Fluff is good. In a vampire book, I'd rather have it fluffy. Rice got too dark--fluffless!
I completely agree......a little demented I think...my sister-in-law loved to read Rice and hands them to me...but I can't get through them
Then you will LOVE the Feehan Dark books. I mean, they are SO written for women (the men don't turn to evil if they can find their other half/lifemate). And they can be very funny and sweet.
OK, the killing the vampire parts are pretty icky, but even then, you're rooting for the heros.
