Colin Ames-Beaumont is a vampire. Created by the Nosferatu, he has more powers than your average vampire. But he can't share blood with other vampires or his blood destroys them as if God were burning them up from the inside. A mix between modern man and a French aristocrat from the days before the guillotine, Colin has wealth, looks, an enviable position in both the San Francisco vampire community and the vampire world in general. But no lady warms his bed or touches his heart. A lady for his bed he wants, but one for his heart? Such a creature doesn't exist. No one has ever fit the bill, not even Savitri, lovely vision that she is.

Colin would take Savitri to his bed, this girl with ties to his world and the world of Chaos, a hell beyond imagining, as well as ties to the Guardians, who keep all evil creatures from destroying everything we know. But take Savitri to his heart? He wants no one to touch the inner Colin. Savitri, however, knows what she wants, and what she wants is Colin -- heart, blood and soul.

Meljean Brook pulled me into Colin and Savitri's world at the very first scene and kept me there throughout the entire story. She has a great way of bringing her characters to life -- even the undead ones. DEMON MOON was fresh, yet familiar, a winning combination in every way. I loved the characters and returning to familiar scenes from the previous stories in the series: Falling for Anthony (#1) from the anthology HOT SPELL, DEMON ANGEL (#2) and Paradise (#3) from the anthology WILD THING. I'm hoping Ms. Brook is planning to continue this storyline -- I am hooked. You will be, too. A very good read.
