"A wonderful follow up book!"
Dixie LePage and Christopher (Kit) Marlowe are now
happily living in the states. Dixie has opened a shop
called The Vampire Emporium, eight-year-old Sam Schwartz's
favorite place to go. Stella, Sam?s mom isn't too sure
about this place but Dixie is very nice so she tolerates it
for Sam's benefit. Doctor Justin Corvus, whom we met in WALK IN
MOONLIGHT, has come for an extended visit. When he meets
Stella, something just clicks. He knows nothing can come
of it but there's just something about Stella that just
draws him. When Justin finds out that Stella is taking Sam
out for Begger's Night, he tells her she must bring Sam by
the shop. Dixie and Kit are going all out and Sam will
really enjoy it. Stella has reservations but agrees to
bring Sam by. When Justin finds out that Sam wants to
dress up as a vampire for Halloween, he talks Dixie into
making him a costume from remnants of material so Stella
won't get suspicious as she is a single mother and is very
independent. Stella refuses to take any kind of charity.
Justin's kindness just about wins Stella over but still she
isn't sure about this handsome hunk of a man interested in
her. It seems as though Justin has gotten the
neighborhood bullies angry with Stella when he tells them
to stop breaking bottles on her garage door. Johnny Day,
the worst bully of all vows to get even with her and with
Justin. Late one night he does just that when he pulls a
gun on Stella and Justin. Justin steps in front of Stella
but the bullet passes right through him and kills Stella.
Justin rushes Stella to Dixie and Kit's where they talk him
into transforming her. Justin doesn't want to lose her and
even though he has reservations he transforms Stella. Now
how will this affect Stella's life and especially Sam? Justin's and Stella's story was every bit as good
as Christopher's and Dixie's. I was glued to the pages and
couldn't wait to see what would happen with Justin and
Stella and how they would deal with day-to-day life with an
eight-year-old. Rosemary Laurey threw in quite a few
intriguing aspects to make this book just a bit more
interesting! I eagerly look forward to the next book in
this highly entertaining series.
