It seems that many murders have been happening recently. All of the victims have turned up with all of the blood drained from their body. This is a mystery to the police since they have no idea how this could be happening. While on their way they pass the site of another murder this is the first time Sarah sees Julian Davinoff.

Eventually Sarah finds out and attempts to save Davinoff, but once accomplished what then? Can Sarah actually pull it off and rescue Davinoff?

The worst is yet to come, how will Sarah deal with the knowledge that Davinoff is a vampire? Or the fact that she has growing feelings for the man regardless of what he is? I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found the story was quite able to keep my attention and is well worth the price. |
