Single White Vampire - Argeneau Series Book 3

Single White Vampire is the story of a writer and his editor, thrown together into the craziness of a romance convention. But this is not your standard writer... no, he is a 600+ year old Immortal... a Vampire. But Lucern is not your stereotypical vampire... he was born a vampire, can go into a church, has a reflection, loves garlic, and doesn't need to sleep in a coffin. He can even go out into the son, though it means that the nanos in his blood that keep him young need to work harder, causing him to drink more blood to replenish the nanos keeping him alive.

While this book is actually the third book in the Argeneau Series by Lynsay Sands, it was published first originally and I feel it's the best introduction to the Argeneau family and their quirks. Lucern is the oldest of his siblings and has grown bored with life. Enter his young female editor, persistently pestering him to go on a book tour or at least do an interview or two. Tricked into agreeing to go a romance convention, Lucern finds himself the center of attention as a new writer of a popular vampire romance series, masquerading as fiction. We are able to watch Lucern start out as a bitter reclusive man, frustrated with the world around him, and slowly open up into a man with hope and a hidden sense of humor.

If you are looking for a dark Dracula-esque story, this is not for you. If you are willing to open your mind and laugh and fall in love with characters who are vampires by scientific methods rather than fate or horror - to see the world through the eyes of people who are just like us with the side benefit of living hundreds of years - then I urge you to pick up this story. I do recommend going back to Book 1 (A Quick Bite) after this and reading the rest of the stories in order, but you can't beat Lucern's story for a fun and unique introduction to a wonderful cast of characters.
