Romance Paranormal
Four years ago, overcome by hunger, Blake Richards took too
much from a young woman, and turned her to save her life.
Now Meghan Thomas is like him, a vampire… and their initial
attraction has turned to anger and distrust. She hates what
he has made her, but when a vicious killer threatens
Manhattan's vampire community, Meghan has no choice but to
turn to him—her sire.
Blake is reckless and brash.
Meghan is young and untried. Alone, they are no match for
the killer. But with the fates of humans and vampires alike
depending on them, their only hope is to trust in their
blood bond....
I'm just about to finish Fury Calls and, I have to tell you, it's my favourite out of the series so far.
Not only is it passionate and thrilling, it's also the darkest of the Calling books that you've written.
The emotion is so real and so tangible that it leaps off the page. Blake is such a layered hero that it is a pleasure to get to know him, to experience what he's been through.
I love how Blake and Meghan come together, how they must learn to trust each other. You've created a romance that is the ultimate embodiment of romance.
I can't wait to see how it all ends! I've only got 30 pages to go until the end!
Thank you for sharing this behind the scenes look at Blake, Meghan and Fury Calls! I can't wait for the next Calling novel!
Cheers, Jamieson (Jamieson Wolf 8:20am March 4)
This is such a great behind the scenes look. I love The Calling series and can't wait to get into Fury. Thanks, Caridad. (Kaye Manro 9:12am March 4)
One of the things I've noticed is that when an author, such as yourself, develops relationships with their characters, the book is much more readable. The characters do, indeed, come to life for the reader. (LuAnn Morgan 4:09pm March 4)
Enjoyed Holiday With A Vampire. Look forward to reading more in The Calling Series. If an author isn't involved with his/her characters, it shows and the story suffers. The more involved, the better you know them and the more "realistic" the stories. Keep up the good writing. (Patricia Barraclough 10:02pm March 4)
:) I saw this at Wal-Mart today! CONGRATULATIONS!! (Rachael Grime 2:26pm March 7)

I have read most of Caridad's books. She is great. I am picking up her newest book this week. Why don't I already have it? I have been home in bed with the flu. NOT a good bed companion. Have a great day and hugs to all. (Fannie Wiggins 10:03am March 10)
I have been a fan for a long time and couldn't miss a chance to wish you a happy birthday!!! (Kirsten Kimball 11:27am March 10)
Happy Birthday week, Caridad. I see I'm going to have to run out as soon as I can to get Fury Calls. Of course, I just got my car back after a 2nd wreck in half a year, so the DH doesn't want me getting out. Hmmm, maybe I could impose on him to stop :-) Thanks Julie (Julie Robinson 11:44am March 10)
Oh, Caridad, I have a question: When you say that there's been an interesting development with Connie and Hadrian, I'm wondering if, as a writer, you had planned this new turn, or if it came out as you were writing? Thanks, Julie (Julie Robinson 11:46am March 10)
I had not planned the interesting twist that happens with Connie and Hadrian in HOLIDAY WITH A VAMPIRE. What happened is that I had a poll on the website to ask what people would like to see happen with Diana and Ryder. The result of that poll made me think about how I could accomplish the reader's wishes! I hope you do like that twist and I promise you that I am trying to continue the series so we can see it happen! (Caridad Pineiro 12:14pm March 10)
And oops - Caridad Scordato is me, Caridad Pineiro! I'll have to change that on my profile. (Caridad Pineiro 12:15pm March 10)
I love this post, Caridad! I love characters, and yours rock! (Kaye Manro 12:23pm March 10)
Happy Birthday Can't wait to read Fury Calls (Jean Patton 2:35pm March 10)
Hola, Caridad,
I'm just back from my doctor's office and a stop at WalMart. There are now only two copies of Fury Calls left on the racks!
Pat Cochran (Patricia Cochran 3:59pm March 10)
I just realized that I'm on some sites as Jeanne and some as Catslady - so from the both of us :) Happy Birthday. (Jeanne Sheats 4:26pm March 10)
Caridad, Happy Birthday and may youday be filled with lots of laughter,happiness and love! (Tamara Bennington 12:11pm March 11)
Feliz cumpleaños, Caridad. (It's been a long time since high school Spanish class, so I hope I got that right.) As I read the description of "Fury Calls" and the whole series, I'm wondering why I haven't picked up these books before now. I'm especially intrigued by a different vampire culture from the East. (Auriette Lindsey 12:28pm March 11)
Hi Caridad! Fury Calls sounds fantabulous! I will be adding it to be TBR list immediately! (Tonya Williams 8:08am March 11)
I'm a little behind the times. This is the first I have followed any of the "calling" series books! I can't wait to dive in! (Dawn Howe 8:13am March 11)
Hola, Caridad,
Happy Birthday Week!
How is the celebration going? I hope you are having a great day!
Pat Cochran (Patricia Cochran 1:11pm March 11)
Having a great b'day week and it's so nice to be able to share some time with all of you! Thanks for dropping by! (Caridad Pineiro 3:17pm March 11)
Happy birthday don't party to much (Patricia Kasner 7:55pm March 11)
Happy birthday!
Honor Calls and Fury Calls sound great! (Amy Smith 10:25pm March 11)
happy birthday and the party keeps going; wahoo. (Robyn Lee 2:35am March 12)
I'm thinking of adopting your idea of a week-long special celebration for my birthday! This is such great fun! I know my grandchildren would enjoy such a gathering, they are always up for a party! I want to wish you a "Happy Day 4" and many happy returns of the day!
Pat Cochran (Patricia Cochran 2:53pm March 12)
I'm heee-re, a bit late, but most definitely wishing you a Happy Day 5!!!
Pat Cochran (Patricia Cochran 7:18pm March 13)
Just a quick note to thank you for inviting us to participate in the week's activities!
Pat Cochran (Patricia Cochran 3:18pm March 14)
This was the first of your books I have read and I have to say it was a Pleasure. What a great story. I look forward to reading more. (Freyjah S. 6:30pm March 24)
