INTO THE RED is a paranormal romance in the true sense of the words.  It's not a paranormal with a little bit of romance and it's not a romance with a little bit of paranormal.  INTO THE RED gives the reader a true romance happening within a developed fantasy world.  Kelly Whitley shows us vampires in a new light.  They're not happy sparkly vampires or brooding blood sucking vampires (at least, not the normal ones, anyway).  These are "real" vampires.  What I mean by that is that Whitley's vampires came into being in a perfectly plausible way...you'll have to read the book to find out what that is, though.  No spoilers here.Dr. Evan Nichols, our hero, is the kind of man that women love to read about.  Handsome, intelligent and sexy as hell, he sets his sights on Tara, our heroine, and gives chase.  He woos her like a gentleman and then lights up her bedsheets like a proper alpha male.Tara, unlike the current fad of kick butt female leads, is a soft, vulnerable damsel.  However, that's not to say that she doesn't have spunk.  When things get dicey, Tara shows what she's more than worthy of her vampire lover.Populated with a host of interesting supporting characters, INTO THE RED, is a great start to what this reader hopes is a series of books that explores Whitley's world.
