“Death Calls by Caridad Pineiro, book #4 in Death Calls Vampire series, has been selected as the top fantasy book of 2006 by Catalina Magazine. Death Calls was Caridad’s 13th book as well as a launch book for Harlequins new paranormal line, Silhouette Nocturne. Caridad appeared at this years BookExpo in Washington to promote the launch.
“Im very excited about the wonderful reviews and interest in The Calling,” says Caridad. The Calling series continues with Devotion Calls in January, followed by Desire Calls in April, a free eharlequin.com novella, and Blood Calls in May.
The Calling vampire series has received critical acclaim as well as reader support. Danger Calls, a 2005 release, was named Best Fantasy Book of 2005 by Catalina magazine.
