Vampires exist. They work in every industry, even the government services. In this, the third of the Colony series, Sulie, sister of the leader of the Colony finds herself in love with the retiring government liaison between the vampires and the government, Jonathan Dixon. Aging faster than the vampires he has worked with for years, he has picked a successor and is staying on long enough to train him. He is depressed over losing the position, and worse, the mind-manipulation that they will do on him once he’s done will take away the memories of the woman he loves, Sulie.Both have given hints and flirted but neither moved on it, fearing rejection. Then, one day, Sulie disappears from work and the hunt is on. Dixon wants to find her, not only for her family but for himself as well. The Colony, with all their technology and natural abilities, is tested with the kidnapping, the threat to the President and also to the United States. There’s a chance everything is connected but they have to figure out the connections before it is too late.Oh Wow. I got the copy of Enduring Service and dived in head first. I’ve read and reviewed the other two and I loved them. I was not disappointed with this one. While some authors do a good job on the first one or two, they sometimes let the story down on subsequent books. Not so for Regina Morris and her vampires. This one is just as good, possibly better, than the other two. I could not put it down. I read it in one sitting, long into the night.She has the vampire story, the romance story, and the thriller story and she does a masterful job of balancing all three. I say that she’s got the thriller part down as well as Tom Clancy had in his books, keeping the situation going and tense without losing the other parts of the story. I was trying to figure out the outcome as I read and she actually surprised me with the very complicated and wonderfully crafted ending. I never guessed some of those parts.I know there’s another one coming, it’s obvious from the ending of this one and I will be looking forward to it as excitedly as I do my other favorite series. This one made me a true believer that there are vampires helping the running of the government. I might have to look closer at the people in the background…Charlayne Elizabeth DenneyParanormal Romance Guild.
