| Plot Summary of Candle Bay |
|---|
"Twentysomething Amanda Pierce is starting her job as concierge at an exclusive resort on the California coast. What she doesn't know is that the owners are a family of vampires and that a mafia style war is brewing with a rival family. The author has created a hierarchy of villans-from the merely obnoxious to the downright repulsive. "
Eric Hoheisel, Resident Scholar
