Publisher Description

Seventeen-year-old Lorelei Patio is the adopted daughter of two-hundred-year-old vampire Sergio Patio. She never realized why her family has had to move so often or why she is not permitted to get too friendly with other young people. In fact, except for one shocking moment that seemed more like a dream, Lorelei never fully realized who and what her father was nor what her sisters were brought up to do for him. But one day, that all changed. Sergio's "daughters" serve a very important purpose: they are all beautiful young ladies who can easily attract—and lure—men so that Sergio can feed on their blood. And now daddy expects Lorelei to be the obedient daughter he needs and bring him new victims.

But when Lorelei meets a shy, handsome young man named Buddy in school, she quickly falls in love with him. He feels the same way but wonders why she doesn't want to take him home to meet her father. Lorelei knows what will happen if she does and tries desperately to keep her two worlds apart, but she knows she can never truly escape her fate as a daughter of darkness. How will she manage these two worlds, and what will she have to give up to do so?

"Most VC Andrews have darker story lines, this one definitely fit the mold. I do wish it was part of a series rather then a stand along book. There are a lot of things that I feel should be expanded on. It wasn't a terrible book, but left me extremely confused."

    " I was really excited to read the synopsis of this book. I have been a fan of Andrews for a very long time (even though the writing has gone downhill the past few books), and was excited to see the take on the popular vampire storied that have been making the rounds. However, I was sadly disappointed. The Daughters of Darkness is a great concept, however, so much of the story seemed so forced, and ridiculously predictable. I read the book all the way through out of respect for Andrews but I really had to force myself to get through it. "

    " When I was younger, I read VC Andrews and I knew she passed away and they hired a ghost writer to continue. I've read some series he wrote and some of them were actually pretty good. This book had a very slow progression and it was very predictable. I am not sure I would read anymore in this series, unless I prehaps won a copy. "

    " I liked it to an extent. If you have read any vampire books this one is completely different and as always it seems to have that VC Andrews incest vibe. Other than that it was not a terrible read "

    " I usually love V.C. Andrews books, but this was another disappointment! It's a different take on Andrews novels, as it deals with vampires and usually I love a good vamp book, but I was just not having it with this one. "

    " Interesting take on vampires, but not one of the better V.C.A. books out there. Doesn't call them "vampires" or elaborate on them. "

    " I loved V.C. Andrews' books as a tween/teen. I picked this up in Penn Station when I had a lonely trainride home ahead of me. It was a few bucks and a waste of money. It wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Crappy writing style and predictable everything. Worst ghostwriter ever...give.it.up. "

    " I grew up LOVING VC Andrews' books. When I saw this book at WalMart, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Sadly, I was so incredibly disappointed!! I kept reading, hoping that it would become the kind of suprising book I was used to from VC Andrews... but it never did. "
