Customer Reviews

Gotta love these vamps...

...they're so very "human"! I enjoyed the first Raven Hart book, but really loved this second one and made sure I had the third book firmly in hand before I let myself finish it!

Intense

Intense! The steamyness that was Jack and William was amazing! The way Raven Hart writes this series is absolutely outstanding.

Second Book in the Series

I read the first one in the series and enjoyed it, but I liked The Vampires Secret even more. A lot more character development in this book and a lot of surprises. A good series.

An Excellent Follow-up to Seduction

"Secret" is an excellent follow-up to "Seduction!" The characters are richly developed, the story is fast-paced and unpredictable, and the dark showdown between the new-world and old-world vampires is both taught and suspenseful. All of the Savannah blood-drinkers just keep getting more tantalizing - on many different levels (as does the city herself). Grab a glass of wine, curl up in a comfy spot and enjoy this one - on a moody day, even better!

Ya gotta love these bad boys!

This is the second book in the series, after Vampire's Seduction. William Thorne is a 500-year-old master vampire who runs the Savannah, Georgia New World clan. Jack McShane is William's fledgling, whom William turned during the Civil War. This book begins just weeks after Vampire's Seduction and William is keeping his promise to Eleanor, a madam and his lover, to turn her into a vampire. Jack is in love with Connie, a human police officer, or so he thinks. In this book, we delve further into Jack and Connie's relationship. William captured his squire, Reedrek, in the first book. Now, he expects repercussions from the Old World vampires. William has called a meeting of the New World clan's to discuss and strategize the upcoming war with the old European vampires. The Old World vampires will be out for revenge. However, upon arrival of the New World vampires, they begin to fall ill, which vampires never do. After all, they are immortal. Now a rotting disease has taken hold and they must rush to find a cure before all the vampires succumb to the disease. Both William and Jack contain the special Voodoo blood, which has been passed down to William and in turn given to Jack in Vampire's Seduction. The Voodoo blood helps both of them and their bloodline to be more powerful, and each will have a different gift. Will it be enough to ward off the disease? This book is told from first Williams' viewpoint, and then alternates with Jack's viewpoint. The handoff in viewpoint is flawless. The narration picks up right where the other one leaves off. This book has a lusty undertone, wonderful characters, and a continuing story in the next book Vampire's Kiss.
