Caroline learns that her uncle has been killed in a horrible
fashion, turning her average lifestyle upside down. When she
goes to recover the remains, she meets Jude, a vampire
hunter. Jude suggests something that Caroline at first
dismisses, that her uncle may have been murdered by a
vampire. What does Caroline truly believe? Are there huge
warning signs ahead of what is to come?
Caroline is a likable character. The reader will get to know
her and like her. She is a little bit dependent on the
"hero" of the novel, which can be annoying, rather than
standing on her own two feet. However, she still makes for a
good character. The hero, Jude, will entice the reader to
continue reading. His strong perseverance and belief in the
paranormal world makes for an interesting read. Their
romance slowly develops over the course of the book, a nice
touch to a paranormal story.
The mythology behind ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT is
intriguing. The reader will love attempting to rationalize
the mythology with the book. Truthfully, the romance and
mystery is interesting, but it is Piper Maitland's take on
vampires that will pull the reader into the story. The
reader will have to really take the time to think about the
scientific background to vampires and the endless
possibilities. Vampire fans look out for this one!
A woman's quest for the truth...A medieval icon that holds

they know...
