The Sword-Edged Blonde by Alex Bledsoe, Tor Fantasy, July 2009
One of Susan Sizemore's first professional works was in the TV Spinoff novel from the TV Vampire show Forever Knight.
Susan Sizemore's Urban Fantasy subgenre of Vampire Romance is not an out-growth of Forever Knight, nor in any way a copy. But it delivers a very similar payload of romance, love, mysery, and general predicament.

As usual for December, no books are reviewed so as not to fuel the commercialization of the holiday season.
Here we take note of a property shared by all the novels reviewed in The Science of Magic series this previous five months.
If you need to give a gift, an Amazon gift card is a neat way. A person with an Amazon account can just put the number from this card into their account, and the money will wait there until they order something and be applied in whole or in part to their order. No hassles, no time limits, no pressure.
