Summary

Dark Shadows' two most popular characters, Barnabas Collins and Angelique, were eternally bound by love and hate. Now actress Lara Parker, Angelique herself, tells the story of how it all began.

The dashing heir of a New England shipping magnate, Barnabas Collins captures the heart of the exquisite, young Angelique amidst the sensual beauty of Martinique, her island home. But Angelique's brief happiness is doomed when Barnabas deserts her and becomes engaged to another. With this one betrayal, Barnabas unleashes an evil that will torment him for all time.

For Angelique is no ordinary woman. Raised in the mysterious black art of voodoo witchcraft, she long ago pledged her soul to darkness and became immortal. Vowing to destroy Barnabas, a vengeful Angelique damns him to eternal life as a vampire - a companion to accompany her forever. Little does Angelique understand the depth of Barnabas's fury....

This edition of Dark Shadows: Angelique's Descent has been updated by the author with an all-new final chapter.

Too graphic and quite inappropriate!

I love the Dark Shadows TV series which ran from 1967-1971 in the US and which i discovered on Amazon UK Prime a couple of years ago. I have 6 of these spin-off audio books so far, many performed by the original actors from the series, (as this one is, narrated by Lara Parker who played Angelique in the series). i love the other 5 books.

This is the story of Angeliques childhood and at first I thought it was quite interesting as I liked learning her back story. However I didn't like the parts about her childhood in Martinique, there was too much sex in this story for my liking, its very graphic and Angelique is a child!! It ruined the whole story for me, made me cringe and to be honest I can't understand why the author felt the need for such an inappropriate storyline. The sex bits should be removed from the story - that's why this book is only getting one star from me! I really don't think this book should even be on sale with this kind of content!!
