A Dance in Blood Velvet - Hardcover
For the love of her vampire suitor Karl, Charlotte has forsaken her human life. Her only contact with people now, is when she hunts them down to feed.

Now she wants to reclaim her life and Karl. In despair Charlotte turns to the prima ballerina Violette Lenoir, an ice maiden who only thaws when she dances. Charlotte is fascinated as she has been by no other human, longing to bring joy to the dander. but her obsession opens the flood gates to a far darker threat that the vampires could ever have imagined. For Violett is more than human and if she succumbs to the Vampire's kiss it could unleash a new terror...

Review:
"Throbs with lush romanticism" (The Times) "No finer vampire novel has been published in any century. The true Queen of the vampire novel." --Black Tears Magazine
"An extremely well plotted tale of complex, believable characters. Yes, they are vampires and they are often vicious and terrifyingly deadly. But rather than being portrayed as cruel, motiveless monsters, or moping, emo sops, they are essentially human, albeit with pointy teeth and an appetite for haemoglobin... Freda Warrington's prose is simply stunning, sumptuous and graceful and as seductive as the vampires she portrays." --Starburst
"It is a beautifully written tale and compelling...if you like your romance novels with a bit of bite you will love this book." ----Following the Nerd
