The Vampire's Seduction
Raven Hart

Reviewed by Sheila Graves
Posted March 10, 2006

Paranormal

William Cuyler Thorne is old-money Savannah, a leader in society; but he's much older than society knows. He's a vampire, old-school in some ways, thoroughly modern in others. William is secretly bringing his contemporaries to America to get them away from the old European vampires and the likes of Reedrek, his sire. Then a transport yacht turns up with the crew and passengers dead or missing. William knows Reedrek has come to America to claim his rights as sire and to begin a bloodbath no one in this century could imagine. With his sidekick, Jack, a good old boy who's only been a vampire since the Civil War, and the help of a voodoo priestess, along with a vial of the blood of a voodoo queen, William sets out to end the reign of terror Reedrek has begun. Along the way, they get help from a magician/illusionist, a top-run leading man out of Hollywood and a national champion stock car driver -- all vamps William has brought to America. THE VAMPIRE'S SEDUCTION was a real treat to read. Different from any vampire story I've read lately, it snagged my interest at once and kept me glued to the pages until the end. I can't wait for the story to continue. The characters are totally fresh and immediately likable, which left me yearning to learn more about them and the rest of the story. Pick this one up the first time you see it; I don't think it'll stay long on the shelf. An excellent read! (Note: Raven Hart is the pseudonym of veteran romance writers Virginia Ellis and Susan Goggins. In January, Ms. Ellis died of a heart condition, so we're not sure how Del Rey will handle the continuation of this proposed series. We'll keep readers informed as we know more.)

SUMMARY

When it comes to a wild and seductive nightlife, Savannah has bite. Older than the United States and wealthy beyond his years, playboy William Cuyler Thorne is a vampire with a nice long undead life—one that includes a steady stream of admirers, a consistent supply of rejuvenating blood, and, best of all, a cover as one of Savannah’s most prominent pillars of society. But all good things must end. Now an ancient enemy has come for William from across the seas. It is his sire, Reedrek, the vampire who created him. And Reedrek will stop at nothing until all that is precious to William—his beautiful mistress, his stable of willing female victims, his glorious estates, and his good-ol’-boy vampire sidekick, Jack—is within his voracious grasp. But William has an arsenal of his own—one that is enhanced by the power of voodoo. And when these two bloodsuckers meet, there will be hell to pay.
