This is the second book in the Val Shapiro series by Parker
Blue. TRY ME has Val feeling a little more sure of herself
and her abilities. In the beginning,
there is a perplexing issue with Dan, who is suddenly
giving Val the cold shoulder, but we the reader don't care
much because there is a new man in Val's life: Shade. This
intriguing new character is a shadow demon whose handsome
countenance is only revealed when he's physically touching
someone. In addition, the mystery man is no longer a
mystery and Val finally feels like she's got some extended
family via the demon community. Val is starting to think
maybe she doesn't need to try so hard to rectify things
with her mother after all. That's when things start to go
wonky of course! A new vamp rises above the others,
claiming they want to go public and start up donor sites
where humans can come and be willing donors, rather than
become unwilling victims in the streets to single, roaming
vampires. Shortly thereafter, vamps start acting psychotic
and out of control at the blood banks, killing people in a
frenzy. To make matters worse? Val's little sister has
decided that volunteering at the local blood bank is great
idea!
This book is much smoother then the first and you
can tell that Ms. Blue has really gotten a handle on her
characters. This story has much better tension, more
romance, a larger cast of characters and a more intense
mystery. I liked it much better then the first all the way
around! I am now eager to move on to the next book in the
series---well done, Ms. Blue!
This part-demon teen vampire fighter and her faithful
terrier hellhound are once again patrolling the dark city
streets of San Antonio, Texas. Val's hunky human partner,
Detective Dan Sullivan, is giving her the cold shoulder
since she beheaded his vampire ex-fiancée. Vamp leader
Alejandro is struggling to keep the peace between vamps,
demons and humans. The mucho powerful Encyclopedia Magicka
has been stolen, someone in the Demon Underground is
poisoning vamps, and Val's inner lust demon, Lola, is
getting very restless since Val's now partnered with sexy
Shade, the shadow demon with the blond good looks of an
angel. The second book in Parker Blue's Demon Underground
urban fantasy series plunges readers deeper into a heady
world of passion, friendship, intrigue and mystery. Parker
Blue lives in the wilds of Colorado with her own faithful
hellhound, and she's hard at work on the next Val Shapiro
book in the Demon Underground series.
