Sealed In Blood, August 19, 2005
As the main character is trying to find pictures of a winged creature and also find out what has happened to his sister you also find out that vampires are not undead but a whole different race. And that he must get those pictures and his sister back before their kind are discovered.
He inlisted the help of Sherri Hudson a human and she soon begins to discovers there are vampires and what they are and are not. Also that the attractions between the vampires and humans isnt as much sexual as it is an addiction.
And this is not to say that this isnt just as powerful nor is this any less pleasurable for either race. I think any vampire lover has to give this read a chance and will be pleasently surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Intricately woven -- Highly recommended, October 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Sealed in Blood (Paperback)
Rumors that a second rate reporter has obtained authentic pictures of a demon draws professor Nigel Jameson to a science fiction convention. Nigel convinces another convention guest, Sherri Hudson, to aid in his plan to steal the pictures and negatives before they become public. Unfortunately, someone else wants those pictures as well. After Nigel successful obtains them and learns the "demon" is his vampire sister, someone else slips into the reporter's room and leaves him dead. Several days after the convention, Sherri receives a threatening phone call demanding the pictures. Soon she finds herself swept away on a supernatural adventure to find Nigel's sister Laura. While Nigel protests the possibility of a long-term relationship, neither can resist their shared allure, plunging them into a passionate affair. Margaret Carter maintains the seductive allure of vampire legend yet lends vampires their own unique heritage in SEALED IN BLOOD. Vampires in Carter's world have their own evolutionarily and cultural background coexisting with humanity. One is born a vampire, rather than transformed, as the bitterly disappointed antagonist learns. Vampires earn livings and live among humans, though they maintain a mild sensitivity to the sun. In addition, Carter's understanding fandom and cons lends the novel an authentic background complete with filk music and fanaticism. An intricately woven novel that blends romance, adventure, suspense and the supernatural, SEALED IN BLOOD comes highly recommended.

powerful vampire romance, October 18, 2003
Berkley psychology professor Nigel Jameson is a late attendee at the Sequoiacon Science Fiction Convention, but he is not there as a fan. Instead, the real life vampire (oxymoron) seeks to gain possession of graphic photos that could expose and endanger his race to the prejudices of humans. Convention participant Keith Brewster swears he will prove that an alien creature exists on earth. Nigel enlists the aid of another attendee thirty something librarian Sherri Hudson, who though she is attracted to him, remains reluctant to break and enter someone else's room to steal the pictures. However, the duo accomplishes his mission only for him to realize from the photos that his sister is in deep trouble. Working together to rescue Laura, Sherri and Nigel fall in love even as she learns the truth about her partner. SEALED IN BLOOD is a powerful vampire romance that works on several levels besides the obvious supernatural boy and human girl falling in love. The story line is fast-paced as most fans will read in one sitting. The convention details are a delightful description of chaotic fun and the suspense thriller aspects blend quite nicely with the horror and romance ingredients. Sherri is the ideal mix of innocence, awe, and skeptic with an emphasis on the latter. Though Nigel is too perfect an upright moral individual, Margaret L. Carter provides a powerful novel that sub-genre readers will enjoy. Harriet Klausner
