PostKiss of Crimson by Lara Adrian

How does this opener strike you?

Dante smoothed his thumb over sweet female flesh, lingering at the carotid, where the human's pulse throbbed the strongest. His own pulse quickened too, responding to the rush of blood flowing beneath the surface of delicate white skin. Dante leaned his dark head in and kissed that tender spot, letting his tongue play over the fluttering race of the female's heartbeat.

"Tell me," he murmured against the warm skin, his voice a low growl amid the heaving beat of the club's music, "are you a good witch or a bad witch?"



If you've never read this book, or had no clue where the opener comes from, then how does it strike you? If you had only this opener to go on, would you read more? Does it grab you and spur you to read on? Or does it leave you unenthusiastic?

If you read the book it came from, did you remember right away or did you have to look it up? What made it so memorable - or not so memorable?

If you are interested to read on, then do a search on the opening line and tell us what it is.

Now, I don't know, 'cause I haven't googled it yet, but given that this is an SFF page, and they're talkin' about necks and pulses and whatnot, I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it's a book about vampires. So here's my thing: ironic though it may be for someone registered on an SFF site, I don't read a lot of SFF. But I do wanna know:

Why in the hell are vampires always named shit like "Dante," and why in the hell are they always in Da Club? Seriously. What's up with that? Can we please get some vampires named Matt that like, hang out at the coffee shop? There's a lot of nerdy girls there that would be happy to go home with someone and unwittingly get their blood sucked! Do vampires have to be all industrial/techno/S&M all the time?

I don't know what to say. I might give the first chapter a shot based purely on the desire to see if it can maintain that degree of hilarity...But that would probably be enough.

Surely vampires pick their own names.

Okay i googled it to see if she was a good witch or a bad witch. Then i read on...

I would probably borrow this book from the library for a laugh but would never pay money for Kiss of Crimson by Lara Adrian

Yes, indeed, Golophin. Sounds like another one of those vampire erotic romance sort of things.
