It’s been a year since Samantha Carter blasted back to
1888, barely escaping with her life. Now, returned to present-day London with
only her nymphomaniac flatmate for company, she’s starting to believe that everything
– the blood-curdling vampires, her strange and sudden skills with a gun, even
her mysterious lover Harry – was nothing but a dream.
Just when Sammy is about to lose all hope that her
friends and memories were real, it finally happens again. This time she’s
pulled back to a city she does not recognise: a London in the grip of a
terrible plague, where death haunts the night and a deeper, darker threat lurks
underground, waiting for its chance . . .

pulled back to a city she does not recognise: a London in the grip of a
terrible plague, where death haunts the night and a deeper, darker threat lurks
underground, waiting for its chance . . .
Fighting side by side with her friends once again, Sammy
encounters horrors beyond her imagining; yet what really terrifies her are the
endless questions, one most of all: who is she really? Torn between the life
she longs for and the life she can believe in, Sammy must decide whether she’s
brave enough to risk everything, even her heart.

My Review:
A couple
of weeks ago I received ‘Vampire Watchmen’ by Tim O’Rourke through the Little
Brown Book Group in exchange for my honest review. Since I haven’t read the
first book in this series I was really excited to find out what this book was
all about. The description sounded really good and the cover looked amazing, so
I figured the reading would also be very entertaining.

In ‘Vampire
Watchmen’ we follow Samantha Carter a woman living in London. Last year Samantha
had an incredible experience when she traveled to another time. Without really
understanding what happened she appeared in 1888, and after a while she found
herself back in the present. Now it’s almost a year later and ever since she
came back to the present, she is trying to find an answer to the question how
she was able to move through time. Samantha misses the friends she met back in
1888 terrible. With them Samantha finally felt like she had someplace she
belonged.

‘Vampire
Watchmen’ is the first book I read by Tim O’Rourke. In the beginning I found
myself having a little trouble with figuring out what was happening. I just
found the time traveling aspect a little confusing at first. But when I
continued reading I soon found myself being pulled into this story. This story
is funny, mysterious, scary and at times romantic and sexy. What I found really
refreshing about this story was the way the vampires in this book are. The
vampires where scary and completely evil. Nothing good about them! After having
read so many stories about good vampires I really liked this different detail.

The
character I liked the most was Harry, Samantha’s
lover/friend/boyfriend/mysterious guy. Although I never really figured out who
and what he really was I loved reading about him. I found his snappy answers
and confusing moods really enjoyable. He was just really mysterious and I
really enjoyed that.

This
book was definitely a nice read. The time traveling and the vampire hunting
made this a very interesting read and I found Tim O’Rourke writing very
enjoyable. This book definitely made me want to read more about Samantha’s
world.
