Category /Genre:  Erotica, ParanormalReceived from:  Travis Luedke (in exchange for an honest review)Recommended for:  18+ due to erotic sexual situationsGrammar/editing:  B – a few small errorsTHE NIGHTLIFE NEW YORKTHE NIGHTLIFE LAS VEGASTHE NIGHTLIFE PARISBLOOD SLAVEThe first three books chronicle the relationship between Michelle and Aaron.  Michelle has been a vampire for about 80 years and has recently claimed Aaron when he is shot defending her against a pair of crooked cops in New York.  When the cops retaliate, Aaron's new strengths unleash his inner predator defending his mate.  The pair then moves to Las Vegas and this time there is a drug cartel that has them in their sites.  Leaving the death and destruction they have met behind, they then turn to Paris, but they have been followed.  Their hunter has seen their unique gifts and has plans that may separate them permanently.  BLOOD SLAVE is a companion book with new characters and storyline, but the same "rules" of vampirism remain.This is a shocking, violent, darkly erotic romance series that does not fail to deliver a psychic blow to your mind and heart.  Mr. Luedke's writing is raw and impassioned.  My own feral animal wanted to lash out when interrupted during the reading of these stories.  Though a little more violent than my usual preference, I am glad I read this.  Most romance and erotica is written by women and for women.  This has the harder edge of a man's point of view that does not apologize for its grittiness and instead revels in it.
