    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed reading &quot;Blood Memories&quot; by Barb Hendee.  This is definitely an urban fantasy vice romance novel (at least so far and there is at least one more novel to come) as there is no one special relationship that the story focuses on.  Instead, it's an interesting look at a young woman t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35396647">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Vampires have lived among Mankind for countless millenia, hiding in the darkness, hunting, feeding and killing Mortals.  They live lives of utter secrecy, scattered far apart, always aware that the surging tide of Humanity could crush them if they became truly aware of their presence.  For Eleisha, a young vampire who has remained hidden since the 19th Century, things are about to change. <br/><br/>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.<br/>When an old friend destroys himself by walking into sunlight right in front of her, Eleisha is shocked. And what she finds afterward points to how very sick of his existence he had become — piling drained corpses in the basement and keeping records of other vampires' real names and addresses.<br/>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.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[One thing to remember about this book  -- it was actually written before her popular Noble Dead saga.     Again, her main character is a creature of limited knowledge about who/what she is.   The book serves more as a character development study then a plot driven book.  Interesting read. The ending...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43968425">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was a little leery of this as I started reading it, as it had all the trappings of some horrible paranormal romance.  Happily, it didn't go that direction after all.  While not the greatest of stories, I'm pleased enough to consider reading another in the series, as it was decent filler fluff.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Vampires have lived among Mankind for countless millenia, hiding in the darkness, hunting, feeding and killing Mortals.  They live lives of utter secrecy, scattered far apart, always aware that the surging tide of Humanity could crush them if they became truly aware of their presence.  For Eleisha, a young vampire who has remained hidden since the 19th Century, things are about to change. <br/><br/>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.<br/>When an old friend destroys himself by walking into sunlight right in front of her, Eleisha is shocked. And what she finds afterward points to how very sick of his existence he had become — piling drained corpses in the basement and keeping records of other vampires' real names and addresses.<br/>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.]]>
