Beatrice Davis is on leave from her job as a psychometrist for the Otherworlder Enforcement Agency, the paranormal equivalent of the F.B.I. She doesn't like to be inactive so when an early visitor arrives at her door she is ready to play VAMPIRE GAMES.

Claude Desmarais is a vampire and a detective for the Chicago Paranormal Unit, but for right now he is working on something on his own. In his possession is a branding iron that he believes is evidence belonging to a serial killer. He needs Beatrice to touch the item and give him a vision imprinted on it. When she does ... it isn't exactly what he wants to hear. Her vision implicates the Magister, the vampire leader for Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa and Claude's friend.

With that vision an old nightmare of her brother's disappearance when she was a child comes back with a vengeance. Also with the past that she and Claude share, though he at the time called it an affair, she can't let him go at this alone. Is she trying to help him or find answers for herself?

VAMPIRE GAMES grabs you from the first word and holds you with the dialogue, action and intrigue to the last. I loved the tough persona that Beatrice shows the world but as the reader turns the pages they find that she is very much a woman with deep feelings. Claude's regret of how they ended years before is visible from the beginning and it is fun to watch how he works to convince her that he was wrong to walk away. The romantic moments he does manage to entice her into adds quite a bit of steam to this investigative storyline. I have read author Tiffany Allee's OEWA books before and really hope she continues them because each one gets better and better. Her ability to bring to life a world that mixes cops with vampires and magic is a fun read and this one is going in my read again list.
