Blood and Fog by Nancy Holder
Did not finish book.
I don't know what page I stopped on and don't have the book with me, but I didn't get very far. I tried because the plot sounded interesting.
However, the writing was absolutely terrible.
I'm not sure the woman who wrote this book - Nancy Holder - has ever even watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though I couldn't say definitively one way or the other.
The last straw for me was when there was a mention of the Romans celebrating Christmas. (It wasn't even a character saying this! It was regular text. It was to give background about something. I don't know what, because I immediately stopped reading as I had had enough).
THE ROMANS DIDN'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS! They were the ones who supposedly killed Christ! They didn't start celebrating Christmas in 0 AD!
The Romans celebrated something called Saturnalia. The author knew about Samhain but thought that the Romans celebrated effing Christmas!?
