Blood and Soul 3: Vampire Guardian

A seductress learns how to out master her teacher with her own overpowering sensuality…

Strung out on alcohol and drugs, Dechrista Davis goes along with the young man when he offers to make her a vampire. Obviously he’s deluded, yet he’s just given her the best sex in her short life so why not play along? She awakens in a dark room, not quite sure where she is. Her memories are not clear but she’s obviously had too much of something. As Dechrista leaves, a different man who also claims to be a vampire attempts to stop her. Thinking that they are all members of a cult, she vows not to return anytime soon.

Woodrow Quint is angry when Herb brings the girl in. She is changing and the process is likely to kill her. If he weren’t Herb’s master he would have nothing to do with her. Herb sneaks away and Woodrow is left to help the girl through the transformation. When she comes to and runs off in disbelief, Woodrow knows it won’t be long before she returns. She is unlikely to survive as a new vampire without guidance.

Dechrista is amazed how quickly time has passed; her waitress shift is over and she never even took a break. Somehow she feels stronger, invigorated. Dechrista is slowly aware of the strong sound of drumbeats. When it dawns on her that this is the noise of human heartbeats, Dechrista is shocked, completely taken aback. It is not possible. On her way home, Dechrista runs into a shy student, Karl. She has known him for a long time but never before has she felt any lust for him. The urge to bed him, lick his body and his pulsing throat is overwhelming. Stopping just short of plunging her teeth into his neck and draining his life force, Dechrista is horrified. Her only thought is to get back to the place of the vampires before she kills someone…

Kate Hill’s latest instalment in the Blood and Soul series of sensual vampire tales will lure readers in, right from the hot sex in the opening pages. The world of the vampires who reside in the Burgundy Peak Club is an erotic vision, able to satisfy many differing tastes. Woodrow is a responsible, ethical “father” to few vampires. He takes charge of Herb’s mistake because he feels he must. Even though Dechrista is the hottest woman he has ever come across, Woodrow feels that it would be wrong to indulge in her sexy young body because he is her teacher. Born blind, Woodrow relies heavily on his senses and his senses have gone into overload ever since she arrived. As they come to know each other it is clear to the reader that these two are meant to be together, two halves of the one soul. He is the musician - she is the singer. Dechrista was forced to sell her body at an early age to survive, but Woodrow awakens a new life for her. She no longer needs to sell her assets but is growing desperate to share them with the man of her dreams. Be prepared – Kate Hill’s vampires’ spicy lovemaking leaves nothing to the imagination! Blood and Soul 3: Vampire Guardian is the third of a series, but is easily read as a stand-alone book. It is likely that once you have read any of these books you will be eager to read the rest, and like this reader, desperately waiting for the next instalment!
