"There were no such things as vampires. Much less a covert government agency devoted to researching them. And yet, here was the proof that there were."

 it’s mouth-wateringly delicious

     The majority of the story takes place 5 years after the previous book. The DPI headquarters is destroyed. Maxine was the biggest believer that “The Cancer Research Facility” was just a big cover up, so she dragged her friends along to snoop around the place. Seeing if they can find info into what was really going on. In her snooping Maxine unknowingly comes across Frank Stiles, DPI agent, he accidently drops important items that Maxine picks up. Important information all about the vampires DPI had been tracking and hunting. Frank threatens Maxine by threatening to hurt her friends and family if she tells anyone what she knows. So she keeps quiet until Lou (Maxine’s long time crush) introduces her to Lydia. Lydia’s friend was murdered by a vampire and she thinks vampires really exist. Lou wants Maxine to convince Lydia that there is no such thing as vampires. Unfortunately, Maxine cannot because she knows that they are real. While investigating the murder she is led to Morgan. Morgan, an up and coming writer, stumbles across Dante’s journals thinking it’s just someone’s unpublished book about being a vampire. Morgan becomes obsessed with his life story and turns it into a movie not knowing that Dante really does exist.

     I really liked this book. Every time I would put it down, I would think about picking it right back up. I love Maxine’s playful nature towards Lou; he is older and refuses to see her as anything but a kid (so she thinks). Even Sarafina, Dante’s Aunt/Sire made the story come together, a lot of exciting reveals and twists. Maggie Shayne’s world of Vamps is so amazingly captivating; I’m already in love with this series!
