Every vampire series has a creation story of how they got that way. Sands' tale is that they once were an advanced race of people who created scientific nanos to cure disease and keep the body in top condition. And then their home world of Atlantis was destroyed. But the nanos adapted - requiring the user to use up more blood to keep their body going. And that adaption brought upon the vampire characteristics - moving swiftly, great strength, the need for more blood, and yes - fangs. But while these Immortals may be old (they like the name Immortals better - vampire is a human term...) they have moved into modern society quite nicely - having set up their own blood banks, and businesses in the twentieth century.
Sands' books are different - just for the unique relationships - when's the last time you had an older heroine - worried about hitting on / being attracted to a young guy - when in reality - he thinks she is perfect - cause he's over 200 and she's only 60. The story lines are not atypical - just when you think this reads similar - she'll give you a twist. And then there is the humor. I love romances with humor. The vampires know their situation is usual, and sounds crazy - but they still have very human characteristics and emotions. I promise you will laugh out loud.
And then there are the families. It starts with the Argeneaus - very prolific family - full of cousins and connections and then come along the Nottes and their friends, and co-workers. If you like detailed series full of characters, try these. In fact one of the best parts of A Quick Bite - is the family's reactions to the new guy/boyfriend.
So come along for the fun ride and try a Lynsay Sands' paranormal title today. Oh, did I mention she also does historicals?
Have fun reading!
