Nightlife: A Vamps Novel by Nancy A. Collins


What's on the back:
When vampire heiress Lilith Todd decides she wants a modeling career, she won't let her father stop her - even if he does threaten to cut off her credit cards.
Lilith's rival, Cally Monture, is in a different kind of hot water. Her boyfriend, Peter, is a vampire hunter - a sexy, sensitive soul mate who just happens to be sworn to destroy her entire race.
With the Rauhnacht Grand Ball fast approaching, both girls need the same things: a handsome escort and a dress to die for. But in a sea of shifting and dangerous loyalties, there's no telling who will betray them next.
A piece of the book:
As Cally entered the lobby of her apartment building, she spotted Mr. Dithers, the chairman of the condo association, emptying his trash into the incinerator chute. She walked as fast as she could toward the elevator, praying it was sitting on the lobby level for once instead of hanging around on the seventh floor. She punched the call button and, to her relief, the doors parted instantly.
"Miss Monture -! A moment, please?"
Cally turned to find Mr. Dithers standing at her elbow, his Coke-bottle glasses making his over-magnified eyes appear to be hovering in front of his face.
"We've been getting complaints from the tenants on either side of your unit - and those on the floors above and below as well, to be frank - about the noise from your home entertainment center. I've already sent two warning notices to your mother. . . ."
"I realize that, Mr. Dithers," Cally said apologetically. "I'm really sorry. I'll talk to my mother about keeping it down -"
"It's not that I have anything against you personally, Cally. I know you try the best you can, but the noise ordinances are built into the covenants of the condo board. If this continues, we'll have no choice but to fine your mother two hundred dollars for each new complaint."
"There's no need to get drastic," Cally assured him. "I'll take care of the situation, I promise."
"I certainly hope so, Miss Monture."

Bitten & Smitten: An Immortality bites Novel


What's on the back:
Dear Mom.
I might be a wee bit late for Cousin Missy's wedding. It's been a tough week. Turns out, my blind date from hell was literally from hell. Guy but me. Next thing I know, I'm being chased all over the city by vampire hunters. And did I mention that I got fired, too?
Bright side - I met a man. Thierry de Bennicoeur. How great is that name? Anyway, he's sexy, six hundred years old, and a tad suicidal, but no one's perfect, right? And we have a deal - he's gonna show me the ropes of the vampire world, and I'm supposed to help him end his existence. Or maybe I'll just try to convince him life is worth living - no small challenge with the mostly immortal, let me tell you. I'll admit it's a complicated relationship. But with any luck, I just might have a date for that wedding after all.
Hugs and kisses
Sarah

A piece from inside the book:
It was like fine champagne; strawberries and cream; Kahlua chocolate sauce on French vanilla ice cream; ambrosia - food of the gods. Pick one.
Thierry's arm was tense for a moment, but he slowly relaxed. I looked up at him. His eyes were dark, and he wore an unfathomable expression on his face.
"Enough, Sarah," he said, and his voice was ragged. He squeezed my arm and roughly brought me up to my feet.
I thought he was going to push me away and leave the room, but instead he grabbed my shoulders to pull me against him and crushed his lips against mine, drinking me in as I'd just done to him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed him back, deeply, so deeply that I thought I might drown . . .
Okay, maybe being a vampire wasn't so bad after all.

Vamps by Nancy A. Collins



What's on the back of the book:
When the sun goes down, New York's true elite all head to one place: Bathory Academy, where the young ladies of the finest vampire families are trained in shapeshifting and luring their prey.
Bathory's reigning queen, Lilith Todd, is the daughter of a powerful vampire businessman, and she knows exactly what she wants from life. She wants to look beautiful for eternity and party till the sun comes up with her gorgeous boyfriend, Jules. And she doesn't want any New Blood upstarts standing in her way.
Enter Cally Monture, an unexpected threat from a trash zip code. When their first meeting leads to tragic results, Lilith is hungry for revenge.

A piece from the book:
Every vampire is taught from childhood that the easiest prey is the common prostitute or drug dealer. Such humans are used to being approached by strangers. They're willing to go to secluded areas with little persuasion. And when one of them disappears, who cares? True, sometimes individuals with specialized skills are needed, but the vast majority of undead who serve the true-born were once nothing more than criminals, whores, addicts, and pushers.
This was why, with all of Manhattan to choose from, Lilith and her friends were taking Jules's Mercedes and Tanith's Bentley to Washington Square Park in search of kicks.
