ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A VAMPIRE: Love at Stake Book 5 by Kerrelyn Sparks

Genre Paranormal Romance

Reviewed by Danny


Toni’s best friend was sent to a psychiatric institution because she said she was attacked by vampires. Toni promises to find evidence that vampires exist and therefore she accepts a daytime job at Romatech security to work in the household of an assumed vampire. There she meets Ian McPhie who turns her whole life upside down. He teaches her the difference between good and bad vampires, but although she feels attracted to him, can she trust him to tell the truth? And is he really going to help her to free her friend?

For me Ms. Sparks is the Queen of the funny Vampire Romance, because all of her books are special and each of them is unique. Ian McPhie’s long awaited story is no exception to this rule. From the first page to the end, the book is absolutely spell binding and it is a wonderful combination of comedy, romance and suspense as well as some darker elements that will sometimes keep you on the edge of your chair.

Ian was from the beginning one of my favorite characters and I could hardly wait till he got his story, at one point I was worried because the expectation was pretty high, but I wasn’t disappointed.

Fasten your seatbelt for an emotional roller coaster ride, because Ian and Toni have to overcome quite a few obstacles till they find their happy end. In addition to the wonderful story of Ian and Toni, we meet a lot of old friends and new friends are introduced, who we will hopefully see more of in the future.

I can highly recommend ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A VAMPIRE to everyon, who is looking for a funny, sexy book to warm up their cold winter evening.

i'm glad ian looked old enough to be considered a man. it was sad that people always mistook him as 15. he wasn't even allowed in a vampire's club. which makes no sense to me. if a vampire talks and dresses like he's centuries old, you'd think they can guess that he is WAY older than 15. who carries swords for battle anymore? i'm glad that i got a chance to hear about carlos yay!!!!!!!!! i always wondered if there were more thn just vamps in the books. but then after reading jean-luc's and the anthology, i'm glad to know there are more creatures of the night. :D i can't wait to read giacomo but i really want to read phil and vanda. now i did ot expect them to e a couple. but love is always strange.
