Rafe DaSilva is the right hand to the queen of the energy
vampires (evamps). They are beings that soak up the sun and,
and, on rare occasions, from the energy of humans around them.
them.
The secret to the evamps good health is that the humans
must be clean without drugs or alcohol or disease. If a
vampire chooses the wrong partner they transform into
sycophants and they become a threat to both evamps and
humans. Never having had a problem with attraction toward
humans before, Rafe is surprised by the sudden THIRST he
feels toward the human with a badge trying to solve
something that he can't allow her to solve: a human's death
at the hands of an evamp.
Detective Renee Holden comes into the picture as a homicide
detective with a very strange murder on her hands. The
witness swears she saw a vampire. Right. This death
is hard enough to explain with the man healthy as a horse
until he had a heart attack and except for the twin puncture
wounds on the back of his neck Renee wouldn't even wonder.
Not that vampires are real but there are crazies who believe
they are those beings and if so her job is to find him and
stop him.
Enter one sexy, fascinating being, in a health food
grocery store no less. She can't get distracted that's easy
to say if the man in front of her wasn't so enticing.
Little
does Detective Renee know that this "man" is about to lead
her into a world she never believed existed and just might
not survive.
Whenever I pick up a Jacquelyn Frank book I know I will
find myself in an intriguing, beguiling world that I won't
want to leave. THIRST is just such a book. The action
starts from the first page and continues to the last, with
the reader wishing for more. Rafe is an interesting mixture
of bad-ass and suave, debonair man. Renee is also a
bad-ass; a smart and determined woman who isn't so quick to
let this stranger into her world but when she does,
wow! The build up of the romance and the steamy are
equally amazing to read. I have to admit I do appreciate the
caution that Renee used when it came to Rafe, after all it
fit her police training mentality and would have been a bit
out of character to be too trusting right away. The bad guys
are just dreadful and the supporting characters including
her police partner are realistic and absorbing. If you are
looking for a book that will hold you in it's grip, with
characters you will love and the perfect amount of romance
with equal intriguing action then THIRST is just what you
need.
Rafe DaSilva is an energy vampire, soaking up nourishment
from the sun—and, only when necessary, drawing sweet
sustenance from humans who are pure in body and spirit. As
the right-hand man to his queen, Rafe is a key player at a
historic peace summit in New York City, which will unite the
vampire nations against a common threat: the sycophants, who
feed on humanity and kill indiscriminately. But Rafe’s
fascination with a beautiful blond police detective may put
everything at risk.
Detective Renee Holden has never worked a homicide quite
like this. The victim has twin puncture wounds on his neck,
and the only eyewitness swears she saw a vampire. Now’s
definitely not the time to get distracted by a seductive
stranger. But the suave, darkly austere, exotically handsome
Rafe DaSilva is a hard man to deny, and as Renee falls under
his spell, she also falls prey to his enemies. Desperate to
protect her, Rafe lifts the veil on a shadow realm she can
only visit—a world of intoxicating power, terrifying
dangers, and forbidden pleasures.
