Allie Telford is struggling with her job as a paranormal
investigator for the U. S. division of the United Psychical
Research Association. As a summoner, her task is to call
ghosts into perceptible being and record them to provide
proof of their existence to the rest of the world. Thus far
she has failed, but she is certain to her bones that this is
the field for her. It's just that her powers are a bit
erratic and cantankerous.
On a scheduled ghost hunt in merry old England her senses
inform her that something soulless lurks in the basement of
the decrepit building. She follows the psychic trail which
leads her to a dank, dark room where she finds a (very) buff
man spread out on a table bleeding from hundreds of cuts.
The man, however, declines to be rescued and in fact
disappears when she goes off to seek aid.
Having promised a good friend that she will attend a book
signing to gain the signature of the famed vampire romance
author C. J. Dante her summoning activities must be put on
hold. Imagine her amazement when the author turns out to be
a dead ringer for the man she last saw bleeding all over a
haunted basement!
SEX AND THE SINGLE VAMPIRE is book two in Katie MacAlister's
acclaimed series, reprinted with a delicious new cover. I
enjoy all the books but I have a special soft spot for
Allie, she is probably my favorite character. Although the
first book, A Girl's Guide to Vampires was quite
good and of course funny, I think this second book is where
MacAlister hit her stride with her trademark humor. If you
haven't read the series before, I encourage you to take this
opportunity to give it a try. I doubt you will regret it.
If you are a diehard fan, here's your chance to replace your
tattered copies on the keeper shelf with brand new editions
that will last for the next fifty readings.
Romance novelist Christian Dante is sexy and arrogant, a
true alpha male. He's also a Dark One (aka vampire), doomed
to spend eternity cruising the singles scene in search of
the one woman who can redeem his soul. But finally he's
found the love that Fate has chosen for him. Too bad she
sees dead people and likes to play with demons.
Allie Telford is a Summoner—and she needs to rustle up a
ghost pretty darn quick or her paranormal career will be
over. Luckily, she's just stumbled upon a naked and
unquestionably hot specter in a haunted hotel . . . who
looks disturbingly like the tall, dark, handsome fantasy man
who's been coming to Allie in her dreams. But it seems he's
no phantom after all—he's a real flesh-and-blood-fed
immortal who's determined to make Allie his lover for
forever . . . or longer. Which may not be a totally bad
thing . . .
