"First in new series! -- ambitious and exciting"
First in an exciting new series! Valerie Falkyr has a fairly normal life. Besides the gaping
hold in her memory -- she can't remember anything that
happened before she work up in the hospital in a dishy
doctor's care -- she'd be perfectly content. She has a fun-
loving roomate and now she's dating the dishy doctor... but
when a popular underground production company rolls into
town her hidden past will be disturbed. Beset by monsters, with no way to tell who's good and who's
bad, Valerie blunders into dark truths that lie buried in
her own mind. Along the way she meets some very interesting
people... many of whom are male, and many who appear to
know better than she does who exactly she is! THE VALKYRIE is an exciting, ambitious novel by new author
Mandy M. Roth, an author some have likened to popular
vampire/faerie author Laurell K. Hamilton. (Probably
because of her heroine's never-ending bevy of men) The
story itself is intriguing, with it's many mysteries, not
the least of which is the question of who -- or what --
Valerie really is. Being the first in the series, not all
questions are answered before the climactic finale, but in
the end enough is revealed to keep the reader well and
truly hooked. THe characterization is a bit light, from the
mysterious heroine to the many characters who appear in
quick succession at the end, and the story does start
slowly, but once Roth hits her stride the story flows
wonderfully. If you're tired of the same old human/vamp
romance, or are a fan of Hamilton's many men/one heroine
technique, you owe it to yourself to check out this amazing
story. Reviewed by Ann Leveille
