Review: Amnesia and work related hassles become the least of Leslie's worries when she discovers she has become a vampire. Though this has some advantages, among them a healing gift, the need for blood and the facts that she is now part of a centuries old war with other vampires and demonic deities of legend are drawbacks. To have the man she has come to love, to have a life, she must


This is certainly not the usual vampire novel. Bringing together elements never before mixed, Ms. Custer creates a unique setting in which other worlds are only a heartbeat away, or less if your heart no longer beats.

Ms. Custer has a winner here. I was taken into her world of vampires and the Undead.

Leslie Taite is a respiratory therapist who is mildly handicapped, and is taunted by her co-workers and one of her brothers, who blames Leslie for their mother's death. She is always being called stupid or some other euphemism because she is "slow".

Leslie comes to blame herself for things that go wrong in her life, especially on her job, and her mother's death.

Leslie is employed by the Betsy Ross hospital, and tries really hard to do the job at hand perfectly. She gets really upset when things happen very fast and she doesn't completely understand the instructions or doesn't get them done fast enough to suit her boss or co-workers.

This happens with one or her patients, and she leaves the hospital in an upset state one night. She has an accident and develops amnesia as a result of a head injury. She has selected memories, but a lot of her recent memories are gone.

She is saved by a man that she knows slightly, who later becomes her friend and protector, Alex Wallach.

During this time, there are some murders and attacks on some of the hospital workers, and bats have been seen around the hospital. They sit on window ledges outside Leslie's room. Leslie is terrified by them and terrorized by her co-workers.

Ms. Custer brings out the best in Leslie and has her becoming Undead/Immortal in this story. (Leslie finds out that Alex is Undead, and he changes her into being Undead also, when she faces actual death from being attacked by Drusilla, a vampire that hates Leslie.) Leslie agrees to her "turning" Undead, as she faces certain death otherwise.

Meanwhile, she falls with love with Alex and they both face Hades and his minions so that they can survive.

Ms. Custer has a winner here. And I'm sure you will enjoy this book. She makes vampirism and Undead believable. A must read for the horror enthusiast.
