Anyone who knows me realises that I like vampire novels, but since I've read so many I thought that nothing could surprise me. Boy, was I wrong, but I'm not going to give you the synopsis because you can read that elsewhere. I want to talk about the book and the characters.Florid Eyes is something different. Yes, it has good vampires (one really) and there are bad vampires. Josh is a good vampire but he doesn't sparkle in the sun. That doesn't mean he likes the sun and what it does to him, but he avoids it as much as he can. Being a vampire isn't something he wanted to be, but he tries to make the best of a bad situation while trying to find THE cure. Josh is also gorgeous. (Sigh) He is over 6 foot tall with dark blonde hair and has sapphire blue eyes. (Another sigh)
Enter Violet, a PhD student studying political science in Washington. She wants to make a difference in the world and that includes helping Josh. I love an intelligent, but beautiful woman, who has a mind of her own and knows how to use. When they meet, two soul mates find each other.
But that's only the beginning. From there the story unfolds and the reader is swept up in not just a romance novel, but a story of intrigue and suspense that keeps the reader captured to the very end. There were a few twists and turns that kept me guessing and characters that were not what I was expecting.
I gave it 4 and half stars out of 5 because I thought it slowed down at one stage and I was hoping for a bit more spice, but I think the story was aimed at a younger audience. It had an ending, but it didn't so I think (and hope) there is more to come in this vampire story.
Well done, Nicky. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

Florid Eyes A Novel edition by Nicky English Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I have to say that I have read quite a few Vampire novels... and they mainly all run the same someone falls in love with a vampire something happens and the person that's in love turns! End of story... but NOT in this Novel. Violet is a very grounded hard working, bull headed law student wanting to make a difference in the world. Josh is a man on a mission he has been on a quest sort of speak looking for something that has been lost or hidden for far too long. These two cross paths while Violet is on a run one night and everything goes downhill from there. If snowballs could roll up hill then I would of said everything goes up hill for them but the fact is sometimes wanting to make the world a better place constitutes in doing some things you may not be so proud of doing as well as befriending the very people who should in all rights scare you to death. Josh has blood in his hands and Violet strives to help him with the help of a few people that Josh isn't the fondest of. I have to say that I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review and I believe I fairly reviewed this book. I am however hoping that there will be more to read in the near future. I am curious how the lives of all the characters in this book pan out. Thank you for this opportunity to read a really great book that a lot of heart went into.

The Unofficial Addiction Book Fan Club's Review
About The Book
Violet Lancaster is a PhD student at Georgetown University and with clear ideas and a high moral. Violet is determinate to make a name for herself in Washington D.C by working hard and not because of the money or, like other people, because of their parents.
But everything Violet has been fighting for in the last years is turned upside down when she runs into an unknown man who appears to be in danger.
Since she saw him in that dark alley, she cannot take him out of her mind, but soon she would find out how/what this mysterious and handsome men is.
Josh Levinson, the men from the alley, was born in Philadelphia in the year 1776. He is a vampire, and when he sees Violet in the alley he finds that he is really attracted to her.
When Violet starts to see Josh everywhere she goes, the attraction between them starts to grow. Together they will go to a dangerous journey, where the final price will be the freedom of Josh, a cure for vampirism.
Would they survive this journey? Would love be enough to survive to all the danger that is coming?
Review
First of all, we would like to apologize to Nicky English for the delay; we've been so busy lately with the university and all that we barely had enough time.
As for the book, we have to say that it was an amazing reading. We did not see what was going to happen next. We totally agree with Nicky. She wanted a good Vampire novel that wasn't like any other, and she made it!
What make Florid Eyes different is that we are not dealing with horny teenagers, but adults! Don't get us wrong we love our horny teenagers (just go and take a look at our TUABFC team section and see for yourselves), but it was really nice to have a good vampire novel with mature characters.
One of the many reasons Florid Eyes is not like other vampire novel, is that the book is not all about forbidden love, it has its romantic moments, but the book is not just that. Florid eyes goes beyond love, it has mystery, courage, a search for something important; no matter what may stand in their way, they are going to try everything in their hands to accomplish their goal.
We have to confess that we are in love with Violet (YES! With a girl!), she is so smart and beautiful. We loved how she stands up for what she believes, and that all she has accomplished is thanks to her hard work. We loved how she decided to help Josh, even though she was putting herself in danger, and all because of her convictions. Violet is one of the the reasons that make Florid Eyes stand out from other vampire novel, having a smart girl that with her own life. We were so glad to see for once that the girl wasn't the one in danger, it was the other way around.
About our beloved Josh, I could not say anything bad about him. He is so noble, strong minded, and last but not less important, super HOT. He did not love what he is, but he did not refuse his nature; he feed on human, not some poor little animal, but he chose very carefully his prey. The fact that his diet consist on humans didn't make him a bad guy, actually it made him look like a pure soul because he only feed on bad people (murderers, violators, etc).
As for other characters, I don't really know what to think of Josh's grandfather, I'm kind of lost here! But one thing I am totally sure is that he did make me pee in my pants. He scared the hell out of me! He is so polite and so scary at the same time. However, I think that his intention, deep down, is good, tough he has a really weird of showing it.
Even thought I loved the characters, and the plot was really smart and enjoyable, I have to point out that Florid Eyes was written in third person. I would have liked it more if Violet and Josh were the ones telling the story. By saying this, I am not implying that Florid Eyes was bad written, we are just saying that it may have been nicer and it would feel closer and more personal. I have to add that Nicky has a big talent, and despite writing Florid Eyes in third person, she did an excellent work because she makes me love Florid eyes.
The end of the book was something unexpected, I loved it and, at the same time, I hated it. I am not saying anything more for your own sake. I'm dying to know more about the sequel of Florid Eyes! (We have heard Nicky is thingkink to call it "Dripping Heart"!)
Books addicts, to put an end to our review, we want to encourage you to give Florid Eyes a shot, it won't disappoint you. It is an entertaining, explosive, unique and a new Vampire novel.
A vampire, a young lady, and their adventure to seal their love.
Just when you thought there are enough vampire stories, here comes another one, and this one is different.
There are adventures, vampire feuds, treasure hunt and even foreign relations, yet this author has written a story that is totally dedicated to love and eternity.
If you are looking for an easy-to-read romance adventure that is not overly burdened by vampire cliches, look no further.
Anyone who knows me realises that I like vampire novels, but since I've read so many I thought that nothing could surprise me. Boy, was I wrong, but I'm not going to give you the synopsis because you can read that elsewhere. I want to talk about the book and the characters.
Florid Eyes is something different. Yes, it has good vampires (one really) and there are bad vampires. Josh is a good vampire but he doesn't sparkle in the sun. That doesn't mean he likes the sun and what it does to him, but he avoids it as much as he can.

(Sigh) He is over 6 foot tall with dark blonde hair and has sapphire blue eyes. (Another sigh)

There were a few twists and turns that kept me guessing and characters that were not what I was expecting.

Well done, Nicky. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.
