Interpretation Concering Books A Dozen Black Roses (Sonja Blue #4)
Yay! This book was really a pure delight to indulge in!I purchased this on a whim from a 2nd hand store, as the cover was just GORGEOUS, and it reminded me of the 90s The Crow Comics that I collect.
Now I want to read and own the entire series!
Our main character Sonja is an amazing force to be reckoned with, I completely idolize her! Sonja is the female version of Blade, and she is SO beautifully wicked! She isn't standing around waiting for some man to help save her, nope, she is kicking ass, taking notes all on her own! Which is exactly the type of female lead character I LOVE to read about! <3
This is heavy on the evil Vamp culture from the 90s, and it was written before our beloved fanged creatures turned all pretty, sparkly and popular. I sure missed these evil Vamps! There is gore, and violence to the max, so this is not for the faint of heart. No sparkly pretty fanged teenagers here, these are ancient cruel evil gods. So move along Twilighters. haha.
This was such a delicious treat, I can't wait to pick up the others.
A true hidden gem, I recommend to all fans of the original Vampires!

This was a fun, gritty and gripping little book to read. A deliberate and successful mashup of, Sonja Blue and the World of Darkness, universes.The obvious wink winks, to Yojimbo, and A Fistfull of Dollars, are both obvious and delightful. You will most likely be saying, "Now let me think, what happens next in the movie."Enjoy!!Sometimes good, sometimes underwhelming. The whole Vampire: the Masquerade crossover thing really did feel forced and awkward. Must go back and reread the original trilogy.
Part of my initial love of A Dozen Black Roses was that it came out when I was LARPing and so I gleefully imagined some of the characters I had to deal with getting into a show down with Sonja Blue. Now Biting Dog has released a White Wolf-free version of A Dozen Black Roses, which makes it less like a shoe horned effort to keep a star writer like Collins while also pushing the White Wolf RPG line, and more like an actual Sonja Blue novel. Collins' vampire hunting vampire Sonja Blue was one of
this book bears a heavy resemblance to the stories of Blade as well as Vampire Hunter D. it was pretty well written, very dark and graphic. sensual. all the hallmarks of a well written, eroticized, vampire hunter story.
My teenage goth self was screaming with delight. It is brutal and predictable and I want to be Sonja Blue when I grow up.
For fans of the film "Razor Blade Smile"
read it more than once
