A rocking good vamp tale

Rocking good Vampire story. Caridad Pineiro penned Darkness Calls, a modern day vampire tale, that is so enjoyable! She has a refreshing natural voice that lends well to her tale of a female agent on the track of a serial killer. Believe it, I will be watching for more from this talent writer. FBI Agent Diana Reyes, had always been trouble with night terrors, but hidden it well from her family growing, hid it from her partner. She is a tough as nails, by the book agent, determined to stop a killer viciously killing women who frequented a club called The Lair. But she is not prepared for meeting Ryder Latimer, the owner of the nightclub, when she offers herself up for bait in the FBI investigation. Their paths cross on her first night as bait, sensing the man even before she comes face to face with him. Knowing he might be a suspect, she tries to keep her instant attraction hidden. But Ryder won't let her back away from it. For too long, Ryder has seen her in his dreams. He yearns to grow closer to Diana, the woman who has haunted him for years, but fears an FBI agent will not quite be so accepting of his "little secret". He is a vampire. However, as Diana begins to share his dreams, there may be no hiding his secret from her. Together Ryder and Diana must stop the killer close to Ryder, and must learn to trust each other, come what may. Pineiro delivers up a good tale with a touch of humor, strong characters and a well developed plot guaranteed to please all readers, but especially vamp fans.

A wonderful 'forbidden love' story

Normally I don't read vampire stories, but I decided to give this book a try and I'm glad I did. Everything about this book was excellent---all the life-like characters, a 'gutsy' heroine and a 'tortured' hero, a realistic suspense plot that did not overwelm the rest of the book and a very passionate, heartwarming 'forbidden love'story. Sometime in the future it would be great to meet up again the Diane and Ryder to see how they're doing. I will definitely read another book by this author.
