Description
No good deed goes unpunished. That’s what they always say, isn’t it?
Haitian relief coordinator Dr. Mason Walker didn’t expect to begin his day staring down the barrel of an AK-47 wielded by a 12-year-old child soldier.
He also didn’t expect to end it with the revelation that the darkly beautiful, otherworldly woman he’s just met is truly otherworldly, in the most literal sense of the word.
She claims to be a vampire. But Mason is a doctor. A man of science. And everyone knows that vampires are just a superstitious response to the medical condition porphyria, combined with ignorance about the behavior of corpses after burial.
Besides, he has bigger things to worry about right now. Haiti’s war orphans are going missing. And when they return, they are…changed. Mason suspects rebel military commanders of brainwashing them with a new cocktail of drugs, turning innocent children into mindless killing machines.
When his delusional but strangely alluring muse and her eccentric friends decide to get to the bottom of the mystery, Mason is tipped headfirst into a world that will make him question the very foundations of his reality.
And if they’re not very, very careful, someone’s going to end up dead before the night is over.

Tricia Wright –
This book the third in this unusual and exciting series features only three of the original six vampires, I say original because there are now eight vampires in total. Oksana, Duchess and my personal favorite Zander are in Haiti where Oksana was born. Whilst there they meet Mason Walker, he’s a doctor working with Doctors Without Borders helping the children in this war-torn country.
Oksana recognizes Mason as the reincarnation of her former husband almost as soon as they meet, it only took one touch of skin to skin. But as she has never forgiven herself for the death of her husband she tries everything she can to avoid him. She doesn’t want to turn him into a vampire even if it is what the prophecy says must happen in order to defeat Bayel, the demon responsible for making them into vampires and for so much evil happening in the world.
Mason tells them that children are being taken from the villages and when they return they seem to be zombie-like, he puts it down to a new drug but our vampires know that this must be the work of Bayel. So the three vampires and Mason attempt to find a way to rescue them. But during the rescue, things go badly wrong, resulting in the near-death of all concerned.
This series has captivated my interest, these vampires are like no others and their stories so far have moved me immensely. In this story, though I did think that Oksana took a little too long to accept the gift she was being given. I love Mason, he is such a good man and I’m sure will go on to do even more for mankind. But the real hero of this book for me was Zander I really can’t wait to learn his story.
The narration is excellent, this book once again is narrated by Gwendolyn Druyor an excellent voice actress who uses a variety of accents speaks both slow and fast and gives each and every character a distinct personality bringing the story to life beautifully.
