Professor Simon Cross has spent his life searching for evidence of vampires and avoiding emotional entanglements. When a mysterious accident transports Simon and his new assistant, Elizabeth West, back in time, Simon finally finds both the proof that he's been looking for, and the romance that he hasn't.
In 1920s Manhattan, they find that are more than mobsters vying for power in the city's speakeasies. Will Simon and Elizabeth's developing relationship survive the vampires' teeth? Will they survive to make it back? Or will they be forever out of time?

It took me a few days to read, but there were a few nights of staying up late, because I could not put it down...

The next book is Catharsis by Jonathan Face. Reminded me a bit of Stephen King, I could see this plot being done by him. From amazon.com:
Spring City, New Hampshire, is a town with a checkered past. Its residents have secrets - or so they think. These will be exposed and their true natures revealed during an unexpected winter storm.
Chaos unfolds as the snow falls, ushered along by the ghosts of the town's previous inhabitants. Acting on orders from some unknown power, it's their duty to see that the town gets the justice it has been lacking. If anyone's alive by dawn, they're either lucky - or innocent.
This is Spring City's last night, but its citizens won't go quietly.

Book #3 is The Friend Request by Alex Ford. Another really good one. Suspense, thrills, romance, it has everything.
from amazon.com:
Have you accepted a 'friend request' when you should have clicked ignore? Do you really know all the people listed as 'friends' on your Facebook page?
What if somebody from your past assumed the identity of someone from your present, so they could get close to you?
What if they wanted to get close to you, just to hurt you - again.
The Friend Request: Alex Ford’s dark satirical Facebook comedy.
David Andrews’ life is going well.
With an imminent promotion at work he’s content in his job. His girlfriend is gorgeous and looking at the amount of friends on his Facebook page he’s very popular too.
So, when he sees a friend request from a Barry Taylor, he doesn’t understand why it makes him so nervous, he’s not sure he even recognizes the name.
Eventually he forgets all about it, until the day he is forced to remember a past that was erased from his memory by a terrible accident.
Little does he realise that all the information on his Facebook page might make him a little too vulnerable, especially to a sociopath like Barry Taylor, who is intent on destroying David’s life – for a second time.
With a little help from his friendly shopkeeper David embarks on a journey of revenge and self-discovery. ____________________________________
The reason I am putting the amazon.com product description and not my own is because I do not want to spoil anything and give away something that someone would rather read for themselves. That is my intention, not laziness. ;oD
