         "The Trouble with Vampires" by Lynsay Sands
      This was a re-read for me because I had forgotten that I had read this
title earlier.
     The plot is that there is trouble next door at the Purdy house.
Mad Dr.Dressler who without enough evidence turned himself vampire  is Purdy's
cousin. He threw out Purdy's cat which taken up by the young hero, Parker.
His father left a message that he had to leave town and has not been heard from
since, his mother has to go to a convention and Aunt Petronella Stone is taking
care of him making sure he does not miss meal or miss school which is unlikely
since Parker being smart loves school.
       The Notte (an Argeneau family) takes over the house next door to Parker's
and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the headquarters of the Enforcer organization because the supervisor of the enforcers caught Parker's call to the
police about the strange behavior of Dressler whom Parker believes is suffering
from Renfield Syndrome.
       Petronella Stone is the Life Mate of Santo Notte who just happens be
along.  Santo has been a victim of Dressler in the past as Dressler experimented
with immortals.  So we have typical Life Mate sex and as the plot unfolds
there are some surprises.
      One of the characters will become the protagonist of "Mile High With A Vampire"
  as she saves the mortal pilot of the crashed plane from the out of control Immortals guards traveling to North America MHWV is the only Argeneau book I have paid
  for which was during the time the San Francisco Public Library was closed.
      You can get more substancial reviews of the two book at these URL:

      I enjoyed these two novels a very great deal. Besides Dressler a
new bunch of bad guys the Brass Circle is introduced briefly. If Lysay Sands
lasts long enough she may double her present output, 33 or morer book
length novels.

Finally got back to this - thanks for writing about it.
I didn't realize she had written so many. Isfdb says this is #27 in the series. Two quick questions:
Have you read some/most of the earlier ones?
I usually read in publication order - is that a good idea for this series?
Thanks,
Tony
