Sophia, beautiful and deadly, has spent the last hundred years dancing her way through the balmy nights and hot-blooded men of South America. But when her Sire sends an urgent summons, Sophia rushes home to Vancouver only to find he has disappeared, leaving nothing behind but three dead vampires and a letter with Sophia's name on it.
Colin Murphy, a former Navy SEAL, came to the Northwest seeking a quiet place to heal the scars earned in more than a decade at war. But when someone starts killing local vampires and torturing their mates, Colin takes on the mantle of a warrior once again as he sets out to find the killers and do whatever it takes to stop them, even if that means hunting with vampires.
Following her Sire's trail of death to a small town in northern Washington, Sophia unexpectedly discovers the heat of a South American night in Colin's arms. But too soon Sophia and Colin find themselves in a race to uncover the killers before the next dead vampire becomes Sophia herself.

Her "Vampires in America" continue to excel. The first pages catch you with excitement, then it is hard to put it down. Highly recommend. Heck ! I recommend this entire series !!

She leaves her home in Rio immediately and flies to Toronto where she connects on flight to Vancouver, British Columbia. There Lucien's lieutenant in name only Darren informs her that their sire has vanished, but left behind an explanatory letter and a picture of three murdered vampires for her.
Former Navy SEAL Colin Murphy works security in Cooper's Rest, just north of Seattle. Over a decade ago, he and Sophia were lovers. He learns that someone is murdering vampires and torturing their mates. He and Sophia unite to end the psychopath's killing spree. Coming to the Pacific Northwest from Malibu also seeking the murderer is Vampire Lord Raphael accompanied by his mate Cyn. Raphael is raging as two of the dead vampires (Marco and Preston) are his offspring. The four team up as a predator must be stopped.
Besides the return of stars from the previous Vampires in America urban fantasy (see Raphael, Jabril and Rajmund), Sophia is a refreshing Undead as she is confident in her power, but instead of being Lucien's lieutenant prefers her layback lifestyle in South America (or does she?). Her only weakness is courageous Colin who is human but not afraid to confront danger or vampires; especially a Brazilian beauty. With a strong whodunit and several surprising twists, readers will relish the latest entry though perhaps the series title should now be Vampires in the Western Hemisphere as D.B. Reynolds has started to go global.

This is a wonderful story in the series. This book is about Sophia and Colins. They have an interesting past and it kept me wondering what would happen next. One of the things that I enjoy about this series, is that you still hear about previous character you have grown to love!

Loved this book. Nice to see that the author made the main character a female vampire. The other books in the series were geared towards male vamps. Highly recommend this book, and the other four in the series. The characters and stories are very intense.

This is the fourth book in the series and although the title is Sophia, the book is actually about Raphael, Cynthia, Sophia and Colin, the first two commanding the plot of the book. Raphael, the Lord of Vampires, feels the death of two of is children and goes to check out what happened to them. His mate, Cynthia, hunts by day despite Raphael's objections. She teams up with Colin a local law enforcement agent who, in the past, was involved with Sophia. Sophia has returned to search for her maker after being summoned, telepathically, by him. The basic plot is a vigilante group has targetted Cynthia because they believe it will weaken Raphael. The opposite happens and after she's hurt, the vampire Lord goes hunting. For the most part, I LOVED the interaction between Cynthia and Raphael as they are characters that command your attention when together. The other parts of the story are engaging but I found myself rushing through the text to get back to the parts written for Raphael and Cynthia (I am a fan of theirs). I RECOMMEND this book to those who love vampire stories. Raphael, in my opinion, is a Master vampire bar none.
