The Gardella Vampire Chronicles: Rises The Night
In Rises The Night, the second book in her Gardella Vampire Chronicles series, Colleen Gleason amps everything up a notch! Intense passion, fierce battles, scarier vampires and lots of suspense kept me turning the pages as fast as I could read. I must admit I have a weakness for bad boys, and the character of Sebastian fits that bill very nicely. The way he helps Victoria end her mourning period over her husband, an intensely erotic scene, made me tingle! Victoria goes through many changes in this book, although one in particular is quite tragic. Here's an excerpt from Rises The Night found on the author's website.
The sea of chanting, bright-eyed faces was at her eye level for only a moment before she was dragged to her feet. Victoria had an instant to grope for her vis before she swung out at the vampires who came at her.She kicked and dodged and punched, had the satisfaction of meeting one of them in the face, and was reaching back to pull a stake from her hair when her arms were grabbed and pulled down to her sides. Dimly aware that it had taken two vampires, one at each arm, to do so, she ducked and tried to twist free.
The grip was too strong; she couldn't break it. She couldn't get to her stakes, her holy water, her crucifix ... hands were on her everywhere, pulling at her dress, her arms, her legs, her breasts. She felt her head being jerked to one side by the hair, felt her coiffure loosen and her neck bare to the sweet-smelling room. The dull, pasty smell of blood on the breath of the vampire nearest her filled her nose, pushing away even the hypnotic scent of the incense.
When his teeth sank into her neck it was almost a relief.
