Here’s another good one from Dot on the latest book in the VAMPIRES IN AMERICA series. “I love this author (D.B. Reynolds)! ” says Dot — PR’s vampire expert. “She keeps me riveted to the books. Only problem, I have to wait a year for the next ones.” And we all can relate to that when it comes to reading a good series. Dot’s book pick follows. CLICK HERE to read her previous reviews on this series.
D.B. Reynolds weaves together a mystery along with sizzling romance in RAJMUND, book No. 3 in the VAMPIRES IN AMERICA series. A young human woman has been kidnapped and vampires are suspected of not only this crime but of the kidnapping of several other women. Rajmund (pronounced Rye-mund or Raj like in Rodger) is called from New York City to Buffalo, NY, by his vampire lord, Krystof, who has a tenuous grasp on his territory. Raj is poised to take over the territory but first he must clear up the mystery of these missing women. A distraction comes in the person of human Sarah Stratton, a professor at a Buffalo university. Sarah has information about the missing women but has secrets of her own to keep hidden. She has been previously introduced to Raj while on a weekend in NYC. Sparks flew then and they continue to fly when they meet again in Buffalo.
RAJMUND, the third installment in D.B.Reynolds Vampires In America, series does not disappoint one little bit. It has all the action and romance of the first two books (RAPHAEL[1] and JABRIL[2]). There are tantalizing surprises as the story unfolds. Raj is a totally hot, sexy, dangerous, alpha vampire. His only discernible fault is calling the heroine “little one.” For those who want their heroines to be of the kick-ass variety, Sarah is not that. Sarah is sometimes annoying in her disregard for her own safety. But Reynolds compensates by having Raj’s second in command, a vampire named Emelie, do more than an adequate job of butt kicking. Once again, this was a Reynolds’ book, I could not put down. I personally enjoy how dangerous Reynolds’ vampires are because they are not to be trifled with one bit. Yum! I do suggest that the series be read in order, if only so you can enjoy the series as it unfolds.
Books No. 4 SOPHIA and No. 5 DUNCAN will be published in 2011. Reynolds has just announced that her contract has been extended to include eight books in her series.

urban fantasy romance. Other readers have said if you liked the early Anita Blake character, you’ll love the heroine in this series. Dot has sent us a look at the first two books in the series, which came out just this year. (If you have a book you’d like to recommend, email me at dianachiyo@gmail.com.) A big thanks to Dot, who reads a lot of vampire novels and will be sending us her book picks!!!
Jabril Karim. She wants this job to distance herself from her obsessive feelings for West Coast Vampire Lord Raphael. Jabril has hired her just to seduce her away from Raphael. But Cyn is having none of it and proceeds to free his enslaved vampire ward and find her sister. Jabril has hired a male PI to trace all three women when they disappear to the West Coast, which throws Cyn back in the arms of Raphael and into more danger. As with the series book 1, RAPHAEL, this is fast paced with plenty of action and the most delicious, heart stopping declaration of love from a vampire. JABRIL leaves the reader wanting more Cyn and Raphael and more from author D.B. Reynolds.
