Melody Knight a Vampire’s Tale is unique in being a spy thriller and a vampire novel. Melody’s involvement in a CIA assignment exposes a $51 billion human organ market, and the storyline climaxes when a weapon is developed that returns a vampire to being human. The reader experiences both: the life of a CIA operative and life within a vampire family. The Knights are presented as a blended family with all the peculiarities that accompany those unions, and it is through her experiences with her vampire family that Melody develops an acceptance and respect for humanity. The novel deals with the origin of American vampires, and a mystery/thriller edge develops when murdered children, human organ farming, and CIA corporate gains are uncovered. Melody’s growth from a depressed human bride (her fiancé was gunned on her wedding day) to a vampire that cares about humanity is shocking. The thriller edge of the novel keeps the reader turning pages; don’t miss this one.
