"BENEATH THE SKIN is darker than the two previous books, and fits more the urban fantasy than the paranormal romance genre . . . BENEATH THE SKIN is definitely my favorite in the series and ensures that I will keep reading to see what else Savannah Russe has in store for us!" --Debbie in CK2's Kwips and Kritiques

Life certainly hasn't gotten any easier for vampire Daphne Urban. In the third chapter of this first-person series, she finds herself at a crossroads and in danger of losing her hard-won identity. Rising star Russe really puts her heroine through the wringer, both emotionally and physically. Daphne's exploits make for highly entertaining reading!
