2024 Nostalgia Re-readathon | SVU Thriller #3: Kiss of the Vampire

A creature of the night...

Elizabeth Wakefield is falling in love...with Nicholas des Perdu, her boyfriend Tom Watts's new boss. Nicholas is tall, dark, dangerously handsome...and keeper of a deadly secret. Will Elizabeth abandon her friends, her family - and even her life - to be with the man she longs for?

Jessica Wakefield is desperate to save her twin sister - but she's up against a force stronger than any she's ever known. Together Jessica and Tom must fight the evil that threatens to destroy them all.

"Randy Mason, boy nerd turned Greek god" is not a sentence I thought I'd ever read, but here we are. Apparently the computer nerd extraordinaire has indeed grown up, filled out, ditched his glasses and even lost his freckles! He's always been gaga for Jessica, and now she's actually happy to have him around. He appears to be her latest boytoy, at least for this book, and my classic SVH canon mind just cannot wrap around this LOL.

( This is, of course, the least ridiculous thing about this book, which is basically SVU meets every Dracula derivative ever. )

Does this book many any sense? No. Is it fun? Yes. It was a great way to start this year's nostalgia re-readation, and I'm looking forward to the next!
