Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
After seven hundred years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She's training to be a private investigator, and her very first assignment is to find an immortal's mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realizes she's in way over her head.
Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite, and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn't know it yet, but she's his lifemate and he's determined to woo her. It's been over five hundred years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven't changed. Now if only he can keep her alive—so to speak—so they can have that happily-ever-after.

VAMPIRE INTERRUPTED
I didn't care for the last two Sand's books and hence my last two reviews on these series have been negative. I was hard pressed to pick up another Argeneau novel as they were starting to get monotonous and rather stereotyped. The rave reviews here made me give it a try. And for which I am so glad!!!! This is by far the best Argeneau novel in the series! In VAMPIRES ARE FOREVER - Sands set up a series of events that were terribly confusing but now, after reading VAMPIRE INTERRUPTED make sense.
VAMPIRE INTERRUPTED takes up right where VAMPIRES ARE FOREVER finishes and is told from Marguerite Argeneau's perspective. Having raised four children - and successfully found lifemates for all of them - and most of the Argeneau clan - Marguerite decided to take on a new career and try out her sleuth skills as a private detective. She is hired by Christian Notte - an immortal searching for his mother. Christian's father - Julius Notte will not tell is son who his mother is. To him she is dead - and that is the end of it.
Julius and Marguerite have met before - though she doesn't recall. He's also met Jean Claude Argeneau - Margeuerite's now deceased husband. Marguerite's marriage to Jean Claude was a living nightmare, something she doesn't discuss and above all is not going to repeat. However - Marguerite feels drawn to Julius - even as she lacks trust in him due to the fact that she is surprised that being Christian's father, he will not reveal to his own son who his mother was.
Marguerite's past contains answers to some of the weird events taking place - as all traipse to York in England - with hopes that the city will reveal some of the answers everyone is looking for.
Not as humorous as her previous books, VAMPIRE INTERRUPTED carries a more serious overtone. The attraction between Julius and Marguerite is palpable, yet there is obviously more to it than meets the eye. Both ancient immortals that have met in the past.
The plot was very inventive, well written and kept me on my toes - wanting to find out who the villain was and who in the end was Christian's mother. Even the title was very ingenious!
I do, however have to agree - with most reviewers here - that the editing was lousy!! The book is liberally sprinkled with error after error! Lynsay Sands needs to get new editors for sure. It ALMOST ruined such a fabulous book - ALMOST! Please try to overlook that and read this great novel - perfect plot telling Marguerite Argeneau's story. Lynsay redeemed herself with this one!!

The story itself was pretty good but I thought the execution of it was deeply flawed. At least twice I found continuity issues (e.g., character wishing she'd had more time to explore such-n-such city last time they were there instead of three days buried in archive research, yet roughly 100 pages later it's being pounded into the read that she's never been to that city).
There seemed to be a lot of repetitiveness as well. It bothered me that near the beginning of the book the two main characters chatted all night in a coffee shop with him telling her all about his son's progression to becoming involved with a hard rock band, then near the end of the book they have very nearly the same conversation with him being very uncertain about what to even call the type of music his son was currently involved with... and her acting as if it were all brand new information to her even though the previous conversation happened no more than a week or so in the timeline of the book!
There were a few lines that kept repeating, too, as if the author felt the need to pound a certain idea into the reader's head (or just make word count) that I found extremely annoying.
All in all, I enjoyed the actual story but I do feel it could have been better written (or, you know, edited at all) without losing any of the magic.

Marguerite Argeneau, the mettlesome mother of Lucern, Bastien, Etienne, and Lissiana, finally gets her story told. 'Vampire, Interrupted' was a book all fans of the Argeneau's had waited for, and a book many feared would end the series. Luckily the ending puts your fears to rest. There are a great many more stories to be told and Marguerite and her mettling will remain a part of those story lines.
'Vampire, Interrupted'was very unexpected, I had no idea what Lynsay Sands was going to do for her story, but never would I have thought of this! Julius Notte is PERFECT for Marguerite!!! I loved the story line, it kept me at the edge of my seat for the entire book. Admittedly, yes, there were some editing mistakes, but I honestly don't believe that they take away from the book. This is now officially one of my favorite books of all time!!!
I recommend this book to all readers of the Argeneau series, all fans of Lynsay Sands, and any vampire romance fanatics.
The subsequent book in the series is 'The Rogue Hunter', and I can't wait for it to come out!

This whole series is awesome. I hope this isn't the last one there are still people left for her to match up.

I totally agree with the reviewer who said the family tree in the front of the book spoiled the surprise of who Christain's mother is. I had the same problem. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book. I liked being able to read the story knowing that the time line was repeating from the previous novel (A Vampires are Forever) with Thomas and Inez. Reading about the purse being stolen and why she hadn't called the family for several days was cool.
It was also nice to know that Marguerite finds her mate after helping so many others find theirs. A bit sappy at the end, but still a fun read. I'm kind'a hoping Tiny gets someone, too. He's really funny.
