Kirsten Tyler's mother died when she was a baby, and if that wasn't enough, a horrible home invasion happened when she was five that took the life of her brother and father. She had been hiding in the closet when it happened, and though she was admitted in a hospital for a severe loss of blood, she really never knew what truly happened. She was taken in by her aunt Sophie and uncle Martin, and although they were good to her she couldn't help but look forward to the nights because that was when her angels came to visit her. When the angels stopped coming it became Kirsten's mission to learn all she could about angels in the hope that they might return some day. While she is in college, people start dying and the thing is that their bodies are drained of blood. One of her college professors has a theory about what is going on, but will he figure it out or become the next victim? What about Kirsten? Who are her angels,and why has she been protected while so many around her die?

Interesting, multi-layered characters and a fast-paced plot make this a must read for paranormal fans. Kirsten is a young lady who is struggling. She has spent her entire life trying to learn all she can about guardian angels in the hope that someday hers might return. The author easily transitions between the past and present allowing us to learn what happened in Kirsten's past to bring her to where she is. She is a character who is easy to like and empathize with. Even though the reader knows from the very beginning what Keenan and Melanie really are, Kirsten didn't and I couldn't help but wonder how she would react to the truth. For me one of the creepier characters in the story was actually the professor, and I thought he got what he deserved! In my opinion Jamie Wasserman is a true wordsmith! He has the uncanny ability to bring whatever he is writing to life, with a plot that literally draws you in and doesn't let go even when you finish the final page. I found myself quite surprised about the way he treated Melanie's character in the end, which leaves this reader eagerly anticipating the next book in the series. "Angel Moon" is the follow up to "Blood and Sunlight: A Maryland Vampire Story". I honestly think the author provides enough background information that "Angel Moon" could be read as a stand alone work, although I highly recommend to read both books. If you are a fan of paranormal fiction with plenty of twists and well-developed characters, then you are certainly going to want to check out this author's work!
