REVIEW: A VAMPIRE’S STAR is the fifth instalment in Marie-Claude Bourque’s contemporary, adult THE ORDER OF THE BLACK-OAK VAMPIRE paranormal romance series. This is music producer and banshee Tilly Davenport, and immortal vampire / rock star Cassiodore ‘Cass’ St. Amand’s story line. A VAMPIRE’S STAR can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Cass and Tilly) A VAMPIRE’S STAR follows the second chance relationship between our story line couple. Approximately eight months earlier, rock star Cass St. Amand spent a glorious night with his music producer Tllly Davenport, and in the ensuing time he never forgot about the woman he left behind. The band’s latest tour stop in Montreal finds Cass face to face with our story line heroine, a woman who is pregnant, claiming she is carrying his child but Tilly is desperate, and in need of protection, as she is now a target, for anyone hoping to sacrifice to the Underworld. As Tilly and Cass begin rebuilding their friendship and relationship, someone else is taking aim at our story line heroine.
The world building follows several pathways including the implosion of the band; a family history of abandonment and betrayal; rekindling relationships between Cass and Tilly, as well as Tilly’s desperate attempt to stay alive in the face of a fight for power.
The relationship between Cass and Tilly is one of second chances. Cass never believed he could father any children, and the arrival of Tilly threatens the future of the band and the tour. With only weeks left before the baby’s birth Tilly is targeted for who and what she is. There are no $ex scenes.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and magical secondary and supporting characters including the member of the band, Cassiodore’s brothers, their spouses, and Tilly’s godmothers
A VAMPIRE’S STAR is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is captivating and detailed; the romance is subtle; the characters are supernatural, powerful and charismatic.

Reviewed by Sandy
She watched him silently, studying his features deep in concentration, and was hit with a tide of woefulness. He’d had that exact same face in the studio. No longer Cass St-Amand, charmer rock star adored by the masses with the fast smile and twinkle in the eye, but Cass the artist. Deep into his creations with the serious expression on the well-cut jaw.
Cass, her one-time lover.
And now the father of her baby. She couldn’t deny the feelings she still had for him. Couldn’t forget how he’d made her laugh, had made everything lighthearted and easy when he’d been around.
But being strongly attracted to her baby’s father was not part of her plans.
