Brittany Baldizzi is a dentist in Las Vegas. She's also half vampire. She had an uncontrolled passionate encounter a few weeks ago and now she finds herself pregnant. By a vampire. And not just any vampire. The father is Corbin Atelier, a French vampire from the days of the French Revolution. Their baby will only be a quarter human, but that's enough to make it a "daywalker," who doesn't need blood to survive. And there's a group of vampires who will do almost anything to get Brittany and her baby, because the baby can be used to create a new race of beings. Having control of that possibility would mean power -- lots of power.

BLED DRY is a great continuation of Ms. McCarthy's Vegas Vampire series. Brittany is feisty, yet vulnerable. She's loving, yet has an acerbic wit. Corbin is a very lovable mix of modern-day research scientist and 18th century French aristocrat. They're a great couple together, as unlikely as it seems, and they love each other. What more could you ask for? Great story, fabulous characters and a really cool setting. Pick up the entire Vegas Vampire trilogy by Ms. McCarthy, HIGH STAKES, BIT THE JACKPOT and BLED DRY. You'll like it. You'll really like it.
