Vampire Seductress

Ross Sherman’s usually boring company Christmas party offers more excitement than he can handle this year. When the party moved to a local nightclub Ross found himself entranced, literally, by the seductive Simone. Beautiful and deadly, this mistress of the night has decided to make Ross her own. Unbeknownst to him, she would change his life forever. Ross wakes up in Simone’s lair and discovers that he is no longer human. Simone explains as best she can what he has become and how the benefits to being a vampire far outweigh those of being human.

Simone answers Ross’ insatiable questions, spinning a tale that spans centuries. Telling of her transformation and her sire, sharing stories of hunts and the lives she has touched throughout her unnatural life. Simone introduces him, in time, to others of their kind and to their stories of becoming vampires. But, of course, there is no Eden without a snake. This particular snake has a very long memory and will stop at nothing until Simone and all that she loves are destroyed.

Vampire Seductress is an epic tale of love, lust, tragedy and triumph. Simone is a multi-faceted vampire. Female vampires, while normally portrayed as beguiling and beautiful creatures seducing unsuspecting men for sustenance, are rarely shown as the perfect hunter that they are. This is usually withheld for the men. Simone is fully independent, she doesn’t need Ross, she wants him; there is a vast difference. The way she gains him, through extreme violence, both shocked and intrigued me. Ross is bewildered and doesn’t accept his fate at first (another departure from most vampire novels where the newly turned is disgustingly grateful for being saved from a life of drudgery). Mr. Panzer has penned a thought-provoking, original tale of vampire erotica that leaves you with few questions and characters that are not easily forgotten.
