....Și la sfârșit a mai rămas coșmarul (...And Then The Nightmare Came At Last)
Invited at a stranger's wedding, in a castle supposed to be haunted by the devil, the fallen noble Arthur de Seragens finds himself trapped in a dangerous net of insanity, betrayal and murder. While the guests are brutally murdered by an inhuman enemy, the hero discovers in terror the target may be his love interest, the beautiful Adrianna de Valois, young daughter of the dark chief of Police. Panicked and desperate, Arthur is forced to make an ellusive pact with the most powerful survivers: the viscount of Vincennes, his friend, also a logician an intrigue expert; the beautiful and imoral italian countess Giulianna Sellini, a supposed poisoner and a necromancer; Huguet de Castlenove, an ex-priest, now a dangerous killer and swordsman manipulated by his mysterious lover; the handsome, cruel and violent master of the land, Duke of Chalais; and many other, including the man who is feared by them all - Albert de Guy, from the Holy Inquisition.
But who is the mysterious assaillant? A vampire? A werewolf? A serial killer? A mad incubus? Or... maybe all of them?
Violence, savagery, beauty, love and passion, logic and mystery - an inquiry in the dark.
Absolutely gorgeous, especially the dark romantic atmosphere and the way author uses character's feeling to change their faith. I loved the way the weak, ruined Arthur became the tragic, deterined hero inspired by his love and lust for Adrianne, the way Chalais used his own vanity, ego and arrogance in a positive way, and the slow descent of the perfect Vincennes, once he decided not to trust his own heart towards Josephine. A true suspansful gothic love story, spiced with twists and shock.

Aceasta este a 2-a carte horror pe care o citesc, dacă nu mă înșel,prima a fost Coșmar de închiriat, care mi-a plăcut foarte mult,și această carte este una foarte reușită, plină de suspans, care merită toate laudele.Personajul principal este Arthur,un nobil decăzut, care primește o scrisoare prin care este invitat să participe la nunta unei prietene vechi - Josephine. El acceptă invitația, urmând să plece într-o călătorie spre Castelul Ultimelor Turnuri, locul unde va avea loc nunta. La început
Greatest surprise ever had from Romanian literature!Vampire romance and thriller at its best!!
Now that was brilliant! Dark and really scary, yet beautiful... And quite sad. Anyway, a must read. You should read it, especially now that Halloween is almost here! >:)

Vampirii nobili și vârcolacii savuroși redevin creaturi monstruoase ale nopții într-un roman alert și bine documentat în care forțele răului nu-și pudrează nasul. Părțile horror și polițiste mi s-au părut bine scrise, personajele intenționat stereotipe și fascinația pentru diversele Lolite, binișor. Oricum, mi-a plăcut și m-a speriat mult mai mult decât mă așteptam. Mai vreau! Se vede că e un roman la care s-a muncit mult și atent; bonus, vine la pachet cu o postfață și o minienciclopedie deAbsolutely gorgeous, especially the dark romantic atmosphere and the way author uses character's feeling to change their faith. I loved the way the weak, ruined Arthur became the tragic, deterined hero inspired by his love and lust for Adrianne, the way Chalais used his own vanity, ego and arrogance in a positive way, and the slow descent of the perfect Vincennes, once he decided not to trust his own heart towards Josephine.
