After Sundown

Edward Ramsey was a vampire hunter until while fighting a powerful vampire with another vampire (Grigori) he is almost killed and is turned into a vampire. At first he hates what he has become, until he meets Kelly. He wants to love her but does not think it is fair. He once loved Grigori's wife Marissa, who is a mortal. Then they all have to come together to fight an evil vampire. I enjoyed this book and learned it has a prequel "Shades of Grey" which is about Grigori and his wife. Five stars great romance and story!

This is one great vampire novel. Not your run of the mill story. It has love, action, terror and is full of surprises. I like the inclusion of the characters from "Shades of Gray." I thought Edward and Grigori's stories combined to make a really exciting book. Unlike some other reviewers, I thought Edward received enough attention. I liked Kelly and love Marissa and their relationship with the vampires. Khira was an added thrill and Ted brought some humor into a really terrifying situation. Amanda Ashley has really done it this time with both "Shades of Gray" and "After Sundown." Read them in sequence and you are in for a really terrific weekend. Pay no attention to the negative comments. I am a vampire novel fan and have read so many I can't count them. These two novels are at the top of my list for every reason that one reads vampire novels. You will not be disappointed.

To understand where this book picks up you should read shades of grey.I thought this book was great I have not read many other books by her but I plan to. I just wanted to say this book was great.And I encourge more people to read her books.

Edward Ramsey is one of the best vampire hunters around. He has now become one of the hunted and is determined to end his existence as a vampire until he meets up with Kelly Anderson on the night she decided to commit suicide. He saves her life and they become roommates and much more. She replaces the love he thought he would always have for another.Khira, the queen of vampires, leaves Italy and unexpectedly shows up in LA looking for her handsome vampire, ex-lover Grigori wanting to rekindle the flame. She finds him happily married to a mere mortal and begins to destroy all other undead in ?her? territory. Edward has no choice but to team up with Grigori, the 200-year-old vampire he should be hunting but once teamed up with to kill the evil vampire Alexi, the one who stole Marisa?s love from him and the one who bestowed the Dark Gift to him unawares. Insert Tom Duncan a vampire hunter who was once Edward?s best friend/hunting partner who also shows up in LA with all the tools of the trade to hunt and kill Grigori.It was an excellent idea for Ms. Amanda Ashley aka Madeline Baker to write this story. It was great to read more about Grigori and Marisa whose story begins in ?Shades of Gray? which was the first vampire romance I ever read, one of the best and began my hunt for more of this genre. I read lots of books and the genre ranges, so many times when authors decide to do a series a year (5 in this case) later I have to go back and skim through the preceding story in order to follow the subsequent story. After Sundown does not fall in that category, it stands alone because it gives you enough info from the first book to prevent confusion without taking away from this one. I can now add After Sundown to my ever-growing list of the best vampire romances to read and re-read.This is not a contemporary romance; it should be labeled paranormal romance instead because even though this story has a present day setting, it is based on vampires. Regardless, it?s an excellent book that will keep you reading until you turn the last page. I am looking forward to reading Tracy and Dominic?s story. I have read all of Ms. Ashley vampire romance books but none could hold a candle to Shades of Gray until After Sundown that is.

The dark gift had been bestowed upon him . . .Edward Ramsey was confused by his existence. Once a well-known vampire hunter, he now found himself one of the undead, that which he once hunted. On one of his nightly outings, he happened upon a young woman intent on ending her life. He made the decision to interfere with her plans and keep in her the world of the living. By doing so, how will it affect his life?He saved her from certain death . . . Kelly Anderson stood on the far edge of the pier, staring down into the still black water below. It looked cold enough to numb her pain. She was convinced that she had nothing to live for. As she jumped in the bottomless pool, she was unprepared to be saved by a guardian angel. When she awoke, she discovered that the man who had saved her was far from an Angel.Amanda Ashley has created an exceptional sequel to accommodate her book Shade of Gray. Edward Ramsey has all the elements that make for an irresistible read. The dark shadows that surround his existence are very appealing. I feel this is one of Ashley's most compelling novels I have read. The talent that she so effortlessly exhibits is why she is one of the most sought after authors in the business. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
