Summary:
"Vampires Don't Exist"
We've been told this since we were young: vampires don't exist.
...in this story they do.
Aralyn discovers the truth for herself when she's taken to a horrifying mansion. She finds she is in the company of many bloodsuckers who want to make her a meal...and worse. If she agrees to follow the rules and obey the Master, she might survive. If she does not obey, she is punished in ways that have been considered sick, twisted, and evil.
There is only one vampire that Aralyn knows she can trust. One who has promised her a way out--away from him.
But the Master soon finds out their plan...
Will Aralyn escape the Master's monstrous clutches? Or will she be forced to live with him for eternity as one of his own...and the mother of his child?

Reviews for "Vampires Don't Exist"
By: Fellow Author, Ash Arceneaux -- Pretty-Scary.net
"[...] The plot- a young woman kidnapped by vampires and forced to live as a sex slave to their master, and who is ultimately brainwashed into falling in love with him and bearing a child- is, in my humble opinion, a nice change from the usual same-old, same-old vampire stories. [...] I honestly believe Ms. Vance has a great future in horror writing."

by Melanie G.
"This book is completely amazing. It takes the reader inside the heart and mind of a vampire. You develop sympathy toward characters that should have no reason for it at all. Love for treachery. A very detailed story that pulls you right in, and as the plot progresses it will make you emotional. If you love to read about vampires, BUY THE BOOK!"
by Christina R.
"This book is amazing. From the very first page it pulls you in, intriguing you with every word. The characters are so real and believable you get swept up in the pages in no time. The way Reyanna writes makes you feel like you are standing there, smelling, seeing, tasting and feeling everything that happens. With this book..Your shedding tears, hating, falling in love, longing for someone. You get so completely lost in this book. It is amazingly, simply and wonderfully magical from the first page to the very last."
by Jennifer Lloyd
"After the first word, I was hooked. This is the best book I have read thus far in my life. It was thrilling, touching, and haunting. I read it in one hour but its memory is still lingering. The plot stays fresh and interesting. Hold on guys it's gonna be a bone chilling ride!!!!! Bottom line this piece of work is sheer brilliance at its best."
by Crystal W.
""Vampires Don't Exist" is a thrilling novel. With plot twists, emotional highs and lows, believable characters and so much more, it kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages. At times, moments are so high strung and gripping, you just keep reading one paragraph over and over until you can recite the lines on your own. Reyanna Vance has such skill displaying scenes and [portraying] the characters to such an extent, everything becomes real in your mind. You actually get the feeling that you are the protagonist. You will come to love all the characters, though some more than others, no matter how cruel or annoying they seem. If you read "Vampires Don't Exist", I can almost guarantee that it will make you cringe in delightful disgust at the gruesome detail and make your heart flutter at the same time. You'll be glancing over your shoulder and thinking twice before stepping out into the dark or even down into your own basement. This is a must have and must read book and I would rate it 5/5."
by ffevilwars
"VDE is one of the best books I've ever read. Reyanna does a tremendous job of telling Aralyn's story in such a compelling manner, you just can't put it down! There are characters you love, some you hate, and some you'll be annoyed with. Vampires Don't Exist is a must read!"

Can't find my book on Lulu.com? Because of the content rating (mature), you may have to register (it's free and easy) and change your settings. Click here for more information .
1Q. "Do I know you?"
1A. --No, odds are, you do not. I randomly browse profiles, choosing to befriend people who show an interest in vampires or anything similar, in case they might be interested in buying my book. So, have a look around. If you choose not to buy, that's fine. I'm not going to stalk you.
2Q. "How can I buy your book?"
2A. --"Vampires Don't Exist" is available online from:
LuLu.com (support self-publishing by buying from this link)
Amazon.com
3Q. "Is your book sold in stores?"
3A. --No. This book is only available online or special ordering with its ISBN (1-4116-5826-4) at this time. Just take that number, the title (Vampires Don't Exist), and the author (Reyanna Vance) to a major local bookstore and ask them to special order it for you. They order it, you pay them and then they call you when it comes in and you pick it up at the store. Downside: a lot of places won't do this because they don't profit from the purchase.

A collection of mostly dark poems, conceived in the mind of the author of Best Seller, "Vampires Don't Exist."
This book holds several different genres, including: Paranormal, fantasy, horror, love and heartbreak, which means there's something for everyone in this collection. Not every poem has a rhyme pattern; some are free verse, though still deep and weave a web of emotional connection with the reader.
If you're a lover of poetry, this collection is probably for you. If you hold an interest in the macabre, this collection is definitely for you.
