Vampire Jack McShane is on his way to Hell. His girlfriend, police
officer Connie Jones, has convinced voodoo priestess Melaphia to
send her to the underworld so that she can be reunited with her
dead son one last time. Jack is terrified that Connie won’t
make it back after his sire William barely survived his trip there.
While searching for Connie, Jack is horrified to find William’s
dead mate Eleanor living out a fate worse than he could have imagined,
and watches in dread as Connie receives her destiny as the prophesied
Vampire Slayer from a group angels. When he manages to return to
the human world, Jack is glad to find Connie not far behind him,
and not remembering anything that happened while she was in the
underworld.
William has just returned from Europe after rescuing Melaphia’s
daughter Renee. He has news to share of the ancient vampires' regrouping
and plans to wreak havoc on the world, but finding out what Jack
witnessed in the underworld will put that on hold. Meeting with
other vampire leaders from across the country, it is unanimously
agreed that Jack must kill the Slayer before she comes to power.
But another surprise awaits the very unhappy Jack when he goes to
kill the woman he loves, and he cannot carry out his orders. Even
more troubling for the vampires are the things that they do not
know. All hell is about to break loose on the human and paranormal
world, and this time it may be too much for the Savannah vampires
to fight.
THE VAMPIRE’S BETRAYAL is a dark and deadly tale. Jack is
torn between love for his family and the love he has for Connie.
William is at a complete loss and near hopeless trying to find the
answers he needs. Great storytelling, suspense, and characters grab
the reader’s attention from the first page. A stunning conclusion
leaves a taste of the chaos that is coming and will have readers
eagerly awaiting the next book. Reading the previous books of the
series will add to the background of this story and is recommended
though not necessary. Other characters of importance are Reedrek,
William’s ancient sire; Travis, a werewolf; Otis, a fairy;
and newest member of the vampire clan, Werm. Melaphia and her voodoo
heritage play a large role in trying to help solve the many riddles
facing the vampires. Werm’s bar is a gathering place for both
human and paranormal entities and is a hotbed of both news and more
questions. All of the paranormal creatures feel the coming of something
dark and large, yet none has any idea of what they will have to
face. Don’t miss the thrilling horror and doomed romance in
the highly recommended THE VAMPIRE’S BETRAYAL.
