Review: Refreshing Vampire Story
Rating: 5 out of 5

Shadows of Fire by Nina Pierce would at first look to be a just another vampire story.  In fact, it is a very refreshing take on vampires. It is neither Buffy the Vampire Slayer or True Blood. It is more a cross between contemporary and paranormal. I thoroughly enjoyed the perspective of having vampire fire fighters. These guys were not over sexed or blood crazy, nor were they driven to find their “mate”. Instead, it is a suspenseful, romantic story involving Alexandra Flanagan and Reese Colton, who just happen to have become vampires. One is happier with this fact then the other. Add a murdering villain to a well developed story and you have a wonderful afternoon or two read. The mystery of the fire killer with Alex being looked at as the “fall guy “or gal in this case was an intriguing twist. I can’t help but wish that Hope somehow made it so that Josh and her have their own reunion story.Copy provided by NetGalley for an honest review.
