I recently read Hotel Transylvania by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro which is the first novel in a series written about a vampire called le Comte de Saint Germaine. While the Comte is a vampire, he is also a very good guy who spends the novel doing his best to defeat a bunch of nobly born Satan worshippers in Paris in the year of 1743 (and they are a pretty nasty lot who like to gang rape virgins among other horrible crimes). A great adventure story, and a whole lot of fun to read. Someday I hope to track down more books in this series. And it was refreshing to read about a vampire who is a genuine hero and who is not oversexed and angsty (yes, I have probably read too much of Laurell K. Hamilton!
).
Has anyone else here read the Yarbro books? Does the high quality continue after the first novel?
