Eleisha Clevon has the face of a teen angel, but she is no angel. Unlike most vampires, she doesn’t like to kill, but self-preservation comes first.

When an old friend destroys himself by walking into sunlight right in front of her, Eleisha is shocked. And what she finds afterwards points to how very sick of his existence her friend had become—piling drained corpses in the basement and keeping records of other vampires’ real names and addresses. That’s a problem.

Because now, there are policemen on the case: two very special humans with some gifts of their own. They know who Eleisha is, and, even more dangerous, what she is.

Sending out in my Shrinking Romance BookBox.

Taking this one from Loriped's Shrinking Romance Bookbox. This one looks good! I haven't heard of this author, but it looks interesting.

My Review: This is a really great vampire book. There are a lot of interesting characters. Elisha is the main character, but she's interesting and strong, not wimpy or full of angst or ennui. Refreshing first book in this vampire series. I'm going to look for more in this series.

Removed from emmejo's vampire bookbox.

This is the start of a series and as such is a little bogged down in the backstory, but it was fairly good. It is just vampires (at least for now) - no other supes inhabit this world - and for the most part, they are solitary, living and hunting alone. The story revolves around Eleisha - a servant girl changed in the 1800s and caring for William, her employer who was turned after he started exhibiting signs of what appears to be Alzheimer's. In this canon, vampires have a trait that varies from one to the other that assists them in hunting their prey. For some it's sexual attractiveness or engendering intense fear; for Eleisha it's the ability to make people want care for her. She gives off enormous damsel-in-distress vibes. As the story progresses, we see that while she still uses this power to her advantage, she is no cowering heroine. She has taken on the bad guys and come out stronger for it. This is a more contemporary Gothic type novel, slightly reminiscent of Rice's vampires or maybe even some of the early Anita Blake series. It is a darker series and at least right now it's mostly horror / fantasy with no romance. There are more in the series and I may try to get to them eventually as there is a lot of potential in it.
