Jabril is the second book in the Vampires in America series by D. B. Reynolds and I strongly recommend that this book be bought at the same time as the first especially if your primary focus is the romance portion of the story.
The story of Cynthia "Cyn" Leighton and Raphael the vampire lord of the North American western territories continues. However, with their relationship dead in the water, Cyn, a private investigator who frequently works with/for vampires takes a case offered by Jabril the lord of the southern United States territories. She soon discovers that, while Raphael was sometimes ruthless but honorable, Jabril is everything that is loathsome and questions if finding the human girl who has runaway from his household for him is the right thing to do
Retreating to Raphael's territories with a young vampire in tow and determined to help the runaway though definitely not return her to Jabril, Cyn reluctantly finds her life becoming entwined in Raphael's household and with Raphael once again.
This book continues to be a romance between Cyn and Raphael and a good one at that but also has a strong urban fantasy plot. The world building involving the vampires and their place in society continues apace and the story outside of the romance is well plotted and satisfying and should appeal to urban fantasy readers who don't necessarily enjoy romance novels. As with the first book a warning for violence outside of the norm in romance novels must be tendered.
