Savannah Russe has created a unique and interesting twist on the vampire paranormal. Beneath The Skin gives us an organized group of secret agents dedicated, albeit reluctantly at first, to fighting terrorism and evil. Russe fresh take brings readers into the story and her great knack for bringing action and complex plot to the mix create a great read.

Beneath The Skin give readers a funny modern woman locked inside a vampire as a heroine with relationship problems and even a controlling Mom. Daphne Urban is a sexy, savvy and strong heroine that feels almost like a mortal, except for her super powers and need to eat blood. Daphne has a whole group of prospects in the dating pool and Russe adds a few new men just to keep it interesting. Russe has just gotten better and better with her series and readers should look forward to more.
