REVIEW

"Spooktacular!"

While on a camping trip in the mountains, three teenagers, Mike, Josh, and Wade come across a true-life urban legend— vampires. After watching the attack and brutal murder of his friends by a female vampire and her two male cohorts, Wade becomes a sex slave to Cassandra, the head vampire. Cassandra had been banned to a mountain lair nearby the boys' campsite for seventy-five years for killing another vampire. She was not allowed to have anyone but her and her servant, Stanos, but secretly recruited two males. With the ability to make Wade her own by hypnotizing him, Wade lives chained to a wall in a basement dungeon by day and lives as Cassandra's sex toy by night.

Wade thinks he loves her, only because she tells him to think it, and he watches her kill and drink blood as though it were the normal thing to do. She planned to make him her vampire, but the more Wade recalls the night his friends died, and after he is forced to perform vampirism tasks to a kidnapped girl named Sue, he is then able to block future hypnotic episodes and starts to hate Cassandra for what she is, and all the while, refusing to become one.

Dr. Donovan Reed is a vampire, and a doctor of psychology who treats humans as well as vampires. He is also the husband of the vampire that Cassandra killed over fifty years ago.

After receiving news that Cassandra may have two male gets (vampires in training), he decides to look into the strange occurrences that have happened around the area of her lair. When Donovan arrives, things grow rapidly out of hand. Cassandra must destroy her gets and take care of Wade before Donovan finds out, but at the last minute, she reconsiders, and decides to take Wade and Donovan's fate into her own hands. How? Why? Will Donovan find Wade and save him from Cassandra's evil plan before it is too late? What will Cassandra and her two vampire goons do to them? Of course, I won't tell you, but I can assure you that you will be pleased. Find out by getting your own copy of Linda Suzane's DARKHOUR VAMPIRES: Volume I: Captivity today!

Ms. Suzane has written a powerful paranormal novel that keeps the reader in suspense while bringing each fascinating character to life. As I read, I found myself fretting over the characters' circumstances. I couldn't put the book away until I finished that particular section of the book. In all honesty, Ms. Suzane's writing was so vivid that during certain suspenseful moments, I felt that I had lost myself in the words, and began to feel as though I was the character who was in peril.

Ms. Suzane left nothing out regarding each character, scene, or setting, and she hit the nail on the head, so to speak, with the realistic dialogue. She managed to keep tension throughout the book, allowing the reader to experience fear through her words, and page after page of entertaining reading, leaving the reader wanting more. If you can't tell by now, I am very impressed with this book.

I highly recommend DARKHOUR VAMPIRES: Volume I: Captivity by Linda Suzane.
