BOOK SYNOPSIS: When I found the ancient tomb of the two most powerful vampires in history, I knew I was in for a lot of trouble…..

But archaeologists like me, Moira Jameson, are ready for trouble. Okay, maybe not human-species-threatening trouble. Or the kind of trouble that arrives in the form of a sexy werewolf named Drake. Yeah. Werewolf. And I thought ancient curses and walking corpses were a joke. Um..not so much.

‘Cause a walking corpse Named Karn wants to reveal vampires, and all of parakind, to the humans. And everyone else thinks that’s a bad idea. Then a pyramid mysteriously appears in Broken Heart, Oklahoma, and I’m appointed to get inside, survive booby traps, and awaken two very old, very hungry vampires. Luckily, Drake has my back (and my front). Unfortunately, archaeology sometimes reveals some very nasty surprises. And I’ll have to decide between saving myself…or saving the world.

REVIEW:
This is the ninth novel in the Broken Heart Vampires series and I’m in love with this Oklahoma town where most paranormal beings call home. The main character, Moira Jameson, has the reputation of being difficult among her University colleagues but her love of archaeology has kept her going after the death of her grandfather. When she comes upon a mysterious pyramid during an excavation, all hell breaks loose and she finds out that she has been chosen to awaken two very old vampires and help save mankind. Michele Bardsley’s novels are so full of imagination and humor, it is difficult not to fall for these characters. Moira has such a great heart even though her life has been filled with tragedy and I enjoyed that she was fiercely protective of the people in her life. She understands that she must be the one to free the elder vampires even though Drake would love to take that responsibility from her. Drake is the strong silent type that instantly wants Moira to be his mate and does everything to protect her which was a trait I instantly loved about his character. I was captivated by this story and finished it within one sitting. The humor will have you laughing out loud and the story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved visiting the town of Broken Heart and was sad when this story had to end and I’m looking forward to heading back to this lovely town soon in Michele’s next novel.
