?THE LAST VAMPIRE: BOOK THREE—PART OF A COMPLETED PARANORMAL ROMANCE SERIES (PAPERBACK).
I never thought I’d see home again.
Now, I almost wish I hadn’t.
After giving myself up to the Fae, I expected to become the latest casualty of a war that should have ended centuries ago. Instead, I ended up inextricably bound to the last vampire on earth.
My life since the Fae marked me has become unrecognizable. Inside, I’m still the 26-year-old waitress who struggled with working two jobs while being serially dumped by a parade of disgruntled boyfriends. Now, I’ve somehow become a figurehead, coveted and despised in equal measure by two warring supernatural races.
Can I trust the fragile bond connecting my heart to the unbeating heart of a vampire? Every instinct I possess tells me to pull back… protect myself… protect him. But every time I try to run away, I end up back in his arms.
Alliances are shifting. Old resentments are flaring. Both my father and I are now chess pieces in someone else’s grand strategy.
No more. I’m done with being a pawn.
It’s time to up my game.

“WHY?” THE SINGLE WORD fell into the silence as though weighted with bricks. It barely even sounded like a question. Nigellus leaned forward, fingertips braced on the edge of the dining room table in his elegant Atlantic City mansion. “Explain to me, Ransley, what could conceivably have possessed you to take such an idiotic action. And without so much as consulting me first, I might add.”
Ransley Thorpe—seven-hundred-year-old vampire and part-time white knight with a martyr complex—looked up at his demon mentor. He remained relaxed in his chair, still wearing a mild expression. But there was a dangerous glint hiding behind his icy blue eyes.
“People keep asking me that,” he said in his precise English accent. “And I keep wondering why something that seems so obvious to me appears to be utterly opaque to everyone else.”
Rans and I had arrived at Nigellus’ home some fifteen minutes ago, luggage in hand. Admittedly, that had been pretty brazen of us, since we hadn’t even called ahead to warn him we were coming. Also, there was the small issue of Rans having stolen a rare and powerful magical artifact from this house on his previous visit. All in all, I could understand Nigellus’ frustration.
Hell… a part of me even shared it.
Not so long ago, I’d snuck away from Rans and followed my kidnapped father to the Fae world of Dhuinne, in hopes of protecting both of them. The Fae were after me because of my hybrid parentage, and I was tired of other people being in constant danger simply because of their association with me.
At the time, I’d understood that going to the Fae realm put my life at serious risk, but I chose to do it anyway. Whether it had been a good choice or a bad one was still something of an open question, but Rans had rendered it moot by coming after me and hauling me back by the scruff of the neck.
Maybe most women would find the idea of him swooping into the Fae Court like a dark, avenging angel romantic. And it was undeniably true that by doing so, he’d saved me from execution. Yet I still found his eleventh-hour rescue stomach churning, more than anything, because of what had happened next.
“Your actions have moved beyond recklessness and into blatant self-destruction. You bound your life to a mortal’s!” Nigellus’ voice resonated like granite boulders grinding together.
I winced.
The magical artifact Rans had stolen the last time he was here was a crystal. Not just any crystal, mind you, but a crystal that allegedly bound two people together so tightly that the death of one would instantly cause the death of the other. Working on what could only be called a hunch, Rans had barged into the Fae Court and bound his life to mine in the presence of a collection of the most powerful Fae in Dhuinne.
He was the last vampire in existence, after a magical weapon destroyed the rest of his race during the war between demons and Fae. He hadn’t known for certain that his continued survival was one of the treaty provisions that had ended the conflict, but he’d suspected it. Fortunately for both of us, he’d been right. And now that we were bound, his centuries-long life was doomed to end the moment my human one did.
Well, I say human…
“I acted to save a life that is important to me.” Rans still didn’t raise his voice. Neither did the spark of blue flame behind his eyes dim. “And if you’re as smart as I believe you to be, Nigellus, Zorah’s life will become important to you, too.”
I cleared my throat awkwardly.

I love that (SPOILER!) Rans and Zorah are finally on the same page. Who to trust? No one but themselves. This is getting SO good! I can't wait to find out what happens with her dad...is he REALLY as out of it as everyone thinks? I think not. Will Guthrie turn out to be a good guy or a bad guy? It looks like Nigellus is a backstabber, but is he really? So many mysteries to find the answers to......AND I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JUNE 19TH TO DO IT......aarrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!
Books are Great
After reading the first book, I bought the next two. They kept me intrigued the whole time..
well written. Interesting. Compelling.
love the story
Ok just another paranormal book!
Again a winner! The story gets better a And better with each book. There are twist and turns. Who can you trust?
This series has me hooked. I've already pre-ordered book four and I am desperately waiting for it to drop in June. Lord help me this series gets better and better with each book.
I really enjoy the relationship between Fans and the other characters in the book. Although the female is the main character ,the plots revolve around Rams and the others..
I just finished this book and I can't wait to read the others,I like to read them in order so that when I'm done with the series I know everthing.😁
And the journey continues....Fae are tricky and self-important, demons are deceitful and treacherous, humans are self-absorbed and fearful. And the last Vampire on earth is trying to prevent another war.
Great callback to a previous scene and connect the dots st the same time the main character did. And it is an amazing twist in all.
The characters are well-developed and come to life during the book. R.A. Steffan spins a story that will hold your interest with various realms and with plot twists throughout the series. Anxiously awaiting book four!
But then you get grabbed. I can't wait to start book 4! I've been holding my breath for this conclusion and got it! Now on to next book! Love them!
This book is well written. It hard to put the story down. The characters are vivid and the this book hints at the bigger issue in story line. My main dislike is the books end in cliff hangers and stories are short.
As usual with a middle book, this one seemed a bit drawn out. There was minimal action and less explanation of what was going on. It's clear that this is the set up to the next stage of the plot, but it comes across as a bit tedious.
I was holding my breath all the time the Zorah was in bell and apart from Ransley. Finally they came clean about their feelings and OMG. I was crying and at edge of my couch. I love this series so much the I gonna feel a eternity waiting for The last vampire book 4. I really enjoy reading book. I'm I obsessed with Rans and Zorah and ttheir future together against the world.
As much as I enjoyed this book, I’m still irritated that Z is throwing everything at saving her father when he’s been a closed off **** for 20 years. Buuuut it had a point and Z and Rans’ relationship is fiiiinally making progress. Right before more **** hits the fan of course.
The books in this series are not long but they move along a story that is becoming more and more curious. Even with a sure fire start to more action on the horizon, this story shows how strong our true friends are.
The plot thickens. I really liked the political maneuverings in this book. The only thing that I didn’t like is the **** scenes, but I understand that the main character needs it to survive because she’s a succubus. I still think the scenes are over the top. I’m falling more and more in love with Rans though.
I am so glad I bought this series . The adventures and intrigue is fantastical writing it gives a different twist to paranormal stories
I love the story, the characters, and the world created by the author. What I don't like is that each book has no clear ending or resolution. It feels like ending a chapter, not a book, which of course means spending more and more money.
Well, here we are at book 3 and our intrepid "h" has decided she is going into "****" to protect and defend her father since that is where the Fae has sent him. She isn't sure whether this is a good idea or not but it is the best and safest at the moment for both of them. We'll see. She has had to enlist a friend/demon of our "H" to help her with this task. She isn't quite sure if he is the one to trust but he is the only one she can use to accomplish her mission. Down she goes into the depths of the earth to get to the "gate of ****". Sort of freaky and it is in California. Hah! as a native of same, I find this quite hilarious and oddly ironic. Moving on, our girl jumps right into finding out as much as she can about her new home and the revelations are quite astounding. Her issue is her ability to get back out of this place. She was told it would not be a problem but it is proving to be more difficult than was first thought. She ends up going through several machinations to accomplish this task and in the process is introduced to her long, lost Grandpa who started this whole mess in the first place. He is a problem; it turns out. Read the book to find out if she accomplishes this and we will all be awaiting #4 to see what she gets into next. More fun to come I am sure.
I am a serious fan of the PNR genre. Aren't we all that read this deliciousness? I adore these characters. The realms they exist in are described in such detail that I can easily picture myself there, or zipping along at 100 mph on the back of Rans' Triumph...if only! I don't want to say much more so as not to spoil it for new readers so start with booke one and catch up. Book four comes out soon!
