It is about a young man Mike Evans. He is a
sixteen year old skate punk squatting in a white-trash trailer park with his
loser drunk Dad. Seems he lost most of his friends when his Dad lost their home
in foreclosure. Only Anita stuck by him. Worse, he kept having strange
clairvoyant visions of things that always came true.
Then he almost ran over Nadia in his Geo. A
passing truck finished the job – left a crumpled heap of skin and bone on the
road. He fixed her. He did.
Now this fourteen year old girl won’t leave him
alone. He sorta let her sneak in his window when she needs a place to crash.
Mike have a double life: daytime at school,
Anita, skating, and then his nights with Nadia. She's his secret friend,
gives him money and listens to his
problems when nobody else will.
His world is spinning out of control. Old friends
have turned enemy, his grisly visions of death won’t quit, and Anita’s
intentions make his head spin. Even with all that, he has got bigger stuff to
worry about. Nadia’s hiding something.
In the words of a reviewer:
I loved everything about this book and thus, I
recommend it to everyone:
<<< the tone is awesome, it makes you feel like the
characters are absolutely real, flesh and bone, standing right in front of you
;-)
<<< the plot is stunning - it's impossible to put
this book down until the very last word, and it makes you feel sorry and sort
of empty that it has ended;
<<< the nice, quick pace and the unexpected twists
of the story will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat;
<<< it's easy and pleasant to read - you won't even
notice you've been turning pages until, all of a sudden, it's the end...
A big Thanks to the author for such a great job!

Aaron Pilan’s life is forever changed when he’s shot trying to
rescue a drop-dead gorgeous woman on the streets of New York. Aaron is thrust
into the shocking world of vampiric slavery when Michelle shares her blood to
save his life.
Michelle's existence as a solitary vampire is
also altered when she accepts this naive young man into her life. Bound by her
blood, Aaron is subject to her authority. He walks a tightrope of strictly
controlled feeding regiments and intense sexual adventures while catering to
the neurotic control-freak tendencies of his new master. She vows to eliminate
him if he proves too difficult to control.
This paranormal romance thriller is bold and
evocative, infusing blood, sex, love and turmoil in an urban drama about two
vampires battling evil outside and within themselves.
PRAISE FOR NIGHTLIFE IN NEW YORK:
˃˃>
“The Nightlife New York is a raw brutal tale that slaps you in the face and
keeps you asking for more! Travis Luedke has taken a genre flooded with angst
teenagers to an adult level.”
˃˃˃
“Luedke brings his main characters to life, both incredibly flawed and
powerfully charismatic, with a wonderful writing style, in this unique twist on
the Vampire.”
˃˃˃
“This is unlike any vampire tale I have ever read, and is as far removed from
Bram Stoker's Dracula, as New York is from Transylvania. Travis Luedke has
fashioned a compelling tale of love, passion, violence and steamy hot sex, set
against the backdrop of the Big Apple.”

Salvación – Hope for Salvation. But when a girl works as an escort for
Colombian cartel in the ghettos of Spanish Harlem...
...there
wasn’t much hope, or salvation.
Hope’s
telepathic ability keeps her a step ahead of ruin, but her unusual gift
attracts the attention of a psychotic vampire bitch. Trapped in a Manhattan
penthouse with the psycho, she thought she was dead meat.
Her
survival lies in the hands of Vampire Master Enrique. He seems to respect her,

slave. Helplessly addicted to his bite, Enrique rules her every moment. As
always, Hope must adapt to survive.
Swept
into the decadent nightlife of Manhattan's elite, she falls in love with
Enrique and prays someday he may grow to love her, too. But is it simply a
relationship of convenience? Is she nothing more than a concubine desperate to
satisfy his nightly demands for blood and sex?
And
forever in the background is the fear that one day the cartel boss she
abandoned will hunt her down to collect on old debts.
PRAISE FOR BLOODSLAVE:

THE NIGHTLIFE SERIES ( BOOKS 1-4
)
The nightlife Series (Books 1-4) was released December
24th
The Nightlife Series is violent, sexy, and occasionally
violently sexy.
Vampires, strippers, escorts, night
clubs, pimps & dirty cops – the Nightlife Series is never boring.
Can
decadence, corruption and prostitution go hand in hand with self-control?
Over-indulgence, crime and vampires lurk in darkness when night falls on the
city.
The
Nightlife Series explores the sexy, dangerous misadventures of vampires and an
interesting assortment of wickedly corrupt men and women of the night. Gangs,
pimps, prostitutes, cartel, mafia, drug dealers, addicts, alcoholics, all those
wonderfully colorful people you find rubbing elbows in the back alleys, night
clubs, and strip joints.
These
creatures inhabit a world of constant blood, sex, and arousal. The act of
feeding is highly erotic, victims often experience multiple orgasms. A
vampire’s bite is the most powerful drug imaginable, ecstasy, euphoria, and an
ever-present potential for addiction. Lethally violent predators, they can cut
through flesh like a hot knife through butter. They slip through the nightlife
quietly, unobtrusively, until cornered. Then it gets ugly, people die.
PRAISE FOR NIGHTLIFE FOR NIGHTLIFE SERIES BOOKS 1-4

assortment that you will love and love to hate – even the villains have
endearing moments."

start and did not want to put it down….I felt so much passion for the characters
while reading this book."

vengeance.

London on the hunt for Michael Jamison, the man who stole Michelle's blood and
left her for dead. To assist them, Aaron’s new master, Urvashi, calls in favors
from her friends, Russian mercenary werewolves.
Wolves
Katya and Ivan, hunters adept at killing rogue vampires, set aside their animosity
for Aaron and Michelle to stop Jamison from murdering another woman – he
already has one bloodless victim lying in the morgue.
Jamison,
ex-special forces, feels his enemies closing in, but he won’t go down without a
fight – and like Aaron and Michelle, he also has powerful friends.
PRAISE FOR NIGHTLIFE IN LONDON:
>>> Masterfully
written the dialogue has many puns and punchlines I would like to remember, the
characters are excellently drawn and are seriously flesh and blood throughout.
>>> The sex
scenes are short, hot and also serve the purpose of character illustration. The
language is explicit but realistic, particularly the UK - English vocabulary
and the story is so well paced that I finished it almost in one sitting.
For fans of erotic
fantasy/ vampire stories the Nightlife Series is a must.
>>> The ever
consistent Travis Luedke does not disappoint in the next installment of The
Nightlife Series. Aaron and Michelle is once again involved in a gripping
adventure in London in an action packed and sensationally embellished love
triangle, complicated by the introduction of two new characters and a whole
cast of bad guys after them!

http://goo.gl/R8Z0Kr
Vampires, Mafia & Mayhem: The Nightlife San Antonio is
violent, sexy, and occasionally violently sexy.
All
she wanted was to escape the police. All he wanted was to get laid. They both
got more than they bargained for.
EMT
on call, Adrian Faulkner resuscitates a beautiful woman after a Mexican mafia
shootout. He can't explain why he picks her up in the hospital parking lot
three days later and then ducks the San Antonio police and the Feds. Well, the
hot sex might have something to do with it.
She
needed to hide. With no memory of even her name, she didn't know from who. She
only knew she wasn't safe.
Adrian
soon learns she is much more than a damsel in distress, and he’s stuck with
her. It isn't long before the past she cannot remember begins to catch up with
them both…
THE
NIGHTLIFE SAN ANTONIO is a non-stop thrill ride through the shadowy borderworld
of mafia politics and vampires – and sex.
PRAISE FOR NIGHTLIFE SAN ANTONIO:
"Luedke
writes with a raw and honest style that is a breath of fresh air and makes the
scenes realistic and powerful. The sexual tension is made even more gripping
and intense by the constant 'playing with fire' that accompanies the sex with a
vampire."
"Spiked
with great one liners, fast paced writing, filth, sex and violence this is
paranormal writing at its best."
"Travis
Luedke takes so many genres and melds them all together into an exciting thrill
ride that you can't escape from. Just when you think things are going to calm
