I think, if I were to be an author, one of the hardest things to do would be to write a sequel. I mean, here you write this fantastic book that people are loving and raving about and recommending to their friends, your doing interviews on reviewer's blogs, and your fans are telling you how they can't wait for you to write the next book. Ummm, no pressure right? Sit back and think about it...I would probably be sitting in front of my laptop stumped as to how I can go above and beyond, keeping in line with the main characters, plot line, bringing in some newbies, and a new setting but still keeping my readers attention, and giving them something new and something comfortable (like your favorite pair of jeans, you know, they just "fit") at the same time. Well guess what folks, Tim has done just that. Page one gripped me right back into Kiera's life. After the events at The Ragged Cove, she is now off the Force and meeting a therapist weekly to see if she is mentally stable to return to duty. Why wouldn't she be? She only witnessed something no human was ever suppose to see. With her life a complete mess, she is obsessing with any clue to where her friends Luke, Potter and Murphy could be and also any signs that the evil vampyrus have returned.

Enter the mysterious Lady Hunt, whose husband has disappeared, who has come calling to Keira's apartment to "hire" her to come to her manor and keep watch over her problem-child teenage daughter Kayla. Everyone has a secret and everyone has their own agenda, from the prim and proper housekeeper to the freaky looking gatekeeper, to trouble-follows-me-everywhere Kayla. Too many questions are filling Kiera's head, where has Kayla's mother run off to, why did her father just disappear, where are her friends, why does she keep getting these blinding visions and why does her eye bleed after each one, and what is up with the dark, under contruction, forbidden wing at the manor?

From the time I write this, it has been four days since I finished Vampire Wake and I am still going through it in my head. Full of moments of shock, laughter, and breath taking surprise. The new characters introduced fit in perfectly to the story line and I was glad to see some of the characters from book one return. Questions from Vampire Shift are answered and things start making sense. The story will continue into book three, which will hopefully be out by the end of the year and I cannot wait to see what happens next! Once again, well done Tim!
