From the publisher: “Homicide detective Samantha Brown is a tough, highly decorated cop. But twelve lonely years after she nearly died of a gunshot wound, she aches with a deep inner longing. In pursuit of a deranged killer, her only clue is a medieval cross inscribed “Lucan”-the name of the owner of a new nightclub near the murder scene. Drawn into a seamy underworld, Samantha falls for Lucan-who believes he’s a vampire and Samantha is his reincarnated first love. Now, she must save this mysterious, seductive man who seems beyond redemption if he is to fulfill her deepest, darkest desires.”
Part three of the Darkyn series, and in this book we learn a little more about the war between the Darkyn and the Brethren. We have repeat appearances from Alex and Michael and Alex’s brother John. The poor man can’t seem to stop himself from getting in the middle of things…
In this story we also have murder and mayhem which is tied into the hero’s past, if you hated Lucan in previous books you might like him a little better now, since we know WHY he is the way he is. Again the romance was the shaky bit of the story but I decided after book one not to look at it as the main thing in the book rather a side story that is not really important to the whole scheme of things. The thing about this story is that from the start you are not sure if Lucan is a good or bad guy. What is different about this book is that it leaves you with a cliff hanger and you need to have the next book handy to read through. Another enjoyable part of the series as a whole.
