Sarah Dearly''s vampire life is not all B-positive cocktails. A curse made her a nightwalker, the most vicious vamp there is; the charm she wears to curb her deadly tendencies is losing its juice; and a hunter from hell is turning up the heat. Gideon Chase will kill the ones she loves most if she doesn''t obey his orders. That includes breaking up with master vampire Thierry and turning Gideon into an immortal vamp so he can escape a doom of eternal hellfire. Making things worse are Sarah''s growing feelings for Gideon, a bad boy who keeps showing a vulnerable side . . . but is it for real? Will Sarah''s dark side take over? Or can she cure herself of the nightwalker curse in time to stop Gideon and finally live happily ever after with Thierry . . . forever?

Newly vamped Sarah Dearly wants her normal life back, but fate is fighting against her. She tries to get a regular job and gets staked in the interview, only to be rescued by a masked vampire who calls himself the Red Devil. Then a wallflower-turned-witch curses her, making her a bloodthirsty, sun-allergic nightwalker--the worst vampire there is. As if all that weren''t enough, she can''t get married because her 600-year-old boyfriend, Thierry, is in a centuries-long marriage of convenience he can''t escape. As Sarah''s nightwalker tendencies make her more dangerous, even to those she loves, she''ll have to counteract that curse, unmask the increasingly intriguing Red Devil, and get a commitment from her man. But if that''s what it takes to secure her happiness, Sarah is ready...even if it means embracing her inner vamp to do it.

Valerie Grace isn''t quite sure how she went from heavenly angel to plunging into the killer whale tank at Niagara Falls'' MarineLand, but that''s what''s happened. All she knows is that earth can be a tough place for a fallen angel, what with all the demon Tempters lurking around every corner, anxious to recruit her to the \"other team\" - the evil team. All she can do is keep an eye out for the elusive Key to Heaven, try to help people, and hope that somebody up there notices what an angel she is, even if she''s not literally one anymore. And try to avoid that really cute tempter, the one with the pale gray eyes and hypnotic smile, the one that makes her forget her own name and the fact that she''s supposed to be a good girl.

In Rowen''s death-defyingly funny debut--a cross between \"Buffy the Vampire Slayer\" and \"Sex in the City\"--Sarah Dearly goes on a blind date . . . with a vampire. Original.

Former vampire hunter Michael Quinn is living a nightmare: he''s been turned into a vampire. His only hope is the \"Eye\"--a long-lost artifact that, once every millennium, will grant one wish to its possessor. Fortunately for Quinn, he has a map detailing the path to the \"Eye.\" All he needs to do is find it, then he can wish himself back into humanity. Janie Parker has made a lot of many mistakes in her life, not the least of which was getting tricked into working for a demon. Not only is the pay awful, but she has to successfully complete all her unsavory assignments or risk a torturous death. Her latest mission is to track a vampire who apparently knows where some stupid treasure is. No problem. Until she sees who the vampire is -- Michael Quinn, a man she''s had a crush on since she was twelve years old. Too bad she''ll have to kill him to get to the \"Eye.\" But Quinn and Janie are kindred spirits, and soon they''re falling in love even though they''re after what the other person is desperate for: the \"Eye\".

My name is Sarah Dearly, and I''ve got major problems. Last month, I was turned into a vampire by the world''s worst blind date. Then I may have, totally by accident, started a war between the mostly peaceful bloodsuckers and a bunch of sociopathic vamp hunters who have nicknamed me the Slayer of Slayers. Now I''m being used as bait to draw out the hunters'' bad-ass leader, while my gorgeous 600-year-old boyfriend Thierry seems to be blowing me off, and my sizzle-hot, fanged friend Quinn is trying to turn my self-defense lessons into make-out sessions. So you know what? I''m done. I''ve had it. There comes a time when a vamp has to just suck it up and go after what she wants. And as soon as I figure out what that is, that''s exactly what I''ll do...
