Raymond Metcalf has a job. He is a vampire, the master of the vampire coven, The Colony, and his job is to protect the president of the United States from rogue vampires. The humans, with very few exceptions, do not know that vampires even exist, much less try to target the most important man in the country. And Raymond is trying to make sure that they remain clueless.

Alex Brennan, a career military woman, has been selected to take over the liaison between the Colony vampires and the government. She sees this as a great career move, even after she finds out there are vampires and meets the very handsome, very desirable Raymond Metcalf. Then it’s a question of can she do the job, protect the president, and not fall for the vampire?

And, can they stop the plot to kill the president?

I’m now officially a huge fan of The Colony and of Regina Morris. I like mainstream thrillers; they are a treat when I want to get away from paranormal occasionally. To have my love of thrillers combined with vampires, well, let’s just say this there were a lot of thrills along with the story of Raymond and Alex.

Regina Morris has defined The Colony as a vampire coven, a family group of vampires that consists of Raymond, his sister Sulie, his son Sterling, who is a half-breed, and a married couple William and Jackie, with their kids, Ben Gatto, and “made” vampires Mason Warner and Daniel. Each member has their specific job with the government. They work to stop attacks on the president and government by other vampires who want power for themselves. And, of course, there are plots to harm the president in this book, and Raymond and his team have to work to stop it, while he and Alex keep trying to fall in love and fight against it.

Eternal Service is the first of a series and this one defines the world Morris has created by allowing Dixon, the outgoing Colony Liaison and Raymond to tell Alex about the vampires as she finds out they exist. It sometimes gets a bit heavy in the descriptions at times, but it is believable in scope. I quickly forgot that this was background necessary for the story and just enjoyed finding out about the Colony. And the action scenes were very well done. I think this would make a great movie, too.

There are four books planned for the series so far and they are coming out about every six months from spring 2013 with Eternal Service. I look forward to getting the entire series; I want to see how she stretches the work of the Colony.
