Diary of a Narcissistic Bloodsucker is a journal like novella by Lynda Hilburn, the author of The Vampire Shrink Series.
The story is set in 2160 in Paris, France. The beautiful vampire, Zara just woke from a very long nap, one that lasted almost 150 years. She begins the story telling of her strange powers as a vampire. When she drinks from someone she not only receives blood and carnal pleasure but she sucks their thoughts out as well. This has made her very careful and aware of her actions while feeding.
She begins by describing herself as beautiful, powerful, and rich…hence the narcissism.. and speaks of herself in first person all the while describing herself in the most elaborate ways.
The story begins as she looks back in her diary of an event that happened in 2004 in Boulder, Colorado. The story centers around Zara, her human lover Niven, and her sire Zeran. There are tastefully done sex scenes as well as humorous scenes. The story is light and funny with a shocking but oh so Zara ending. If you are looking for a quick read to lift your spirits and make you laugh then this is the book for you.
Here is an excerpt from Lynda Hilburn’s website
Excerpt #3: Gorgeous human tempts naughty vampire
It was a beautiful spring night and the air was perfumed with a wonderful combination of lilacs and the blooms of Russian olive trees. The full moon was doing that mystical thing where it's shrouded in haze and surrounded with wispy, shimmering rings of colors. The kind of moon that foretells magical and momentous events.
Scrumptious Niven led me through a parking area, next to the creek that runs through the center of town, and over to a grassy oasis, replete with benches, pot-smoking lay-abouts, and enthusiastic fornicators.
While it isn't usually my style to allow one of my "companions" to call the shots or take command, I found myself amused by Niven's assumption of my acquiescence. In fact, I was getting a going-to-the-prom rush (okay, so I have no idea what that would feel like, really. Play along, won't you?) from the mere touch of his hand holding mine. Anyway, since it felt good, I decided to continue doing it.
He navigated us to a relatively human-free area and audaciously backed me up against the trunk of a huge tree, where he proceeded to run his hands up and down my arms. I have to say that I was really enjoying my temporary role as wolf in sheep's clothing. I figured there'd be plenty of time later for this delicious dish to find out what kind of cage he'd rattled.

Nice, sounds like a good read.
Sounds interesting. Acquiring thoughts while feeding. I guess it depends on whether or not they dissipate over time. It might get crowded in there.
