Book SynopsisTrade Review“Take a bite into a fresh, fun vampire comedy...read Lynsay Sands!” — Carly Phillips “Her trademark humor and genuine characters...kep her series fresh and her readers hooked.” — Publishers Weekly on Lynsay Sands “Sands delivers a rip-roaring adventure with plenty of steamy interludes in a story that should make fans of even the most virulent anti-vampire readers. It’s hard to resist her witty dialogue, off-the-wall scenarios, sexy moments, and tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, all of which combine for a deliciously fun romp in this absolutely bonkers read.” — Entertainment Weekly on Vampires Like it Hot “First Drop of Crimson is a passionate and tantalizing tale, filled with dark sensuality and fast-paced action. The lead couple is irresistible—a gutsy heroine to cheer for and a smoldering hero to die for. An unforgettable story!” — Kresley Cole on Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series “Cat and Bones are combustible together.” — Charlaine Harris on Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series “New and returning readers alike will enjoy this warmhearted and often hot-blooded adventure.” — Publishers Weekly on Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series
