Austra vampire fans, this is a MUST READ

Having been introduced to Elaine Bergstroms' vampires in Shattered Glass, I was thirsty to read more about what had happened to Helen Wells, of Austra blood and converted to full 'family member' by Stephen in that novel. In Blood Rites, she is the first in the family for many centuries to be able to bear children without the usual death or loss of desire for life that is the sad lot of every Austra female who chooses to have offspring. Helen and Stephen have twin boys, and she is happier in her new life than she would have dreamed possible. When her twin sons are kidnapped (and the kidnappers don't know that they've bitten off far more than they can chew - these babies aren't babies in our usual 'human' sense of the word) she goes hunting in a way she swore to herself never to do when she is changed over to her new, vampire self - hunting for humans, that is. To tell more would be to give away the resolution, but I would suggest looking long and hard for this sequel and NOT lending it out...I'm still trying to find another copy after 10 years!
