"I don't plan to kill you … unless, of course, you force me to."
Late-night radio show psychologist Rain Sommers is used to the crazies calling in to rage from the back alleys of the French Quarter and the shadows of the bayou. But one caller's chilling obsession with her and her long-ago murdered mother—an iconic singer beloved among the city's goth community—has even the jaded Rain running scared as a sadistic serial killer known as the Vampire prowls New Orleans.
FBI agent Trevor Rivette is convinced her midnight caller and the killer are one and the same. As it becomes disturbingly clear that the Vampire has a sick bloodlust only Rain can satisfy, she allows Trevor to get closer and closer. He soon discovers, however, that his secretive past and troubled present are intertwined—and that he may die trying to keep Rain's fate out of a madman's control.

"Leslie Tentler's masterfully crafted a romantic thriller with the perfect amount of edge of your seat pacing. A hunky alpha male FBI agent with a troubled past. A beautiful and smart psychologist hunted by an evil killer. What more could you want? I loved the characters and plot, but what really stood out for me was the setting. Leslie draws you into New Orleans with rich details that make you want to run out to buy chicory coffee and beignets. As she leads you around the city hunting a vampiric serial killer, you're inundated with the sultry flavor that is New Orleans. Smart, sexy and just a little scary, Midnight Caller is a wonderful thriller. I can't wait to start the next book in her series, Midnight Fear."

— Manic Readers" The suspense was great! The chemistry between Trevor and Rain, well I just didn't feel it. I wanted to, because I loved Trevor and all is damaged goodness. "
— Amber, 2/19/2014" Midnight Caller is an excellent book. I really enjoyed the story that the author drew the reader into. Trevor and Rain are enjoyable characters that you really care about. I love how the author tells the reader a little at a time about the characters' past. The reader cannot wait to get to the end to know about the past stories as well as who the killer is. Who is the killer? You have to read to find out. Great start for Leslie Tentler. I cannot wait to read her new book when it comes out and more of her books in the future. "
— Betsy, 2/12/2014" Leslie has a real talent. If you like edge of the seat books this one is perfect. "
— Susan, 1/1/2014" Based on the cover and the description, I hoped to be gripped by this book. Although I liked Midnight Caller, it really didn't feel that suspenseful to me. And really... to both main characters need to have such traumatic childhoods? "
— Shelly, 12/27/2013" Awesome read!! Great suspense!! "
— melody, 12/27/2013" A good start to the series... almost four stars -- but just not quite there for me. "
— Eva, 12/14/2013" Leslie is coming to sign books at Booksforless on Saturday night. I read the book so I can recommend it. It is her first published book and it shows. On the other hand story was interesting, had some intriguing twists and I enjoyed it. I am curious to see what her next book will be like. "
— Shy, 11/23/2013" Love an evil, sadistic killer in my books. Like that this author is new to me and I enjoyed this book. I can saw her writing reminds me of Lisa Jackson...this isnt a bad thing because Ive enjoyed books from her. I look forward to reading the next in this series. "
— Shelby, 11/8/2013" This was just an ok book, Not sure if I will read the rest of the series. Never became attached to the characters, the plot was nothing exciting. I was just not wowed by this book "
— Lisa, 8/13/2013" Slightly heavier on the suspense but still a satisfying romance in my opinion. I always love a story with a gorgeous FBI agent hero. The heroine was a strong likable woman herself but both had a few minor issues in life that they managed to overcome. "
— Pamela(AllHoney), 7/21/2013" Pleasantly surprised as this was a free book via Nook and most have not been overly good. I loved the suspense and the coming together of the main characters. I have bought the second book in the series! "
