In 1864 in New Orleans a deadly serial killer shakes up the locals as well as the occupying army. Union officer Lieutenant Aldridge asks for former Confederate soldier Dr. Cody Fox who is sent to investigate as he has previous experience with these types of killings back in Alexandria in 1859 with a decapitating vicious serial killer. His assignment is to solve who is behind the mass murders and prevent more from happening.

Alex Green heads west to be with her father, but she arrives in Victory, Texas to learn he is dead although she is unaware how he died as no one will whisper a word of it as if they feared his fate if they say anything. Meanwhile deadly outlaw Milo Roundtree arrives in town as does Cody tracking the culprit who most believe is the vicious criminal. When Milo places a knife at Alex's throat, Cody kills him saving her life. However, nothing is resolved as the mass graves are empty and rumors abound to stay in-doors once the sun goes down.

This is a refreshing vampire historical romantic fantasy. The cast is solid especially the lead couple, the townsfolk, and the key second in command of the bloodsuckers who cleverly is hidden in plain sight. The prime weapon against the undead seems much more effective and realistic than the usual stake as Heather Graham provides a fun fast-paced story line as vampires and hunters collide in Civil War Texas.

Although I found the book rather enjoyable, I cannot say that I was whole heartedly impressed. The characters were not as well developed as they could have been, and it was difficult to get a real feel for either one of them. There was no real relationship development, which kept me from giving it the four or five stars. Yet, Graham did a good job with the setting, and I appreciated her historical references. Also, unless Graham intends to write a sequel to the novel there will be a few unanswered questions. However, this is an easy read and is great for a night with a mug of hot chocolate and relaxing.

Normally I really enjoy books by Heather Graham.
And I did like Night of the Wolves. But like the previous reviewer said, this one almost seems to be thrown together.
The storyline and characters are interesting, but this story could have been so much better than it is.
For me this could have been an awesome read but due to the characters not being more fleshed out, as well a lack of emotion and description it ends up only an Ok read.

You can't tell from the description that this is a vampire book. I do not like vampire books, so I was prepared to be disappointed. However, this book offered an interesting twist on the vampire theme: vampires in the old west. The 2 main characters, Alex and Cody, are surprisingly real and interesting. I ended up surprising myself and enjoying this book very much. If you don't like vampire books, you might give this one a try - it is not the typical vampire story. If you do like vampire books, you'll probably like this one, too.

All of Heather Graham's books are addictive. Her story lines are new and she hits in the end with a twist you never saw coming!! Love it!!!

When darkness falls...

For an ancient evil has been awakened and is stalking the townsfolk after dark...To protect Alex, Cody might have to choose between a showdown with the devil--and the fiery beauty whose kisses soothe his tormented soul.

I love Heather Graham! I buy every book she comes out with, so I couldn't not buy this one too. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't one of her best. The book is small and looks like an easy read but it actually took me a while to get through it, because I wasn't completely interested the entire time.

Heather Graham is one of my favorite authors. She keeps you spellbound until the very end.

I have read many of her books and look forward to new ones.

I love Heather Graham, don't get me wrong but for what the book cost I expected a whole lot more. Very boring and predictable. It was almost like something thrown together for a quick sale until her better books are available.
Don't waste your money.
