the best vampire series i have ever read

I loved it. I have A Taste Of Blood Wine..the first in the series and Dark Blood of Poppies...the last...I have searched and searched for A Dance in Blood Velvet and could not find it anywhere. These books are so amazing, i have read them over and over and can read them again and again...if you havent already read it...you dont know what you've been missing out on.

Worth Adding to Anyone's Vampire Collection

I have a signed paperback copy of Freda Warrington's first book in the trilogy, 'Taste of Blood Wine' and have also read the second 'A Dance in Blood Velvet' and the third, 'The Dark Blood of Poppies'. All three titles present a new viewpoint to the genre. The beautiful vampire characters are all extremely vivid, individual and 'believable'. The Dark Blood of Poppies mainly centres around Sebastian and Violette, both vampires which appear to have a different and separate destiny, but a wonderful twist in the end makes everything 'fall' into place. The previous vampire characters are all there - Karl, Charlotte, Kristian, The Twins - Niklas and Stefan, Pierre and the illustrious Illona - plus many other new creatures.The setting also adds to the feel of the story. I have read each at least five times ! If anyone collects vampire fiction, these are the one's to sit next to Anne Rice in your bookshelf. Freda, Let's have a fourth please !

WARRINGTON OUT-RICES ANNE RICE!

THE DARK BLOOD OF POPPIES, Freda Warrington's third novel in her Vampyre trilogy, is an excellent blend of horror, humor, 1920's period history and fantasy. Reminiscent of Anne Rice's VAMPIRE CHRONICLES, Warrington does the concept better by introducing new elements, such as The Crystal Ring, a method of astral travel used by her Vampyres. She beings in the ancient Vampyre Mother Lilith and introduces the concept of an impending Armageddon in the Vampyre world, a la White Wolf's roleplaying game, VAMPIRE: THE MAS- QUERADE. But Warrington's work rises far, far above Rice and White Wolf. Now that I've read the third novel, I have to go back and locate the first two! Highly, highly recommended! Unfortuna- tely, available only in Great Britain(I obtained my copy by e-mailing the author, who sent me a complimentary, inscribed copy!)at the moment.Let's hope an American publioshed snaps up the trilogy "real soon now!" Sweet nightmares...and remember STAY OUT OF THE DAYLIGHT!
