As a vampire, Rama has few occupational options, but being a private investigator allows her the freedom to work at night as well as feed from the dregs of society.  When her latest investigation puts her in direct contact with a van Helsing, she’s not sure how she feels, especially when she discovers he’s also a vampire.  On one hand she’s attracted, on the other, she’s wary.  After all, once bitten…

John van Helsing understands irony.  He is a direct descendant of the enemy of what he’s become. Yet when he meets Rama, he realizes there’s life after becoming a vampire, as long as they can survive the threat of another immortal.

Anyone interested in a taste of vampires should pick up Fangs.  These three authors manage to create stories that will whet your appetite for more.  Each character is well developed and enjoyable.  Barbara Karmazin’s futuristic twist will keep you on your toes wondering what’s next while Suz deMello’s introduction of another immortal will keep you guessing.  Finally Eve Vaughn’s tale of another Grimaldi will have you looking for the other stories tied to it. 

The three stories in Fangs are all based on vampires but are all refreshingly different.  From the futuristic to the contemporary, these stories are all about vampires and the needs that drive them.
