A new, vicious breed of vampire has come to town. With a queen-run hive-mind mentality and a parasite spread through their saliva, these are not your average Louis or Edward. Kate has to find a way to maintain her status as Not Prey -- before she ends up as the next Thrall queen.TOUCH OF EVIL is a deviously delightful romp of a horror novel! I enjoyed this from beginning to end. Though the romantic element offered in Kate's new tenant (the werewolf firefighter-slash-calendar-model) was a bit rough around the edges, it added a nice splash of lighter fare to counter some of the truly evil plots being pulled off by the bad guys. I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable, engaging read.
