Dear Marie Treanor: I would read a series all about Maggie if it was available.Konrad is a Hunter who came to the Hunter Network like many people: after his family was savagely attacked, and after he was tortured in incalculable ways. The rules back then were simple: Vampires were unnatural, and should be killed immediately.  Now Konrad is "old school" because the rules have changed. The last surviving Ancient, Saloman, has made peace via a détente: only vampires engaged in killing are to be killed. Those who are, shall we say, sipping supper, are to be left alone. Thus Konrad finds that without killing vampires, he has time to remember torture and harden further. He tries to organize dissenters against the détente, other old school Hunters. He sees the child about to be born to Saloman as the threat of a vampire dynasty.In his travels, he meets vampiress Maggie. Maggie thinks she has known Konrad before. They used to be telepathic friends, sharing playful conversations. After Konrads ordeal, he stopped using his telepathy. Now that Maggie sees how broken Konrad is, she determines that he needs saving, before his suicidal mission is complete.Konrad irritates me that he couldn't get help from the Network, and he is a TOTAL JERK. He treats Maggie like dirt.Maggie is quite possibly my favorite character in the series. She is genuinely funny. Who knows how she can still see in him what has so long been absent. Dear Marie Treanor: I would read a series all about Maggie if it was available.
