A Vampire's Soul (Vampire's Promise #2)
by Carla Susan Smith"Wicked fun not to be missed!" --USA Today bestselling author Rebecca ZanettiInto The DarkRowan Harper's world has been wrenched apart. The man she thought she loved--the man she does love--is a vampire, and not the kind that glitters. Running away isn't an option. Gabriel isn't just her lover. She's bound to him in ways she can't comprehend, ways that put both of them in desperate danger even as Rowan's desire for him blazes anew. The rules of her life before are gone. But she has a power of her own, a power she is remembering in fits and starts even as time races against her. With her life and Gabriel's very soul on the line, Rowan has to choose who to believe--and who to trust. . . "Rowan's wry commentary about her predicament is priceless, and this romance sizzles. The revelations about the complex nature of Gabriel's existence and his connection to Rowan are the backdrop in which their wild passion and love run rampant. By striking a "deal with the devil," Rowan gains much but also loses her former humanity. This series is highly recommended." -- Library Journal89,000 Words
