Re: Fury Calls (12:28pm March 11, 2009):

Feliz cumpleaños, Caridad. (It's been a long time since high school Spanish class, so I hope I got that right.) As I read the description of "Fury Calls" and the whole series, I'm wondering why I haven't picked up these books before now. I'm especially intrigued by a different vampire culture from the East.
