Finished Sa 4/5/14
John Blaylock- Miriam's newest partner. He's dying and she puts him in a box in the attic. All of her ex-lovers are there. Human blood no longer works, yet they cannot die, so she keeps (protects) them.
John was 'made' by Miriam during the Regency Period in England.
Alice-young teenager who plays music with John and Miriam. John kills her for her blood even though he knows that the process no longer works for him.
Miriam Blaylock- Humanoid since pre-history. Doesn't really say how she was born.
Sarah Roberts- Scientific researcher trying to find a link between sleep and longevity.
Tom Haver- Also a researcher, but more of a manager. He is in love with Sarah, but more in love with his career.
The vampires are not magical creatures, but are always treated as a 'sister' species to humankind. Miriam has a very rough tongue (snakelike?), but her partners use a scalpel to make the cut.
Sarah is in the process of experiencing the change, and Miriam gives her Tom to use his blood. This infuriates Sarah and she fights her attraction to Miriam. She tries to kill her with the scalpel, but decides that she will slash her wrists instead. She ends up one of Miriam's 'undead' and in a box in the attic.
Book ends with Miriam in San Francisco, and she vows never to pick a partner as enticing as Sarah.
