The soul takers, dark beautiful creatures with the appearance of humans, survive through the centuries by living off the souls of the ones they kiss. After so many years, Evil has come to Mantua, destroying everything Jordan Concland ever loved. The malevolence draws the soul takers back to the sleepy Upstate New York town to claim them in its embrace. Reunited with Damien, Psyche, and the other soul takers, Jordan and the others make a truce with Alexander, a handsome albino vampire, to find a way to stop the evil before it devours the entire town and exposes the soul takers to the world.

I found this book to be an incredible journey in the minds of the lives characters. I love erotic, sensual tales of vampires, but not gory. The story was definately not gory and I liked that. I love the way you feel as if you put the book down you'll never know what happens next. He draws you into their lives and his thoughts. He's very enthralling and great with imagery and words. I would definately reccomend this book to all those who enjoy good sensual/romantic novels. I can't wait to see what happens more with Jordan and Damian.
Soul Takers is a book that you want to continue reading. It is a book that draws you in and creates each character to be a living person in your mind. It leaves you wanting more.
Robert Rootes has successfully created a story that brings all emotions to the surface. He will horrify you with how dangerous vampires can be. He will introduce you to, "The family," which is very mysterious. You will learn to love each and every one of them for their individual personalities. He will bring you to the true ugly truth of what man can be like and then bring you to the joy of what a loving family is like with all of their mistakes.
To miss reading his book is like finding out that you missed the movie that everyone is talking about! My only hope is that I can convince this talented writer to do a series from this book.

Urban Fantasy with an Upstate New Yok Twist
Sep 6 2001
By C. James Telarico
- Published on Amazon.com
Rootes creates, or shall we say, relives his realistic Upstate New York adolescence-coming-of-age in his first novel Soul Takers. His work exhibits the energy of a new writer with the seasoned abilities of an old pro. The way he puts a spin on the old vampire tales, blends it to an erotic, romantic, sensual, suspense thriller is really an unique accomplishment indeed. The characters are real. We can feel for them. We are are left wanting more. I can picture this being a critically acclaimed movie with all the bells and whistles special effects that would probably be a flop at the box offices. Oh, well. The true artist is intrinsically motivated. Rootes has learned this by now, no doubt. Soul Takers is definitely a good read. And now we know where all of the Missing Children go........

More Than Just a Kiss
July 24 2001
By Karen Fries
- Published on Amazon.com
I found myself pulled into the characters of this book. The story line is very original and keeps you turning the pages. The author is extremely clever pulling all the characters together later in the book. He creates a character in Michael that you come to hate and a character in Jordan you come to love. The love that develops between Jordan and Psyche is created in a sensual, tender manner that isn't tasteless. The reader can feel what the characters feel. The author creates a new phenomenon with soul takers and the deep, drawing kiss. The taking of another life isn't depicted as gory, but as a need to creat immortality. The final showdown between the soul takers and the vampires leaves you on the edge of youe seat. A must read. I am looking forward to his next book.
