Romance Paranormal

Sarah Dearly is a recently turned vampire thanks to a bad blind date. She's learning the ropes from a multiple- century-old master vampire, Thierry, who also happens to be her new boyfriend. He's a little aloof and Sarah does not understand why.

While out for a run, a vampire hunter tries to take her out. Sarah isn't much of a fighter and nervousness turns her into quite the talker. When Sarah tries to talk the hunter out of killing her, she lets it slip that her boyfriend is none other than Thierry. The hunter calls Sarah the Slayer, cowers and begs her not to kill him. Sarah is perplexed by his actions, but nonetheless extremely happy he's decided not to kill her. She goes along with his comments and lets him know that she'll let him live for now.

Later, Sarah learns that she has a bit of a reputation. She is known as the Slayer of Slayers because she shot and killed the last vampire hunter, a well-known hunter, who was trying to kill her. She was just protecting herself.

Thierry wants Sarah to let the reputation stand. He's heard that the hunters' leader is on his way to town to kill her. He also wonders if her reputation will bring the vampire council to town. Thierry thinks they'll have a good chance of killing this lethal vampire hunter.

Quinn is a newly turned vampire. A vampire hunter before being bit, he knows the lethal tracking skills of the hunters' leader. He does not like Thierry using Sarah as bait. Quinn is attracted to Sarah and she thinks he's good looking. He plans to teach her self-defense before she becomes dust at the hands of the hunters. One thing leads to another and soon they're lip-locking. Sarah's timing being what it is, Thierry decides to show up just as Quinn has her pinned on the floor.

Thierry decides to leave town. Sarah decides to fight for his love and to get herself out of this strange predicament. She doesn't know how, but she just might save the day. Sometimes a woman has to do what she has to do.

Michelle Rowen has wittily penned a vampire novel with a delightfully endearing heroine. FANGED & FABULOUS is a cute story that's sure to make you chuckle.

SUMMARY

My name is Sarah Dearly, and I've got major problems. Last month, I was turned into a vampire by the world's worst blind date. Then I may have, totally by accident, started a war between the mostly peaceful bloodsuckers and a bunch of sociopathic vamp hunters who have nicknamed me the Slayer of Slayers.

Now I'm being used as bait to draw out the hunters' bad-ass leader, while my gorgeous 600-year- old boyfriend Thierry seems to be blowing me off, and my sizzle-hot, fanged friend Quinn is trying to turn my self- defense lessons into make-out sessions.

So you know what? I'm done. I've had it. There comes a time when a vamp has to just suck it up and go after what she wants. And as soon as I figure out what that is, that's exactly what I'll do...
