All seems to be going as well as expected until a tall, dark and mysterious stranger appears to her one night at the end of a darkened hospital corridor. A little bit terrified and somewhat intrigued, Nora strains through the shadows for a better glimpse of the man wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt and dark boots, before he vanishes into the darkness.

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 modern settings. Real life was often quite a scary place for Reese, who had battled her entire life against eerie premonitions that always managed to come true. Things get a little too real when the photo of a dead girl right from her nightmares ends up on Reese's desk. Instead Reese finagles her way all the way to Romania to investigate something a lot safer: a vampire. However once Reese and her co-worker, Brody, hit Bucharest, she makes a disheartening discovery. Her psychic gift - or curse - kicks into overdrive, especially concerning the victims of a serial killer who fancies himself a vampire. Victims turn 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. It's a pathway of clues that could lead her to the killer, or send her completely over the edge. TASTE OF BLOOD is the psychological thriller from author Ginger Voight, whose genre-bending novels like MY IMMORTAL and DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS dig into the macabre to unearth suspense, romance and drama.
