Ilana Walters' House of Cards is a "captivating story" of a young lady who is on her own in Paris, "The City of Light." Wonderfully descriptive of Paris, the food, fashion and fun - at least it would be fun except for the fact that the young lady has been captured by a coven of evil vampires whose first inclination is to have her for dinner, or should I say have her blood for dinner! Fortunately for her, one of the vampires (who still has some redeeming social value) has made a connection with her when she read his fortune using her tarot cards before she was abducted. Will she live long enough to escape, what is the attraction she feels for the one vampire who saved her life by telling "the Master" of her reading abilities? I loved the dichotomy of the vampires existing (somewhat as prisoners themselves to their demanding master) in the dark, dank tombs below Paris but having surrounded themselves with opulence. I really do hope there will be a series starting from this work...it holds out so many possibilities!
