"Highly erotic, original vamp series!"

Melinda "Mel" just got back to New York City and is sitting in her favorite bar, Burgundy Peak, with her two friends, Sue, the woman who turned her, and Sue's husband, Paul. Now that she's a vampire, Mel constantly pushes herself and takes all kinds of risks. Not only does she battle others of kind, she also goes different places and lives off the land. Her most recent trip was to South America, where she lived for a few months in the jungles. All of these activities are just Mel's way of dealing with her yearnings. Even though she is a modern woman, capable and strong, Mel yearns for an Alpha male. A male that won't be afraid of making her cry, but won't really hurt her. Unfortunately, most of the men she's managed to get involved with are all jerks.

This particular club is owned by one of the Ancient Ones. Paul has met him in the past and knows him. The world may change, but Zigor refuses. Not only does he protect everyone working in the club, but he won't take human blood. He will only take the blood of another vampire, and everyone calls him Master. After Sue and Paul leave, Mel can't make up her mind if she wants to spend the night with Zigor or not. Finally, she decides to go for it. However, there are conditions. She must freely give her blood, she must stay until midnight of the following night and she must agree to the conditions willingly and of her own free will.

What will Mel find? What is Zigor like? Will Mel trust Zigor not to hurt her? And what of Zigor himself? What are his secret fears?

BLOOD AND SOUL 1: VAMPIRE MASTER is a highly erotic look into the world of vampires. Kate Hill has done a wonderful job of bringing her characters to life in this unusual look into dominance and submission. On the one hand, we have Mel, a thoroughly capable strong woman, secretly yearning for a man to dominate her. On the other hand, we have Zigor, a stronger man, one of the Ancients, uncompromising and secretly yearning for a soulmate. The expected occurs when these two finally get together and the sparks are strong enough to light a room. If you enjoy erotic vampires, don't miss this one! Oh yeah, make sure you have plenty of cool water and a fan around when you read it.
