No Escape From the Past by Miriam Michaels is part 2 in a trilogy about loner, Will O'Hara, a 200 year old vampire who usually keeps his cravings for human blood satisfied by replacing them with passionate one night stands with the young college women who live in the town where he works as a bartender.  In this second installment, the story finds Will still reeling from a sexual encounter that ended poorly.  He is so worked up that he has find some way to satisfy his desires.  He gets caught up in the moment and makes a young woman his prey.  Her body is found somewhere other than where Will left it, leaving him guessing as to whether or not he is the only killer out there.  More surprises are in store for Will as a vampire he has previously known reveals himself to be Will's brother.Ms. Michaels overall is consistent in the way she writes.  Her characters were easily recognizable from the first installment to the second and she makes them feel like someone you might know.  Will O'Hara is someone I found myself liking despite the fact that he is a womanizer and cold blooded killer.  The author has found a way to endear him to me despite his obvious imperfections.  As with part 1 in this series, there are graphic sexual scenes described in too much detail for my taste, but I feel compelled to read the third installment, so I can see what fate awaits Will O'Hara.  The cliffhanger ending left me wanting more.
