Summary: A Great Vampire Novel!!!!!
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!

Summary: VERY GGOD
Review: I read a great variety of books and have read several of Shannon Drakes. This book was one you won't put down and will stay up reading under the covers with a flashlight.

Summary: Excellent read
Review: I started being a fan of Ms Drake with her book When Darkness Falls. After reading this book, I was anxious to read another one just like it. I went on ... and found this one. This story is the first in this series. It's the story of Maggie. Maggie is a vampire. A good vampire. Who has lived for many years. Now in her town of New Orleans there are murders that look like the work of her old enemy, another vampire. She meets a police detective who is human and falls in love. When his family is in danger and her friends are in danger, they join forces to conquer the evil and somewhere they find a way to make their dreams come true.

Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: I thought the story was well written and developed. I loved the characters and had a great time reading it. I was hoping she had more books written on the same theme. I really enjoy romance novels with bite. Please continue on with this theme and I will buy them. A new fan!

Summary: A Vampire Novel with some history!
Review: I tip my hat to Ms. Drake for including some interesting myths and historical tidbits on Vampires. I actually found in a great addition to the book. I can't stand vampire novels where someone announces that they are a vampire and everyone just believes. The history, research, and healthy skepticism were needed to make the characters believable. That being said I think there were a lot of details that were never explained. I hope Lucian's books follows up!

Summary: Not a good Vampire Romance
Review: I was disappointed in this book. This is not a vampire romance it's more of a horror suspence novel regarding Jack the Ripper. Too much gore and not enough romance.
Rating:
Summary: Very Suspenseful
Review: I'm not a big fan of vampire novels, but I truly enjoyed this one from start to finish. Trust me, I read romance novels daily - far too many really! - and I can honestly say that this is worth the money it goes for. The writing was suspenseful and sexy - two qualities that are a must for me to read more than one book by an author. I will DEFINATELY be reading this author again.END

Summary: a fast-paced exciting vampire romance
Review: I've never read Shannon Drake before, but if this is any indication of her work, I plan on reading more! I enjoy supernatural romances with some suspense thrown in and this qualified. This was a fast read, I read it at one sitting. The characters were very believable and the book left the reader wanting more. I'm waiting impatiently for the follow-up books in this series.

Summary: Not her best work.
Review: I've read several of Shannon Drake/Heather Graham books and I didn't think this was her best work.
