DeVante's Coven - in paperback Oct 2009

[devante9901]

 The first book of my vampire trilogy will be available in paperback from Amazon.com (and I believe Barnes and Noble booksellers) possibly as soon as next week! (The next installment, DeVante's Children is available as an ebook now (www.torquerebooks.com), and is scheduled to hit paperback next spring).

Yes, I know there are books about vampire-everything these days, from brides to PI's, but these are not Twilight vampires, boys and girls, nor are they the silly watered-down harlequinesque vamps found in chick lit. DeVante and his coven love and hurt, and fuck and kill. There are no neutered vampires between these covers.  (Scroll for book back synopsis).

 

DeVante's Coven by SM Johnson

 When Roderick abandons new vampire Daniel to the care of his sire, DeVante, Daniel flounders under DeVante's attitude of benevolent neglect. He establishes an after hours party house, which becomes his primary source for blood, and wonders how much autonomy DeVante will actually allow. Yearning for guidance and supervision, Daniel pursues Reed, a mortal man, and finds himself ensnared in a relationship rich with elements of BDSM.

 Meanwhile, Roderick has fled to Las Vegas, where he saves the life of a young man named Tony by changing him to vampire. Only something goes wrong, because when Tony wakes up he doesn't act like a fledgling vampire should. And when the sun rises and Roderick sleeps his vampire sleep, Tony walks out into the daylight and goes home, where he accidentally changes his roommate Lily to vampire. Roderick wakes to find that he now has two brand new fledglings, neither of whom he can control. He panics and does the only thing can think to do; bring them to DeVante in San Francisco. When they arrive, Roderick is shattered to learn Daniel has a new lover.

Vampires, mortals, and Tony, who's something else altogether, are all beholden to DeVante for protection, though each has a special talent. DeVante notices this and begins to suspect that an outside force has brought all these children to him for some nefarious purpose. Before he can put the pieces together, the whole group is snatched and held for ransom. The price? Help a vicious vampire from DeVante's past take over the mortal world. The monster would use their talents against them, but the coven discovers that together they can defeat even the strongest evil.
