convoluted plot of family of vampires trying to escape from Sade's what else sadism haha.
In particular the first few chapters are such a mishmash of characters and scenes you need a scorecard to keep all the players in this game of undead cat and mouse straight. Mitchell only excarerates the situation, by sometimes referring to de Sade as de Sade and sometimes as Louis (it took me half the novel to discover they were the same person).
This is a novel brimming with potential.... unfortantely wasted, the premise places a fresh spin on the vampire mythos, yet in an attempt to write flourishing prose (which succeeds in parts but not in enough passages) with the grace of de Sade's own style the author boggled the reader down with too muc h style without depth.
Mitchell compounds the weaknesses of this story by instead using the vampire's innate sensuality to help tell the tale relies on shock value graphically depicting her love/sex scenes very heavy handedly.
If you are desperate to read a slightly different vampire novel I may recommend this book to you but there are many better books on the market. Also if I was asked to point out example of wasted potential I would recommend this book and point it out as being a case in point.
Writing this review was no fun, after all as a creature of the night it pains me to pan this novel, but honesty prevails in the end.

Summary: ONE OF MITCHELL'S BEST- IF NOT T.H.E. BEST!!!
Comment: I love 'Tainted Blood' by Mary Ann Mitchell! It's has a good stoy, & a great ending! I think the only partial downside in the book is the French that Sade adds in now & then b/c he doesn't remember how to say it in English... *bah!* All-in-All the story has all the good elements - Vampires, Blood, Comedy, Action & Sex. All that get combined in yet another blood~sucking Sade lifestyle & keeps the pages turning until you reach the end - & still leave you thirsty for more!

Summary: one of the best vampire page turners
Comment: Once again she has done it. The book is never dull from cover to cover and keeps you wanting to know what will happen next. The story and persona's of the charactors are excellent, and that is all that matters, if your a nit picker that likes to anilise every sentence I don't know what you will think of this story, if you read these books it has to be because you like storys, and as far as storys go this is one of the best in Mary Ann Mitchell's series.At this stage I'm a devoted fan ,having read all her books. I'm constantly hoping she writes more quickly so I can get her next book.
