Reviewer Comments: Chancella Tremaine, an author and doctor, is fascinated with vampires, although she does not believe they exist. In fact she has theoretically found a way to restore vampires back to life and has written a book about this cure. However, she has no vampire on whom to experiment. Thus far she has used mice, vampirizing them, with the help of an assistant, Nick, who is not all that he seems.

Valian has grown weary of life as a vampire. He desires to have his life back - no matter the cost. Hearing of Chancella, he makes a dinner appointment with her, passing himself off as a doctor.

Jack, also a vampire, has one desire – revenge against Valian, who he feels stole his one true love, making her a vampire and taking her away from him forever. Now he has the perfect opportunity for revenge – preventing Valian from getting his life back. How far will he go to get his revenge and how many will pay the price?

Chancella, ending her latest book tour, has one last dinner engagement before she can relax. What she doesn’t know is that she will have to get past more than dinner before she can rest again. Unbeknownst to her, tonight’s dinner partner is her dream come true – an actual vampire she can use to try out her theory. Shocked at first, she grows accustomed to the fact that there really are vampires. As Chancella and Valian send time together, the attraction between them grows stronger. Will she be able to help him overcome his vampirism? Can she survive the experimentation with her life intact?

THE CURE is a fascinating story. Compelling suspense will keep you turning pages to find out what happens next. However, you may want to read it in the daylight. The secondary characters enrich this story. Susan Phelan has penned an engrossing novel you will not want to miss. NOTE: Explicit violence
