It's no secret that I love the Angelique-as-vampire story, when she goes after Barnabas with a vengeance! Some of her bites are gentle and tender, while others are simply ravenous, bordering on vengeful!
Her final bite, when she drains Barnabas of blood, intending to turn him into her vampire companion, is quite erotic, her lips stained with his blood, and her declaration that they will soon be together, never to be parted again. The ecstasy on her face makes you wonder what else she did to Barnabas while sucking the last of his blood!
Best of all is when she kidnaps Barnabas and takes him to the hut by the sea. She kneels behind him, dropping her hands delicately to his shoulders, and bites him while he protests, "No, no," all the while craning his neck toward her!
And of course, I love the scene in which she comes to his room for the first time in 1795, all set to pick up their affair where they left off, wanting to make love to him. He rejects her, setting off revenge that will last both of them through one century after another.
Love, Robin
