THE COFFIN CLUB: VAMPIRE KISSES 5 by Ellen Schreiber
This installment of the Vampire Kisses series is a delight. It is much better than the last couple in the series.

She starts FEAST OF FOOLS like she does the other books in the Morgenville Vampire series - right in the middle of the action which grabs you by the hair, yanks you in, and won’t let go until the story is over. At the end of MIDNIGHT ALLEY, the foursome living in the… Read more
