Gillian Keyes is both a solder and a healer. She is also
trying to build a relationship with the Master Vampire,
Aleksei Rachlav. While in Romania with Aleksei, she and the
other soldiers are dealing with the aftermath of war between
the Dracula's band and those who follow Aleksei.
In the midst of all this Gillian is asked to take on some
Paramortal clients who have need of her special expertise.
Gillian is a certified sex therapist for paramortals.
Aleksei is having a little trouble with his lover getting
involved with anyone else. In all his four hundred
years, he has never come across a situation like this. Not
only will Gillian have to help her clients, she have to
face a dangerous enemy from the past.
Imaginative, compelling, and thrilling are all good
adjectives to describe this story. My first quibble with it
has to do with the sheer number of creatures involved. You
have Egyptian mythological creatures, Greek mythological
characters, vampires, werewolves, fairies, elves, brownies,
gargoyles, one of the ugliest creatures ever seen, Jack the
Ripper, as well as the phantom of the opera. It felt a
little like the author was trying to include every type of
character she'd ever researched. My second quibble was the
amount of sex and the orgies all inspired by the glamour of
the phantom.
If you like urban fantasy and erotica, this will be right up
your alley.
In Romania, the estate of master vampire Aleksei Rachlav has
become the headquarters for those paramortals who stand
against Dracula’s army. And soldier and paramortal
psychologist Gillian Key finds herself with a new group of
clients. One is straight out of legend—a disfigured, masked
man who haunts a Parisian opera house— and who becomes
Aleksei’s rival for Gillian’s heart.
