A taste for blood - Diana Lee

Ryan was born when Vikings raided the British coast and the clans of Scotland feuded with blood lust. Raped, killed and reborn as a vampire at the tender age of sixteen, she is now over eight hundred years old. Over the centuries, Ryan has ravaged the lives of many helpless victims, and now she has risen to a position of power and influence in Victorian-era Scotland. In her years she has loved many women, but none have so touched her life as those descended from her first lover, Carissa - a girl on the edge of womanhood. Lee's prose is as gripping as it is erotically charged.
