Just prior to her graduation from St. Vladimir's Academy, almost-guardian Rose has set off and is now in Russia when she meets Sydney, an alchemist who leads her to Demitri's family. After a fight with Victoria and a deal with Abe, Rose goes to Novoskva to kill Strigoi, which are Immortal Vampires with super strength and speed, only to get kidnapped by none other than Demitri himself.

This book can not only tear your heart into tiny pieces and make you so happy you jump around at the same time, but it also has a certain grace to the writing. The characters are amazing and so human; even when they aren't, you can tell why they make every decision they make and they all will find a place in your heart. The cover is gorgeous and it goes with the rest of the series nicely. The most exciting part of the story was the moment of uncertainty when Rose recognized Demitri and made the mistake of hesitating. (Geneva S, IRS Member)

Vampire Larten Crepsley must prevent the Nazis from gaining access to the power of the vampires, even when his blood brother Wester delivers the news that the one person Larten loves most in the world might be in danger of a deadly vampaneze attack. Prequel to Cirque du Freak.

Four complete novels, one captivating world. In the Forests of the Night: Three hundred years ago Risika had a family-a brother and a father who loved her. Three hundred years ago she was human. Now she is a vampire, a powerful one. And her past has come back to torment her. Demon in My View: Jessica isn't your average high school student-she's an acclaimed published author of vampire fiction. Now two new students at her high school strongly remind her of her favorite characters. But those characters only live in her imagination-right? Shattered Mirror: Christopher Raneva and Sarah Vida may look like a normal high school couple, but he's actually a vampire who's sworn off human blood and she's an incredibly powerful, vampire-hunting witch. As if that weren't enough to prevent their love, his past and her future collide when they get tangled up with Nikolas, one of the most reviled vampires ever. Midnight Predator: Once a happy teenager, Turquoise Draka is now a vampire hunter. Her current assigment is to assassinate Jeshikah, one of the cruelest vampires in history. But to do that, she'll have to enter Midnight, a fabled vampire realm, as a human slave. . . .

These days, it seems like a new vampire novel crops up every time you turn around. From Twilight to Vampire Academy to Marked, everyone’s writing about the bloodsucking undead. And it’s getting a little old, really.

Evernight, though superficially different from other novels in the gothic romance theme, is essentially cut from the same cloth. Girl meets boy, they like each other at first sight, but there are secrets that make their relationship difficult. In this case, those secrets involve (surprise, surprise) blood drinking and decapitation. For good measure, Claudia Gray throws in a spooky school filled with odd students and a headmistress who intimidates just about everyone. Oh, and the main character believes herself to be plain and yet still manages to have two attractive guys fighting for her attention.

Sound familiar? If all the teen vampire novels that have come out recently were tossed in a blender, this would basically be the result. In all likelihood, Evernight would delight so-called “Twihards” and the like, but if you’re not a tried-and-true genre fan, stay away. Evernight would simply waste your time. (Lisa M, IRS Member)

With the defeat of the evil Douglas behind him, Sam LaCroix is getting used to his new life. Okay, so he hadn't exactly planned on being a powerful necromancer with a seat on the local magical council and a capricious werewolf sort-of-girlfriend, but things are going fine, right? Well . . . not really. He's pretty tired of getting beat up by everyone and their mother, for one thing, and he can't help but feel that his new house hates him. His best friend is a werebear, someone is threatening his sister, and while Sam realizes that he himself has a lot of power at his fingertips, he's not exactly sure how to use it. Which, he has to admit, is a bit disconcerting. But when everything starts falling apart, he decides it's time to step up and take control. His attempts to do so just bring up more questions, though, the most important of which is more than a little alarming: Is Douglas really dead?
