Blood Memories by Barb Hendee
4.0
An above-average vampire novel (~3.5 stars), and the 1st book of a series.
PLOT (NO SPOILERS): There are fewer than 10 vampires left in the entire world, or so our heroine vampire has been told for ages. Most of them remain hidden. But then one of the vamps suddenly commits suicide. And our heroine encounters a man with most unusual talents. She begins to wonder if what she has believed for years is all just a lie. And who is the cop who knows about hidden vampire society?
No werewolves, fairies, or goblins. Perhaps one other type of supernatural creature (here or in Book 2), but I won't tell.
Recommended for those who want some real vampires in their vampire novels. This is a moderately serious paranormal book, but it's not super-dark or terrifying. I'd say it's somewhere between Anne Rice (denser, darker) and Charlaine Harris (lighter, sillier).
