Sailor Gryffald and her cousins have been thrust into
unexpected responsibility. Their fathers have been called to
serve on the International Council of Others, leaving their
Keeper districts in the Los Angeles area to be governed by
their daughters.
Sailor may have inherited the position of Elven Keeper but
earning the respect of her peers is another matter entirely.
She knows she is young for her position, but she also
realizes she has not been giving her role as Keeper the
prominence it deserves. She has been more focused on making
a career as an actress than in fulfilling her duties to the
Elven in her district. That all must stop now that four
beautiful Elven actresses have been killed with the aid of
the Scarlet Pathogen, a pathogen she has been infected with
as well. It is time to buckle down and show the other
Keepers she has what it takes to do the job, even while she
suffers the effects of the disease. She may be new and
unaware of the web of Keeper alliances already in place, but
her work in the industry has given her insight into the
victims held by no one else. Dealing with layers of Elven
society she never knew existed proves an unexpected
challenge, but with a man like Declan Wainright at her side,
she has a glimpse into the inner circles of those who hold
the power. Sailor hopes he never learns about the crush
she's had on him since she was a teen. Can you say
'awkward'? She may find Wainright overwhelmingly attractive
but she refuses to join the queue of women lined up
clamoring for his attention, especially when another victim
could be found at any moment. Besides, with the head of her
own Council refusing to take action, she needs to take help
where she can find it.
Declan Wainright; Shifter Keeper and owner of the Snake Pit,
is a well-known fixture of the late-night club scene.
The Shifters he is responsible for are under suspicion for
the recent spate of deaths, and his experience has him
fearing a clash between the Other residents of the L. A.
Area. A conflict pitting Elven against Shifter against
Vampire might destroy the secrecy the Keepers have worked
years to establish. Beyond that basic responsibility, with a
former lover among the dead, he has vowed to bring the
killer to justice, no matter where or with whom that path
may lead. His main partner in the search for the murderer
is raw and practically untrained. Sailor Gryffald intentions
are pure but her thoughtless actions and scattered energy
cause more disruption than assistance to the main goal of
finding the killer. It is even more annoying that she is the
most disturbingly attractive female he has ever encountered,
and one of the hundreds of callow would-be actresses in the
L.A. area to boot. Still, she is one of the few on the Elven
Keeper Council taking action even against the wishes of the
Council head. Bottom line, since she has been infected
already, without him beside her she could very well end up
the next dead body.
KEEPER OF THE MOON is the second in The Keepers: L.A.
series. As an actress herself (among other roles
including back-up singer and, of course, author) Harley Jane
Kozak brings a glitzy, gritty reality to her description of
Sailor's life. She is perhaps best known among mystery
lovers as the author of the Wollie Shelley (Dating Dead Men)
series. Her mystery chops have helped her weave the
suspenseful threads of this paranormal romance seamlessly
within the world established by book one, Keeper of the
Night, written by Heather Graham. This is Kozak's first
romance, but I hope not her last. She's a darn good writer,
no matter what genre she chooses. Book three in the series,
Keeper of the Shadows by Alexandra Sokolof is due out in
May, 2013.
Lust. Elven Keeper Sailor Gryffald's body quivers with it,
but is it a symptom of the deadly Scarlet Pathogen coursing
through her bloodstream or the proximity of shifter Keeper
Declan Wainwright?
Sailor and Declan have had an uneasy relationship ever
since they met, and now things are about to get a lot more
complicated. A killer is stalking Los Angeles,
intentionally infecting Elven with the deadly virus, and
now Sailor and Declan must work to keep the supernatural
peace while bringing the murderer to justice. But, in doing
so, these powerful denizens of the Otherworld find
themselves straddling a fine line between lust…and love
