Damien: The Nightwalkers
Jacquelyn Frank, . . Zebra, $6.99 (384pp) ISBN 978-0-8217-8068-8
Damien is a prince of the Vampires; Syreena is a princess and—should anything happen to her sister, Siena—heir of the Lycanthropes, a strange mutation capable of transforming into dolphins or falcons with ease. When the two meet at the discovery of a Nightwalker library, they feel an instant attraction. But it isn’t until Syreena is kidnapped by a crazed demon bent on vengeance and Damien comes to her rescue that they shatter Nightwalker taboos. As they fight both Ruth, the demon, and a love affair that is forbidden and politically explosive, they are forced to question what their priorities are: their people or their love for each other. Frank’s latest Nightwalker entry is fast-paced and steamy, nicely developing the world of her generally upstanding, gorgeous and charismatic supernatural creatures.
