All I Want For Christmas is a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks
Reviewed by Sharon Forret
Fans of Kerrelyn Sparks’ enormously popular Love at Stake series have been anxiously waiting for the story of Ian MacPhie, a Scottish warrior turned vampire, doomed forever to look only fifteen years old. Well, this year Christmas has come early for Ms. Sparks’ fans and for Ian because he’s aged a dozen years with the help of a special potion.
Ian is truly unique hero. A grown man and battle-scarred warrior on the inside, he’s been treated for centuries like the fifteen year old his outward appearance reflected. Now that he has “matured,” he must find his way through the modern dating scene—a complex situation that is at turns laugh-out-loud funny and tenderly poignant. Armed with his grown-up physique, sweetly old-fashioned Ian is looking for a special lady to share his life. He only has a few requirements: honesty, loyalty, intelligence and beauty—but not necessarily in that order. Above all, she must be a vampire like him. Enter an honest, loyal, intelligent and beautiful mortal stage right. Though she’d rather not have anything to do with them, Toni Davis has her reasons for getting mixed up in the immortal world. Ian’s enemies, the Malcontents, have kidnapped her best friend, and Toni will risk anything to save her friend—even getting close to the beings whom she hates.
Kerrelyn Sparks’ novels all have broad, cross-genre appeal. Romance readers who have never read a paranormal before will love this witty, sexy series. Fans of dark paranormal will delight in Sparks’ wry humor.
All I Want for Christmas is a Vampire, the fifth book in the Love at Stake series, is the perfect companion to snuggle up to this holiday season!
