finds herself at the Pit, Manhattan's hottest nightclub for paranorms, that she
understands what she’s really up against. Seems Master Vampire Volod has a
plan. By targeting the weaknesses of every paranorm in the city, Volod and his
fang gang aim to rule the night once and for all. Nyx loves a good challenge-

CAPTIVE SOUL,
Anna Windsor
(Ballantine, 12/28/2010, $7.99)
She’s definitely getting warmer. Her flame power nearly extinguished in a
battle against the dark forces attempting to control Manhattan, fire Sybil
Camille Fitzgerald is down but not out. Joining a new squad of warrior witches,
she hopes to reclaim her fighting spirit and, with luck, her pyrotechnic
mastery. Two problems on that front: a new army of cannibalistic demons and her
superheated lust for John Cole, an unholy blend of demon and U.S. Special
Forces agent now working undercover for New York’s Occult Crimes Unit. John
knows he can’t be trusted—hell, he can’t trust himself. His warrior soul has
entered a new, supernaturally fit body. Unfortunately, it’s a body belonging to
the Sybils’ worst enemy, whose supernasty essence still lingers. But when
John’s demon energy seems more alive than dead, it’s Camille whose scorching
kiss keeps him human—for now. All he’s got to do is master his dark side and
save Camille and the Sybils from an army of satanic hellboys planning their
ultimate destruction.
