Blood Memories — Barb Hendee

For ages, they have lived among mortals, in the shadows, hiding their true selves from the eyes of humanity -- until now.

Eleisha.Clevon is no angel, although she has the face of one. A vampire, she's far older than she looks -- and she makes men yearn to care for her. A few even survive the experience. Eleisha might not like to kill, but she knows self-preservation must come first.

So when an old vampire friend kills himself, Eleisha is shocked. What she finds afterward shows how world-weary he had become--hoarding drained corpses and keeping records of vampires' actual names and addresses. Now the police know who Eleisha is and, more alarmingly, what she is. But She soon realizes that being known may have its pros -- even if it puts her and her kind at risk.
