    Good story with unexpected twists. Vampires, role playing and lost love renewed keep the story fresh and interesting. And, every woman deserves a friend like Charles and a dog like Lola!

    It started slow, but once it got going it was good. I’m going to read the next book to give it a chance to be more…😊. I hope it will be because I like these types of books with a lot going on.

    This is the first book I read by this author. I enjoy her style of writing, specifically how the characters are built into the story. This book was fun and interesting — I could see the characters in my mind. I will be reading the next novel soon. Enjoy!

    Not my cup of tea. Simplistic plot you can see from a mile away, the author over explaining throughout. Female protagonist helped by a strong male in a position of authority. Yawn. And setting up a straight character with a gay one to engage in coy behavior or dialogue? It’s insulting.
