Holly Bosley does not like her job at Sunnyside Cemetery.
It's only temporary until she resumes her classes, but
still, visions of zombies dance in her head every time
she goes to her workplace at night. One evening, back at
home from work, she notices she forgot important things
at the office. So, she throws on a coat over her flannel
pajamas with the pink bunnies and quickly drives to work.
It's around midnight, only one employee should be there,
but she hears two voices. Nothing prepared her for the
gruesome spectacle she faces. Justin and Anders are the
two men she heard, vampires actually, who had just
captured and killed bad vampires, and are at Sunnyside to
dispose of the ghastly remains. Holly understandably
panics, grabbing a pair of scissors along the way. Justin
runs after her. She stabs him, trips and falls on her
scissors. Justin is nonplussed because he felt that Holly
is his life mate, but she's dying and even though he
doesn't know her, he turns her. Justin can deal with the
unknown. If Holly is "The One," it'll work out in the
end, only there's one huge and unforeseen problem: Holly
is married!
Being a long-time fan of this series, I admit I found the
premise for ABOUT A VAMPIRE intriguing, and I was
wondering how the author would circumnavigate around
certain essential details. In Lynsay Sands' vampire
world, a life mate is the road to perfect happiness and
lots of hot, sweaty, mind-blowing sex. There is only one
life mate for every vampire, and the laws are strict: you
cannot interfere with destiny. How Ms. Sands deals
with the fact that Holly is married is brilliant!
ABOUT A VAMPIRE is a sweeter story than the other instalments in
the Argeneau series, albeit with all the funny
banter and superb characters we expect. Anyone new to
the series will find all the necessary background to
enjoy this fabulous story. Holly had surprisingly few
difficulties adapting to being a vampire, but Justin had
a terrible time at trying to woo a woman, which made for
some very amusing scenes. And fear not faithful readers
of the series, there is quite of bit of sexy stuff, just
not how we are used to, and kudos to Lynsay Sands for
finding new ways to keep us entertained and anxious for
yet more Argeneau vampires. ABOUT A VAMPIRE is bloody
fun!
In New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands'
new
Argeneau novel, a vampire accustomed to seducing every
woman he meets finds the one determined to resist him . .

blood, and a sexy stranger who insists they belong
together. She needs Bricker's help to control her new
abilities, even as she tries to resist his relentless

eternity he offers is impossible. But Justin is fighting
for his life mate—maybe even his life—and he'll break
every rule to do it . . .
