For those of you lovers of Reynolds' Vampires in America Series (see list of books below) who, like me, can't get enough of Raphael and Cyn, AND are looking forward to the next installment, LUCAS, this novella prequel is a must read!Raphael and Cyn are visiting Grand Junction, Colorado when suddenly our favorite vampire lord, Raphael is attacked. Of course, Cyn goes into major protective investigator mode and Raphael and Cyn have words about her involvement, but she will not be thwarted. Then there's a new "right arm" vamp Raphael has picked to take Duncan's place (as if any vamp could do that!). His name's Jared and he's a cutie. But the real new player we're all curious about is Lucas. And wouldn't you know it? Reynolds hit a soft spot with me when she made him a handsome, hunky IRISH vamp, who looks enough like Raphael to be his brother (oh, yeah!). He's been with Raphael since he pulled Lucas off the streets of Dublin way back at the "beginning." I can hear the Irish lilt in his voice now....oh, baby. Well, anyway, there's this FBI woman who's looking for her brother and is coming to see Lucas...get the picture?The villain in the attack seems to be the Midwest lord, Klemens, who is about to go to war with Lucas. Needless to say, there's some good sleuthing as they search out the human who took the shot at Raphael...and hence, much suspense. But let me not forget to mention the very steamy love scenes between Raphael and Cyn. For a novella it has a lot of punch.I don't see how you can read Lucas without having this prequel novella. It's a good one, too!The Vampires in America series thus far:RAPHAEL - Western Territories/Malibu - 2009JABRIL - Southwest Territory/Houston - 2009RAJMUND - Northeast Territory/New York City - 2010SOPHIA - Canadian Territories/Vancouver - 2011DUNCAN - Capital Territory/Washington DC - 2011LUCAS - Plains Territory/South Dakota Badlands - coming soon 2012
