Summary: Good, but could be better
Review: I have read the first and second part of Drake's series, and the first one (Blood Red Moon) is better. I did appreciate the steamy romance, but was disappointed by the numerous typos. Also, the villain's physical appearance is wrongly described. The first mention of him says that he is dark haired with golden eyes. after that he is said to have blond hair and dark eyes. it did confuse me for a while, and made me believe there were two villains. Also, there are too many secondary unimportant characters, and this muddled the plot. Overall, it was a good read, and I suppose i will read the last installment of the trilogy just to see how it all ends.

Summary: I very much enjoyed this book and read it straight through.
Review: I liked this book very much. There was romance, mystery, and horror all in one story. The romance wasn't a sickening, silly romance and the murders were unusual without totally grossing me out. I liked the atmosphere of New Orleans (I really must visit that city some day!) and the story was a bit unusual. This is definitely a good read for those of us who enjoy a vampire/romance novel. I read this half-way through the first night and finished it the next day. Can't wait to read the sequel!

Summary: Fascinating Account of a Vampire!
Review: I love vampire stories, and I was hesitant on trying a vampire romance since I had tried one before and I was greatly disapointed by another author, boy am I glad I didn't pass this one up!
Ms. Drake(AKA Heather Graham) does a excellent job telling the story of a 200 year old vampire from New Orleans who doesn't think she can love again and does and what she finds is far beyond her dreams.
The back and forth from present day to past was fascinating and I LOVED it! It was like reading two stories at once and then they meshed. Drama, horror and passion, all rolled into one brilliant novel!

~Maggie is the owner of Magdelena's, a boutique in New Orleans that caters to women who love tailormade dresses and clothes to fit them.
The city of the dead, known for its vampires and voodoo comes under attack from a ruthless killer who seems to be copying a hundred-year-old crime again and still is elusive in capture.
Blood drops lead to the quaint shop and to its mysterious owner and Detective Sean Canady must sort through the clues before another victim turns up, more gruesome than the last.
Does the beautiful woman who owns the shop know the killer? Or is she somehow involved...
In a city rampant with death and the occult, fact is sometimes stranger than fiction...

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: I love vampire stories. I am very partial to anything vampire-like and when I found this book, I couldn't resist. The romance between Sean and Maggie is very enduring. At first I wasn't sure what happened to Maggie--did she became a vampire? However, I cannot reveal everything. I also like the reincarnation aspect of the story as well. This is a good vampire book to read and I cannot wait for Drake's next vampire book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was a wonderful read
Review: I loved this book from the very first page. I loved how Shannon kind of had two storys going at once, one about Maggie and one about Magdalena. At first I didn't think they were the same person but I soon figured it out. Every time she started talking about Magdalena I loved it even more because I learned more about how sad she must have been loosing so many of her lovers (I won't tell you who!). I love Vampire books with romance put together it was just to good to be true. I really would recomend this book to ANYONE. I get really sad to see that some people didn't like the book very much and advise you not to listen to thoes weird, messed up people! Thanks for reading my review!

Summary: Pretty good Book
Review: I must admit that I am new to the sub genre of the vampire romance novel. I love the concept but I have just not found many authors that have thrilled me. Ms. Drake has sold me totally on the idea of a sexy, sensual vampire. I automatically pick up Ms. Drake's historic romance books, now I will pick up her Vampire novels as well!

Maggie Montgomery is owns a clothing boutique in the heart of the French Quarter. This is a special store since it has been in her family for generations. There has been a horrid murder in the French Quarter and there are blood drops found outside her backdoor literally. This leads NOPD detective Sean Canady to her doorstep investigating to investigate this beauty in connection to the blood drops found outside. Maggie is stunned and agrees to help in any way possible. Sean is totally drawn to Maggie in a way that he can't understand and begins to pursue the reluctant lady despite the misgivings he has that she is holding something back.

Maggie has secrets that she is not willing to share, she is a vampire. Needless to say Maggie is away of a past that she and Sean (Sean is an old soul as well) share, as well as the return of an enemy that means to destroy all that she has managed to create. She finds herself drawn to Sean and eventually falls in love with him. She still feels bad about keeping a part of her past from the sexy Sean, and her past may have a connection to the murders that are now plaguing the French Quarter. She may know who is performing the frightening "Jack The Ripper" type murders but is unable to prevent them. See the murder may be another vampire. Eventually Maggie must confront not only her past, but love and trust Sean enough to tell him the truth about her in order to help him catch a killer.

This was an incredibly fast paced book, set in one of my favorite places. Ms. Drake created a wonderful set of characters (both main and secondary characters) that really tell their own story. The chemistry between Maggie and Sean is wonderful, and I love Lucian....I can hardly wait until he get to his story! This book held me spell bound and totally changed my outlook on how good a vampire book can be! Do yourself a favor and get this book, full of suspense, and romance!
