JA Mcorkle's Mia is vampiric erotica with extra bite.  The author knows the vampire genre inside out and mines every rich seam to craft a story full of the sexual power of these supernatural predators that fascinate us.Mia Harrington is a woman in a loveless marriage to a wealthy businessmen, left to her own devices and dreaming of more.  When Lucas Bradshaw arrives at a dinner party she senses something unique about him and it isn't long before his secrets are revealed. Following a vicious attack by a duo of sexually sadistic vampires, Mia's world is turned upside down as she is thrust into a world of paranormal gang rivalry, politics and new sensuality.Set largely over one tumultous night, the pace never wanes. There are are times when characters explain a lot of backstory in dialogue which would have been ripe for immersive flashbacks, but McCorckle's skill lies in the here and now and her descriptions of a host of vampire's sexual proclivities are real and raw. Several scenes are extreme, particularly those involving the story's cruel antagonist Blair, a vampire so used to getting his own way the the word 'No' isn't in his vocabularly.  These scenes are immersive, shocking and viscerally written.  The more tender scenes are wonderfully erotic and will certainly raise your pulse!Mia is a believable character and serves as the portal to a wonderful wish-fulfillment fantasy for any fan of the genre. If only Twilight was this damn sexy!Highly recommended - it's my first experience with vampire erotica, and McCorkle has made me a full fledged fan!
