They killed me. They healed me. They changed me.
Sure,
the life of a graduate student wasn’t exactly glamorous, but I was
doing fine until Chicago’s vampires announced their existence to the
world. When a rogue vampire attacked me, I was lucky he only got a sip.
Another bloodsucker scared him off and decided the best way to save my
life was to make me the walking undead.
Now I’ve traded sweating
over my thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of
vamps loyal to Ethan “Lord o’ the Manor” Sullivan. Of course, as a tall,
green-eyed,
four-hundred-year-old vampire, he has centuries’ worth of charm, but unfortunately he expects my gratitude—and servitude. Right…
But someone’s out to get me. Is it the rogue vampire who bit me? A vamp from a rival House? An angry mob bearing torches?
My initiation into Chicago’s nightlife may be the first skirmish in a war—and there will be blood.

Title: Blood Rights
Author: Kristen Painter
Rebellion has a price.
The
lacy gold mapped her entire body. A finely wrought filigree of stars,
vines, flowers, butterflies, ancient symbols and words ran from her
feet, up her legs, over her narrow waist, spanned her chest and finished
down her arms to the tips of her fingers.
Born into a life
of secrets and service, Chrysabelle's body bears the telltale marks of a
comarré—a special race of humans bred to feed vampire nobility. When
her patron is murdered, she becomes the prime suspect, which sends her
running into the mortal world...and into the arms of Malkolm, an outcast
vampire cursed to kill every being from whom he drinks.
Now,
Chrysabelle and Malkolm must work together to stop a plot to merge the
mortal and supernatural worlds. If they fail, a chaos unlike anything
anyone has ever seen will threaten to reign.
Title: Undead and Unwed
Author: MaryJanice Davidson
It'a been a helluva
week for Betsy Taylor. First, she loses her job. Then, to top things
off, she's killed in a car accident. But what really bites (besides
waking up in the morgue dressed in a pink suit and cheap shoes courtesy
of her stepmother) is that she can't seem to stay dead. Every night she
rises with a horrible craving for blood. She's not taking too well to a
liquid diet.
Worst of all, her new friends have the ridiculous
idea that Betsy is the prophesied vampire queen, and they want her help
in overthrowing the most obnoxious, power-hungry vampire in five
centuries - a badly dressed Bela Lugosi wannabe, natch. Frankly, Betsy
couldn't care less about vamp politics, but they have a powerful weapon
of persuasion: designer shoes. How can any self-respecting girl say no?
But a collection of Ferragamos isn't the only temptation for Betsy. It's
just a lot safer than the scrumptious Sinclair - a seductive
bloodsucker whose sexy gaze seems as dangerous as a stake through the
heart...
