"Hypnotic Vampire Tale"
Vivienne Courbet was born in Paris, but ultimately ran away
from her
home. In 1719, she went to a brothel, The where the news of
her beauty,
youth and innocence eventually reached the attention of her
employers
Victor and Mona. The duo was as impressed as her customers
and converted
the vibrant Vivienne into one of them, a vampire. She easily changed to her new lifestyle and became the
toast of Paris,
but left her birth city during the height of the Terror of
the French
Revolution. She lived quite comfortably into the twenty-
first century
when she became head of the powerful vampire council the
Cadre at a
critical time when the Others attack her species. Vivienne
knows she and her
kind must identity and either neutralize or destroy their
enemy before
she and others like her permanently die. For all those horror and supernatural readers who have
followed the
Vampire Legacy, the current tale THE VAMPIRE VIVIENNE
provides many of the
answers left open from the previous books. The tale also
features the
return of popular characters to add to the feel of
completeness. Yet
Karen E Taylor also refreshes her story line with a
brilliant twist that
entertains and hypnotizes sub-genre fans. Harriet Klausner
