Reese Mackenzie built a life around fantastic fabrication. As a top reporter at an international tabloid magazine, she made headlines with stories that involved mythical creatures in a modern setting. It was a safe haven for this petite blond with ambition to spare. Especially since real life was often quite a scary place for Reese, who had battled her entire life against scary premonitions that always managed to come true, even when she risked everything to prevent just that.
Eventually she was able to suppress these psychic tendencies underneath prescription medications, and if that didn't work she would simply run away. After another nightmare with an all-too-real victim, Reese finagled her way to Romania to investigate a vampire killer.
It sounded perfect, even though she had to share the credit and the accommodations with Brody Vaughn, her flirtatious coworker who cared more about his insatiable libido than his job.
Once Reese and Brody hit Bucharest, however, she makes the frightening discovery that her gift ? her curse ? was kicked into overdrive, especially concerning the victims of a serial killer who fancies himself a vampire. Victims were turning up completely drained of all their blood from puncture holes in the neck, in some gruesome encore performance of the Transylvania of lore.
Instead of limiting themselves strictly to her dreams, Reese's premonitions begin to arrive via physical contact with future victims. While she tries to piece together her erratic psychic evidence, Romanian police desperate to find their killer zone in on her implausible connection to each of the victims.
Brody becomes her unwitting partner as she explores the underworld of Bucharest, where human blood suckers lurk in seedy secret nightclubs, ready to make all her nightmares come true. It's a pathway of clues that could lead her to the killer, or send her completely over the edge.
"Taste of Blood" is a gritty mix of Gothic vampire lore and an urban crime thriller. Imagine "Interview With a Vampire" meets "Se7en." This tale was originally fashioned a screenplay and optioned by a director and cultivated through a studio.

Autorentext
Ginger Voight is a screenwriter and bestselling author with over twenty published titles in fiction and nonfiction. She covers everything from travel to politics in nonfiction, as well as romance, paranormal, and dark, "ripped from the headlines" topics like Dirty Little Secrets.
Ginger discovered her love for writing in sixth grade, courtesy of a Halloween assignment. From then on, writing became a place of solace, reflection, and security. This was never more true than when she found herself homeless in L.A. at the age of nineteen. There, she wrote her first novel, longhand on notebook paper, while living out of her car.
In 1995, after she lost her nine-day-old son, she worked through her grief by writing the story that would eventually become The Fullerton Family Saga.
In 2011, she embarked on a new journey?to publish romance novels starring heroines who look more like the average American woman. These "Rubenesque" romances have developed a following thanks to her bestselling Groupie series. Other titles, such as the highly-rated New Adult series, Fierce, tap into the "reality-TV" preoccupation in American entertainment, which gives her contemporary stories a current, pop culture edge.
Known for writing gut-twisting angst, Ginger isn't afraid to push the envelope with characters who are perfectly imperfect. Whether rich, poor, sweet, selfish, gay, straight, plus-size or svelte, her characters are beautifully flawed and three-dimensional. They populate her lavish fictional landscapes and teach us more about the real world in which we live simply through their interactions with each other. Ginger's goal with every book is to give the reader a little bit more than they were expecting, told through stories they'll never forget.
