Description from Bloomsbury website
The Drakes and friends will be tested when an infestation of deadly vampires threatens Violet Hill Lucy’s cousin Christabel has come to live in Violet Hill, and adjusting to the difference between life in a small mountain town and her home in the city is difficult enough. The strict curfew that Lucy’s parents enforce is the worst part. Something really dangerous couldn’t possibly happen in this tiny town. But Christabel has noticed some mysterious happenings, and it seems like Lucy, her boyfriend Nicholas and his brother Connor are all in on a secret that Christabel doesn’t understand—one that seems deadly serious. Although she won’t admit it, Christabel would love to be in on any secret with Connor Drake. But when she is kidnapped by tthe ruthless Hel-Blar vampires, Christabel must cause more and more trouble in Violet Hill, Lucy and Connor finally fill Christabel in on all the undead drama. Together, they must find a way to stamp out the Hel-Blar for good.

i hate waiting for books too! But the publisher has a schedule to maintain
i wish you could somehow publish the fourth book quicker but the wait will be worth it because i know that the fourth book will be even better than i first 3.
I hate having to wait for books to come

something that will be great!
You need to write more books and faster I have read all your book so many times. And I have been geting all my book loving frinds to read them . Your 4 book needs to come out NOW
Patience is a Virtue. A virtue i have never and will never posses.
Haa Same!
Thank you for writing such amazing books!! They are fun to read and leave me wanting more Drakes. Right now Logan is my favorite but I can’t wait to see if that’ll change and if i get a new favorite in your new books!!

XD Thx 4 all of the amazing books!!! I have started telling all of my friends who (like me) love amazing paranormal reads!! ( preferably romance <3) I love all of your books and cant wait to get my hands on more amazing reads!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!
I thoroughly love your books, each time I read them I can see it all happening in my head (hope that doesn’t sound crazy) When I read a particular novel that really grabs me, I see the characters and their surroundings, their cloths, the buildings, the scenery, every thing. I get to immersed in the book I feel as though I’m there.
Can’t wait for the next book, the Drakes are cool.
thank you!
and it’s great that you can visualize so well when reading..makes it more fun!

thanks! Lucy as her own chapters in Book 4 so there’s lots of her and nicholas and in book 5 they both have their own chapters as well
OMG!! I am sorry for barging into this conversation but I just want to say that you have made my day by saying that the fifth book will be on Lucy and Nicholas. I absolutely love them and was so upset how their love was not elaborated on. Thank you so much. I can’t wait for it to come out now!!!
lol
Haha! I totally agree!
Book 5!!!I am loving these books. Of course I love the Quinn and Hunter end up together. I think Chloe and Connor should end up together…They would be so funny together. Please Please Please keep them coming.
BTW when will book 5 be coming. I know book 4 is in Nov, right?
thanks!
no idea for the pub date for Book 5, keep checking the publishers drake chronicles facebook page, they usually post it. I will too when I get the info

sorry, no idea! it hasn’t even got a contract yet so i really don’t know. hoping next year!
how many books will thiere be you shoud write one on how their parents meet that would be awsome
i love lucy and nick would u ever consider in one of the books letting lucy and nick talk about haveing kids one day or get married.
I think Chloe and Connor would be a great match but judging by the last 3 books
u wrote, u will probably make it work for Christabel and Connor as well.
BTW I love your books and im so glad we have such talented Authors in this world
That is so cool! Lucy is one of my all-time favorite characters, and I always wondered what Nicholas was thinking (between mentally cursing at him for being so hard-headed). It’s so great that he finally gets to tell his side of the story! I love your books (and tend to get really into them, to the point of feeling that I know the Drakes, Hunter, Lucy and Isabeu), even have the release date for book 4 on my calendar
im soo curious about the other brothers like duncan and marcus are you gonna do books for them too??
srrys 4 just commenting, but i HAD 2!!!!THT would b totally cool!!! It would let us get the scoop on how thye met!! (i am rlly curious at how they ended up 2gether, i mean, some1 who keeps the peace with treaties and som1 whose kinda violent…..) It would make for an interesting read!! R u gunna make a book for all of the drakes????? tht would be around seven or more!!!!! XD I would totally love it!
I know I mean it would be funny if Healen kicked Liems ass I mean did’t say that she has been in compotions
Alyxandra I love all your books,I was wondering if someone was gonna make the movie version of Hearts at stake/My love lies bleeding??and if you could make more books involving Nicholas and Lucy?????????PLEASE
