Mona Lisa is given a territory to rule by the Monere. The Monere are children of the moon, stronger and faster than humans; the truth behind all the vampire and werewolf legends. The territory she's been awarded is New Orleans. So she's queen over her territory, even though she's a mixed blood, the child of a human man and Mona Sera, her cold and uncaring Monere queen mother.

There are many who don't want Mona Lisa to have the territory, especially the queen who lost it to her. Even though Mona Lisa is accompanied by a retinue, including her two Warrior Lords, Gryphon and Amber, she will have to fight to establish herself as ruler. Her enemies are willing to fight to the death to prevent her rule, but they don't know she has powerful help available, including that of the King of Hell himself.

MONA LISA BLOSSOMING was just as entertaining as the first novel of the Monere, MONA LISA AWAKENING. Gripping with intensity from page one, I was immediately pulled back into Mona Lisa's world. Well-crafted with detailed images, crisp dialogue and steamy sex, Sunny has another winner, seamlessly continuing the story from the first book. If you like Laurell K. Hamilton, Christine Warren and MaryJanice Davidson, you will love Sunny. Don't miss this series -- pick up both books and savor every page. A very good read.
