title: Stolen Nights: A Vampire Queen Novel
author:  Rebecca Maizel 
description: Gr 8 Up-In the modern world, elemental magic is all but forgotten except by those who seek to use it to gain power: namely, the vampires. Lenah Beaudonte, 500-year-old ex-vampire queen, and her soul mate, Rhode, used elemental magic to turn Lenah into a human teenager. The cost: Rhode's death. Or so she thought. The adventure truly begins with Rhode's reappearance and the zealotry of a vampire from Lenah's past who seeks to learn the secret of her human ritual to become her successor. The tale is fast paced, with a lot of vamp combat and a complex weave of Lenah's many romances throughout her centuries of living. At first, this novel seems to lack luster in its genre, but timeless themes of love and the search for identity, in addition to the cliff-hanger ending, leave readers pondering Lenah's choices and keenly anticipating the next installment. Fans of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" saga (Little, Brown) and P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast's "House of Night" series (St. Martin's Griffin) will find their appetites for the paranormal sated with Maizel's twist on vampire lore.-Jamie-Lee Schombs, Loyola School, New York City(c) Copyright 2013.

  Even an immortal can know the taste of fear…
  
  
  Lilith awakens cold, naked and alone—and comletely unaware of her own
  identity. All she knows is that someone is after her, so she has to run—or
  die.
  
  
  When Ethan discovers the terrified woman hiding on his ranch, he knows
  immediately not only _who_ she is, but also _what_. He’s never forgotten her,
  not in all the time since he escaped their joint prison, a clandestine CIA
  facility where humans are bred into vampires willing to kill on command. He
  refused to accept that fate, and since he won his freedom he’s become a legend
  to those he left behind. With her own escape, Lilith has become a legend, too,
  and now, together, they have no choice but to fight their pursuers, whose goal
  is to become a legend by killing one.
