SEDUCED BY THE NIGHT

Author: Robin T. Popp ISBN: 0446616273 6/2006 PARANORMAL Publisher: WARNER FOREVER

Dr. Bethany Stavinoski doesn't run from a challenge. As the top biochemist in her field, the delicate-looking blonde routinely puts herself on the line. But her latest research project plunges her into a terrifying world she never knew existed—and into the arms of a dangerous, irresistible man. Dirk Adams is a changeling, a human with a vampire's strength and skills. He patrols the darkness to destroy renegade vampires, and he sense something far more powerful behind the relentless pursuers now on Beth's trail. As a nightmare he never imagined unfolds, Beth's only chance to save both their lives is to surrender to Dirk's desperate need...and match his hunger with her own.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

SEDUCED BY THE NIGHT didn't really seduce me. Truly, I am on the fence with this one, because it's a borderline read. Meaning, some of it's borderline boring and predictable, while some of it is cool and strange.

It has its interesting points. When a story contains something about the mythical Chupacabra in it, it should be. It is also unique in that it puts a spin on how "real" vampires are made. Unfortunately, the love story lacks depth and connection, and the villain isn't all that scary. Well, at least not compared to other books I have read. Perhaps I am just jaded.

Anyway, if you like the author or the preceding book, OUT OF THE NIGHT, pick this one up. If you don't, well, it's not a huge loss.
