'Vampire's Trill' continues where 'Vampire Ascending' leaves off, but fear not, you need not have read the first book to understand the new stakes (pardon the pun) in Sabrina' s life -- though I highly recommend it. 'Vampire Ascending' was an exciting and fun read from beginning to end, and this book is no different.
What's it like to be Sabrina Strong? She's one tough cookie. She has struggled all her life against people's stereotypes of her -- you see, she's a Touch Clairvoyant -- but the predicament she finds herself in 'Vampire's Trill' really raises the bar. And for someone who can't even get a date, Sabrina is awfully popular these days. Everyone wants her, but why? There's Bjorn Tremayne the handsome master Vampire who first hired Sabrina to uncover some nefarious goings-on in his organization, but who now desperately needs Sabrina's help and Vasyl, the Rogue Vampire who has been unknowingly lurking in Sabrina's life but who now reveals his true intentions. Sabrina finds that the fate of the world is in her hands. Is she sybil who Bjorn's enemies fear? The mystery deepens -- no one's life is safe from danger -- and there's plenty of romance too, as the once untouchable Sabrina is suddenly in hot demand.
Lorelei Bell makes the incredible, credible - a mark of a great story teller - and what a world she's created: Vampires, Shape Shifters, and Werewolves all cohabitate in Lorelei's world along with the human race and sometimes it's difficult to tell who is the most inhuman.
In short, 'Vampire's Trill' is fun, exciting and entertaining, filled with mysterious twists as Sabrina uncovers the evil plot afoot. I am not into Vampire fiction as a rule, but Lorelei Bell has made a believer out of me. I love Lorelei's blend of mystery, romance and humor and most important, her inventiveness. She has fashioned an incredible, fresh new world. I can't wait for the next installment in the Sabrina Strong series.

So the story continues. Our heroin Sabrina is still finding herself in all kinds of weirdness. I still like the storyline and the characters.
SPOILERS*********
I was a little sad when Dante and her had to break it off but I like Vasyl and when he gave her the ring I was like yes! Now I wonder if this vampire wedding will happen, poor Sabrina seems unable to find happiness. Dante is now dead (didn't see that coming) and the ending left me hanging. So now I guess I must wait for adventure number 3, dang it!

Book 2 to read
As with the first, this is a well written paranormal story with characters you both love and those you really dislike. I highly recommend this book.

Trill by Lorelei Bell is the second book in the Sabrina Strong Series. Sabrina has settled into her job for Tremayne Towers, but nothing is normal about her life. Vampire Master Bjorn Tremayne remains in isolation until he faces trial, but he's still managed to hinder her budding relationship with Dante. She experiences her first full moon since a werewolf bit her, which has some unusual side effects. The same werewolf whose pack shows up at her house to seek her help in finding him and retrieving the money he stole. When Tremayne's sister-in-law arrives, Sabrina knows this can't be a coincidence and that Tremayne's trusted ally, Nicolas, is somehow involved in Ilona's plans to take over. Sabrina's just starting to understand her role as the sibyl, but the more she learns about Vasyl, the more conflicted she becomes. Meanwhile, she meets the mysterious Bill Gannon, deals with the fact that her best friend is now a vampire, and uncovers a terrifying secret.
Lorelei Bell has a knack for layering several story lines and tying them together in a perfect bow with several of these threads connecting back to the first book. Bell wraps up multiple sub-plots while opening up new ones. The supernatural world expands by exploring more of the magical beings and demons, and journeying to new otherworldly places. Sabrina is still learning about her role as the sibyl and all that it entails. She has a greater destiny than she's ever dreamed of and is still being vied over by vampire masters, werewolves, and a mysterious stranger. While she's navigating her powers, she's also become a stronger heroine who stands up more for herself against the vampires' possessiveness. New characters are introduced with the same seductive charm and wit, the same layered personalities and flipping of stereotypes. The character that stands out most is an incubus that shows up briefly, and has a seductive and appealing personality, but also has a sweet and innocent quality to him. Trill is crazier and more intense than Ascension, with interesting and dangerous characters, a deadly mystery, and a complicated romance.

Author Lorelei Bell creates a unique supernatural world that exists just beneath normal human society in her Sabrina Strong series.
In Vampire’s Trill (book two), Bell introduces us to Sabrina Strong, a touch clairvoyant, who is charged with the duty of being a sibyl, although against her will. She cannot escape this responsibility, as she inherited it from a long line of ancestral women.
Bell gives us a lively world of enjoyable, complex characters with sharp dialogue sprinkled with moments of humor. The plot twists are superb, as Sabrina endures a series of bizarre happenings. As the story unfolds, we learn just how important Sabrina is to saving the world. We watch her being chased by many would-be suitors who hope to mate with the sibyl to bring a special heir.
Along the way, we meet vampires, werewolves, witches, fallen angels, elves and even a leprechaun. Bell’s imagination is limitless, as she skillfully pulls the reader into almost believing this unique world is real. Bell thrusts the reader on a whirlwind, non-stop adventure through the unusual and hectic life of Sabrina Strong.
I highly recommend this novel, as the reader will not be able to put it down and will be left craving more.

I read this as Trill Sabrina Strong #2.
After the first 4 chapters things really kick in. This was written as if the reader had never read book 1, which was a huge problem for me as I had read book 1 immediately prior to reading Trill. So I spent too much time having to wade through stuff I already knew.
In this one, Sabrina learns that she will indeed turn at the full moon. At least Dante is there to help her... and their relationship is interesting and complicated.
And then lets make it more complicated by adding all the men/vampires/demons/shifters/wolves who want to sleep with her:
-- Vasyl, the sexy French master vamp who's been protecting her his entire vampire life.
-- Hobart, the dreadlocked Wolf
-- Bill, her neighbor's grandson who is not what he seems
-- Tremayne, the master vamp who can't resist her and summons her to donate blood so he can build up a tolerance
-- Jacob, an incubus she meets on the way to the Dark Realm
Good lord.
But what made this better than book 1 was the connection she forged with Dante... and the ending which was bittersweet because they love each other and can't be with each other. So I rounded up from 3.5 stars. There are still significant issues with homonyms and typos which weaken the writing rather than strengthen it.

Holy Moly there's a lot of action, betrayals, hidden agendas, claims and power trips happening in this book... gotta love it. Excellently crafted story with fascinating characters. Great second book with answers and more unanswered.

Like it, but have to say, there was a very VERY disturbing scene regarding a certain character. Aside from that, all great.
