I have just finished reading Ted Dekker’s latest novel, Immanuel’s Veins and I tell you you have to read this one.
Full of seduction, betrayl and longing, this book is sure to capture your heart. Immanuel’s Veins is a story we all need to read. We need to take it in and dwell on it and think about what love really is.
The story line was very well put together and the first person view point of the main character, Toma Nicolescu, is, to me, an essential part to the novel’s message. The way Ted uses words in a way that amazes me. Everything is so perfectly put together.
Yes, this book is full of seduction, lust and blood (it’s all about the blood), yet, Ted uses it very carefully, yet so vividly. It is used only when it is needed.
I would reccomend this novel to anyone. I invite you, my friends, to sink your teeth into this novel, hoping, after you’ve read it, you will never be the same.
I’m glad so many people like you have read and reviewed this book! Immanuel’s Veins was wonderful and I can’t wait for more Ted Dekker novels to come! I posted my review of Immanuel’s Veins at fablefreak.wordpress.com check it out!

I haven’t read a lot of Ted Dekker before and I would have to say that Immanuel’s Veins was the best book that I didn’t like.
The writing is really quite superb: descriptive language, active plot, interesting characters all worked together. It was just all the lust, blood, and even more blood that just smothered me.
I wrote a review of this book on my own blog here:

Great review! I see your thoughts on the blood and sensuality, but this didn’t bother me. I am glad that you still liked it and thought it was well-written. In regards to your comment on Ted wanting to get a Christian hand into the vampire franchise: Ted started writing Immanuel’s Veins before Twilight and all those books became popular. From what I have seen, vampire stories weren’t popular.
