A Kiss of Blood by Pamela Palmer

This book continues the story of Quinn Lennox and her life-changing discovery of V.C., or "Vamp City," an alternate world connected to Washington, D.C.

V.C. was created by a magician around the middle of the nineteenth century, and is decaying as the magic leaks into Quinn's D.C. It is a haven for vampires, demons, and werewolves. Without sunlight, the world remains in perpetual darkness. Outside the world dominated by humans, the balance of power has shifted: humans are slaves, serving only to feed the vampires, who need not only blood, but emotion (fear, pain, pleasure) to survive.

In the first of the series, the reader is introduced to Quinn Lennox. Quinn has been unusual all her life. With inexplicable abilities, she has remained alone, except for her younger brother, Zack. Until her brother's best friend, Lily, walks through a sunbeam into V.C. Quinn and her brother follow, only to be separated. Quinn is quickly "acquired" by a vampire named Arturo. Arturo is a fear-feeder. As usual with paranormal vampire stories, Quinn finds the vampire strangely, disturbingly attractive.
