"DESIRE
CASTS A DARK SPELL. Savanah Gentry's
life was so much simpler when she was a reporter for the local newspaper. That
was before her father's sudden death drew her into a mysterious new world she
was just beginning to understand. A Vampire hunter by birth, Savanah has been
entrusted with a legacy that puts everyone she cares for in danger –
including the seductive, sensual Vampire who unleashes her most primal desires
.
Rane
Cordova has always been alone, half hating himself for his dark gift even as he
relishes its extraordinary power. But one look at Savanah fills him with the
need to take everything she has to give and carry her to heights of unimagined
ecstasy. And though he never intended their relationship to go this far, now
Savanah is in more danger than she knows – and facing a relentless enemy
determined to eliminate Rane and all his kind.
From the
Author's Website:
"I'm
happy to say that NIGHT'S PLEASURE has been on the USA Today Bestseller list
for the last two weeks, and is also on the BookScan Top 100 books. I was hoping
to make the New York Times list, but, alas, it was not to be. Thanks to all of
you who have taken the time to email me and tell me how much you enjoyed the
book. I love this family, and hate to see the series end. Of course, there's
still Mara's book, and maybe one more.
At the moment, I'm hard at work
on a sequel to a book I just finished. I love it so far, but then, I love them
all while I'm writing them. It's only when I get the galley proofs that I start
to have doubts...is it really as good as I thought? Will my readers like it? As
I've said before, authors are notoriously insecure!"
My View:
Although
this book is part of a series, I really found that it could be read alone.
Savanah is a newspaper reporter who is forced into the world of vampire hunters
after her father dies. Rane is a natural born vampire. For the past several
decades he has been using his vampire abilities to earn his living as a small
town magician. He first sees Savanah in his audience when she is a little girl.
When she grows up and becomes a reporter, she decides she wants to interview
Rane, who is now using a different name, but is still a magician. Rane has
notice Savanah following his shows, but has refused to follow his attraction
for her because he doesn't want to be involved with someone he desires so much.
After Savanah corners him about an interview, Rane surprises Savanah and
himself by asking her on date. She accepts and as the two explore their desire
for each other they both are placed farther into danger. Now Rane has to battle
against those that want to rid the world of vampires and save Savanah, as well.
I liked
this book, as it doesn't try to hide the fact that vampires exist from the
world. Amanda keeps the story moving for the most part, with some slow parts in
the center and a fast paced ending. Vampire fans will enjoy this and the other
stories in this series.
