Romance Paranormal | Paranormal

When he is roused from a 65-million-year long rest, Ty Endeka immediately feels the predator within him rise to action. It takes all of his power to tamp down the desire to hunt, kill, and proclaim his sovereignty. But the world is a different place than it was the last time Ty walked the earth, and he knows he has a lot to learn. He has been summoned back in a human form by his boss, Fin, who shares a mind connection that tells Ty where to be. When he shows up at Fin's, Ty enters a room with ten other predatory males, each spoiling for a fight and determined to be the alpha of the room. These eleven men, known as the Gods of the Night, have been summoned to face an ancient evil. The date is November 11, 2011, and unless they defeat their enemy the world will end on December 21, 2012. They must join forces to protect the world as we know it from falling into the hands of evil.

Kelly Maloy doesn't know much about the man who hired her as a chauffeur except that his name is Fin and he pays well. Kelly just needs money to pay for school and she figures driving around some missionary who wants to help lost souls is as good a way as any to pay for it. Only when she meets Ty Endeka, she knows that he's no missionary. The man makes her feel sensuous in a way that she never has and terrified in a way that makes her uncomfortable, and the conflicting emotions make it difficult to be around him. When she learns the truth about Ty and his friends, that they aren't missionaries and are instead otherkin, shapeshifters with the souls of beasts, she has a hard time wrapping her mind around it. But she soon learns that theirs is an important battle, and that she might be an integral part of the fight between good and evil.

ETERNAL PLEASURE is the first book in Nina Bangs's new 'Gods of the Night' series, and it's an excellent introduction into this paranormal world. The story takes place in the not too distant future, but is miles away from where I imagine the world being three years from now. In Houston, Texas in 2011, vampires, demons, and werewolves walk the night, yet each of these paranormal creatures is more than willing to keep to themselves. That is until the Lords of Time decide that they will take over the world and they need assistance to bring an end to the human race. This story was at once erotic, enticing, and thrilling, with equal parts paranormal romance and romantic suspense. Ty is a strong alpha hero—a predator—and it takes him a while to get used to the way things work in this time. Kelly is a smart-mouthed, quick-witted heroine who provides a great foil for him, and these two made sense together, which was fun and entertaining to watch. I look forward to seeing what happens next in this exciting new paranormal world.

SUMMARY

THE ELEVEN--an alliance of ultimate predators. Primal, lethal, irresistible.

THE PROPHECY--an ancient Mayan prediction that the world will end on 12-21-12.

THE PREY--where can you hide from pure evil?

Kelly Maloy opens her car door to much more than a great looking stranger at the Houston airport. Terror, desire, and a horrible truth climb in with him. She's only supposed to drive Ty Endeka around the city for a few weeks. Too bad no one tells her that once day fades she'll become part of a battle fought in the darkened streets with an enemy that isn't human. And the sensual man who feeds her fantasies hides a soul that gives new meaning to animal magnetism.

Eleven Gods of the Night...
The only creatures more deadly are the ones they've been summoned to destroy.
