We are back in the European Otherworld city of Nouveau Monde with Olena Petrovich, vampiress and CSI agent; who is excited about her first time being lead investigator. The case starts out weird; with a bank robbery but no money was taken, and only some of the safety deposit boxes were robbed.
Unfortunately for Olena her excitement does not last long, within minutes of being on the case Interpol agent Cale Braxton shows up and tries to take over. Wondering why a human agency would be interested in a simply bank robbery and how Cale arrived on the scene so fast, Olena calls Gabriel her boss. He orders her to assist Cale on the case and to keep him safe.
Cale has to overcome is own prejudice of vampires as he and Olena follow leads that take them into the night life and some of the seedier side of Nouveau Monde. As the tension builds and they not only have to fight off the bad guys but their growing attraction for each other.
Vivi Anna still has it, a perfect blend of mystery, suspense, paranormal and romance! In this fifth installment of the Valorian Chronicles series, she shows why she is still on my must read list! I really like how with each new book we are able to see more sides to the characters. Ms Anna is able to portray characters in such a way that they seem to come alive for me. It is not often that you can say that the fifth book is better than the last, but this is the case with The Vampires Kiss.

Note: this book can be read as a stand alone but I am sure that once you read one it will just like potato chips, so here are the previous books in order.
1. Blood Secrets (Caine Valorian and Eve Grant's story)
2. Dark Lies (Jace Jericho and Tala Channing's story)
3. Veiled Truth (Lyra Magice and Theron LeNoir's story)
4. Vampires Quest (Kellen Falcon and Sophie St. Clair)
