She is also a friend to the secret community of vampires living in Los Angeles, and occasionally she assists them when they have a problem that requires a human to handle it. The vampires are led by Voshki Kevorkian, a gorgeous, sexy female vampire, who has made it clear that she would like Dante to be her human.

Dante travels to a small town in upstate California where the Children seem to be active, in the company of Ellis Kovacs, another vampire sired by Voshki, and Voshki\u2019s &#8220;right-hand woman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There, whilst investigating the Children and their leader Robin Shepherd, Dante succumbs to being seduced by the alluring Ellis.

I\u2019m an agent. I\u2019m not paranoid, I don\u2019t think the entire world revolves around me, and I know my clients are too savvy to their own careers to even think about stalking me. Therefore I don\u2019t live behind high fences and locked gates. Most of the time I don\u2019t even bother to close the gates to my Hollywood Hills property. There are, however, certain events that could make me rethink this open-living policy, such as being dragged out of bed by a vampire at six o\u2019clock in the morning. Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014waking up to Ellis Kovacs is not entirely <i>unpleasant <\/i>either, since she is rather attractive. For the Undead, I mean. I\u2019m just so not a morning person that having anyone\u2014even the gorgeous vampire Ellis\u2014drag me out of my bed at six a.m. is annoying. The reason for the disruption of my (much needed) beauty sleep was Voshki Kevorkian. Voshki is the vampire community leader. She wanted a meeting with me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt six a.m.?\u201d I demanded.<\/p>\n<p>Ellis shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It had better be. There I was, attired in boxer shorts and a scruffy NYU t-shirt that some ex or other had left in my closet maybe a million years ago, my hair going every which way to Sunday, trying to claw the sleep from my brain and make sense of what was going on, and what wisdom does Ellis impart to me?<\/p>\n<p><i>That my t-shirt has seen better days.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Well, shit, hold the front page. I shook my head at her crap and wandered off toward the bathroom. Over my shoulder I yelled, \u201cI\u2019m taking a shower! I don\u2019t care if Vosh has to wait an extra fucking five minutes! Am I making myself clear?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrystal,\u201d Ellis replied dryly.<\/p>\n<p>I stood under the hot jets of water, letting them massage my body and brain into wakefulness, and rested my forehead against the cool wall tiles, all the while trying to ignore the fact there were two vampires making themselves at home in my house. Ellis had brought Samson with her, Voshki\u2019s driver and occasional enforcer. Or something. There are vampire affairs into which even a curious person like me just will not poke her nose. Slowly I felt myself come to resemble something actually belonging to the human race and not the Undead, and at that point I turned the water cold on and let that shock the last dregs of nighttime from my system. A cup of extremely strong black coffee and I\u2019d be good to go.<\/p>\n<p>As I stepped out of the shower, eyes closed because my hair was running rivulets of water down my face, I put out my hand to grab my towel only to have it thrust into my groping fingers. My eyelids flew open. Water blurred my vision and I swiped the towel across my face. Then remembered I was naked. I hastily wrapped the towel around me, fumbling because my fingers had become as useful as bananas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Chrissakes, haven\u2019t you guys heard of knocking?\u201d I demanded.<\/p>\n<p>Ellis gave me a devastatingly sexy smile that also somehow contrived to be innocent. It made me want to run away and throw myself at her feet, both at the same time. I\u2019ve known Ellis for a while, and the whole time I have noticed that her smile can make my knees turn to water. And I hate her for that. Vampires confuse me much of the time. \u201cSorry,\u201d she said, sounding like she really wasn\u2019t. She jerked her chin toward the open bathroom door and the upstairs hallway beyond. \u201cSamson is in the kitchen. He\u2019s making up some juice for you. And there\u2019s a pot ofcoffee on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I raised an eyebrow. \u201cNo bagels?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet dressed, Dante. We don\u2019t want to keep Vosh waiting <i>that <\/i>long,\u201d Ellis told me.<\/p>\n<p>No. That would never do.<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p>I should explain. First of all, yes, vampires do exist. Secondly, no, I don\u2019t know whether this means <i>other <\/i>supernatural creatures also exist. I certainly never have met anything remotely resembling a werewolf or a fairy or a troll, although how would I know, right? The vampires don\u2019t look like vampires, and they have been living amongst humans undetected for millennia, so there should be no reason a werewolf or a fairy or a troll ought not be able to do the same. If the vampires know about any supernatural cousins, they are keeping it under their collective hats. And thirdly, I don\u2019t really care if the world is teeming with werewolves, fairies and trolls\u2014I had a hard enough time just wrapping my head around the fact that vampires are real when I found that out. Occasionally I still have trouble with it.<\/p>\n<p>Vampires are very little like their media portrayals. Sorry, but the fiction-mongers have been way off for decades. All of that not being able to go out in sunlight, being allergic to garlic and crosses and running water, being able to turn into bats\u2014it\u2019s all moonshine. Most of it perpetrated by the vampires themselves. The very reason they have been able to coexist with humans unnoticed for thousands of years has been a fortuitous mix of their own ability to adapt and blend in, and the limitless capacity of we humans to be deluded. Of course, there have always been some humans in the know, since the vampires do need us for things beyond the obvious feeding requirements. A vampire\u2019s genetic makeup is somewhat different to that of a human\u2014shocker, huh? Having people in strategic places to keep things like this from coming to light is a necessary evil for them. They are choosy about who they let in on their existence. I suppose I am honored then\u2014not that it often feels much like an honor.<\/p>\n<p>As for feeding, they drink human blood from willing human donors. Not victims, <i>donors<\/i>. Vampires can also go out in daylight just fine\u2014they would hardly have lasted as a race if they could <i>not <\/i>go out in daylight\u2014although they must take certain <i>precautions <\/i>if they are going to be in direct sunlight for a prolonged time. A very strong sun block and very dark sunglasses will suffice. In fact, once you really start to think about most of the \u201cvampire legends,\u201d you also start to realize that they, like most legends, just don\u2019t stand up to close scrutiny. I know about vampires because I belong to a family made up of the kind of people whom they have always found helpful. I mentioned before that I\u2019m an agent. An entertainment agent. I reside in LA, in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m very successful. Why be falsely modest about it? I can get my A-list clients an audience with Stephen Spielberg just by lifting the phone. My father is a criminal lawyer who switched to entertainment law, and I\u2019ll leave it to your imagination the ways in which he has often found himself mixing those two disciplines on behalf of both his actors and vampire clients. My mother was a movie producer. I say \u201cwas\u201d because she retired from doing much of anything some years ago. Her heyday was during the 1970s and 1980s. Throughout those decades, trying to avoid drugs in Hollywood was a bit like trying not to get sunstroke walking naked across the Sahara, and my mother was spectacularly unsuccessful at avoiding anything she could swallow, inhale, or smoke. The years of drug and alcohol abuse have fried her brain. Before that, however, she was a close friend and respected colleague of many top movie people, including Spielberg. Which is how I can command a personal audience with the man so easily.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s how I got involved with the vampires.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was my first foray into reading F\/F fiction.\u00a0 I wasn&#8217;t exactly sure what to expect, but I was impressed.\u00a0 It was a very good story with an ending leading you to believe there will be more coming.\u00a0 The love triangle between Dante, Ellis and Voshki was portrayed very well.\u00a0 The incorporation of vampires into Hollywood was done as easy as if it were true.\u00a0 The characters and the story were very well done, but I do wish that there had been a bit more to it.\u00a0 I kinda felt it was a bit rushed and a few of the questions could have been answered in this story if it had been a bit longer.\u00a0 Overall, I enjoyed my first F\/F paranormal romance was a good story and highly enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to thank Devon Marshall for stopping by today and promoting <em>Dante&#8217;s Awakening<\/em>.\u00a0 I would also like to thank Bewitching Book tours for letting me host a stop on this tour.\u00a0 For more information about Devon Marshall click on her links below.\u00a0 For more information about <em>Dante&#8217;s Awakening<\/em> you can go to Barnes and Noble, Amazon or any other book retailer.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/10\/002_-_author_photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-999\" title=\"002_-_Author_Photo\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/10\/002_-_author_photo.jpg?w=300\" height=\"180\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a>About the Author:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Devon discovered at an early age that she had a fertile imagination and a profound love for words which together led to her writing stories.
