Book Review – A Silver Kiss By Diana Hardy

24th January 2011 By Susan Mann 2 Comments

Description:- A dark and daring addition to the literary world of vampirism, this is a collection of rhyming and freestyle poetry that explores the often taboo themes of power, possession and seduction. Emotionally charging, each poem is written from a different perspective, be it the hunter or the hunted and inspires a deeper look into the psychology of the human mind and the darker aspects of human relationships and society
Review:- I would not normally pick up a book of poems. I am starting to write some poetry, which is why I entered the contest on goodreads to win a signed copy of this book. However, I will be picking up more in the future.
This book has some beautifully written poems, for non-vampire fans don’t be put off, these are not horrific words about blood and tearing someone’s heart out. They are about love, passion and lust.
I read this book over a few weeks and I am glad I took my time to absorb the poems. They tell you a story, in an interesting and unusual way.
My favourite is rebith. It is simply stunning. The only thing I would change about this book is the cover, it doesn’t seem to fit the beauty that lies beneath.
If you love Vampires and poetry, then this book is a must for you. If you love a nice book of poetry, then this book is for you and if you love Vampires this book is for you. I really enjoyed this book, even if it would not be one I would normally have bought, it is beautifully written and magical.
I won a signed copy of this book through Goodreads. Thank you very much to Diana Hardy for putting the book up to win and to Goodreads for hosting.

    Wow! This sounds really different! I love that someone is exploring the ubiquitous legend in a new way! Like you, I'm not normally a poetry person, but this sounds really intriguing! Thanks for the review!
