21. Immortal Sins

By Amanda Ashley

Vampire Jason Rourke was trapped in a painting 300 years ago by a wizard, in retribution for seducing the wizard’s daughter. Karinna Adams sees the painting in a local gallery and her fascination with it leads her to purchase it. Once she has it installed in her home she’s plagued with visions of the handsome man in the painting until one night she makes a wish and sets him free.

It’s not just his 300 year old thirst that draws Rourke to Kari, he’s never met anyone like her before. Her kindness and generosity of spirit make him feel things he didn’t think he was capable of feeling. She helps him adjust to the modern world, then helps him on his quest to free the wizard’s daughter, who was also trapped in a painting.

There’s lost of great action in this book and I really loved the characters. The ending was superb – when the wizard realizes the curse over Rourke was broken he comes after him, but finds Karinna instead. He’s defeated, but not before he traps Kari in a painting. Rourke is willing to sacrifice himself by going back into the painting, as long as he can spend eternity with the woman he loves.

Definitely a keeper!
