Lanie Weber leads a double life. A librarian by day, she also volunteers for the fire department -- a little dose of adventure to remind her of her days traveling around the world with her father. When Lanie's father is killed while doing research in the Amazon jungle, Lanie can't believe it and insists on seeing his body for herself.

A retired Navy SEAL, Mac Knight now runs his own charter airline. He's unhappy about having to fly some chick through the Amazon jungle, but money is money. When Mac and Lanie arrive at the research lab where her father worked, his body and that of another man that was killed with him have gone missing. Confusion abounds as they search for the bodies, and when they find a very strange surveillance video and an even stranger statue, Lanie has to expand her theories of what has happened.

The Chupacabra is supposed to be a mythical creature that's a statue by day and a blood-sucking vampire at night. Lanie and Mac find out the hard way how real the Chupacabra is when Mac is bitten. As they fight to keep Mac alive and to find Lanie's father, their love grows. But will Mac's ever increasing urge to suck her blood send Lanie running?

I really enjoyed OUT OF THE NIGHT -- a great vampire story that defies your expectations. It's a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it.
