Bonfire of the Vampires

Jake had been mugged, wounded, and left for dead when Abby found him that night in the park. After spending a night in the emergency room, he tracked her down several days later to say thank you; their friendship was forged over a shared dinner that evening.

Now it’s Christmas, three years later, and Abby and Jake are closer than ever. Until she gets a call that will shatter her hopes of a real relationship with Jake and the life she’s been building...

My, oh my – if you want a twisting, turning, tantalizing plot, Bonfire of the Vampires is for you! Abby’s hidden her secrets from Jake, just as he’s hidden his from her, and no friendship, no relationship can survive that kind of betrayal, or can it? Abby is a strong and talented woman trapped in a totally untenable situation by a force that exerts control over her life. She can’t help what she is, and she is a perfect example of someone doing what they need to do to survive. I love the strong characterizations and uncertainties – who are the friends and who are the foes? – set forth in this book This is a wonderfully dark piece by an author with a talent for putting her words together in a way that will make readers turn the pages hungrily. Get ready to be taken deep into the tangled web of vampire hierarchy; you’ll be on the edge of your seat as Jennifer Colgan takes you on this wild ride into the seamier side of things in Bonfire of the Vampires.
