Diana Reyes, a suspended special agent for the F.B.I., is
caught between two worlds. Her lover Ryder Latimer is a
vampire and during a botched raid, part of which caused her
suspension, her body was contaminated by Ryder's blood and
it has slowly been killing her. While friends and Ryder
work to save her she is torn between a promise she made to
her dying father and her new love. She has to figure out
how TO LOVE AND SERVE.
Assistant Director in Charge, Jesus Hernandez, asks for her
help much to Ryder's displeasure, because he feels the ADIC
has done little to get her badge back. As Diana is drawn
slowly back into her world, Ryder is pulled into his with a
Slayer killing off young vampires. They have a treaty with
Slayers, only vampires who kill can be killed and only
those sanctioned. These are unsanctioned and that makes
this slayer a rogue and very dangerous ... not just to his
kind but also to humans.
TO LOVE AND SERVE is an intriguing twist on action/police
storylines. Author Caridad Pineiro gives us cops and
special agents with the hidden element of vampires and
slayers who are still a secret from most humans. You will
be quickly thrown into the lives of Diana and Ryder and you
don't have to have read any other book as the background
information is given in perfect little bites. After some
research I found that this is a republishing of the
author's The Calling, vampire series (now called Reborn).
It is a stand alone that will have you reading until you
get to the last page and wanting more. I will certainly be
looking for the next one.
Five years ago, vampire Ryder Latimer stepped into the path
of a bullet meant for FBI Agent Diana Reyes, at once saving
her life and condemning her to death when his blood
contaminates her open wounds. Now only an experimental
treatment, transfusions, and allowing Ryder to sink his
teeth into her when they make love keep her alive.
Born to Survive…
Ryder has always known that no matter what they try, Diana
can’t possibly survive what contact with his blood did to
her. The reality for him is that no matter how much he loves
her, he will lose her if he doesn’t turn her—a choice Diana
may have put off for too long.
Born to Serve…
Even as her health continues to deteriorate and they battle
with that difficult decision, Diana tracks a serial killer
targeting their vampire friends. It’s a dangerous job, but
she was born to it and, with Ryder’s help, she’ll serve and
protect until the day she dies—or until a miracle turns
their world upside down.
