Mona Lisa has come into her own. She's a queen of the
Monère, children of the moon, the basis for the vampire
legends of old. She's been awarded the territory of
Louisiana, which she technically won when she killed the
former queen and absorbed her essence. She got more than
the Monère queen's essence, however. Mona Lisa also
acquired the little bit of demon the former queen had taken
into herself to increase her power. Mona Lisa also must
deal with blood lust, the craving for blood that overcomes
her at a moment's notice. However, since Halcyon, the High
Prince of Hell, has declared her his chosen and
acknowledged mate, she'll have help from him in controlling
it.
Then Mona Lisa is kidnapped, taken to save a rogue Monère
male from madness. When she comes into contact with Dante,
the rogue male, she loses control and gives herself to him
completely. If he's impregnated her, what will become of
the baby, a mixed-breed demon and Monère child? Even worse,
she's learned through memories that Dante killed her and
all her loved ones centuries before and was cursed by her.
Would a baby break the curse, or would the curse destroy
the security Mona Lisa is finally claiming as her own?
Oh, my, Sunny, why have you addicted me? You
awakened me to the world of the Monère and Mona Lisa, made
a love for these characters bloom within me and now you
have me craving more and more of Mona Lisa and her extended
family. I've come to love them dearly, delightfully and
darkly and am desperate for the drama, the love, the
excitement and the very sensual episodes in Mona Lisa's
life I find I must have. As with all the previous novels, I
DID...NOT...WANT...IT...TO...END. Hurry MONA LISA DARKENING, the next
installment. I'm impatiently waiting. MONA LISA CRAVING is
a truly excellent read.
Dante, the warrior son of a healer, was cursed by the high
priestess to endure a never-ending cycle of life and
death, born and reborn into an ever-diminishing bloodline.
Someone shares one of his past lives. Her name was Mona
Lyria. Back then, on the moon in another world, she was
his victim. Today, she is Mona Lisa, and this time, she is
his savior. Dante's wish is to die by her hands to end his
cursed existence, but she feels fate has given them both a
second chance. For even stronger than her craving for
blood is her craving for what every Monre female desires,
and needs...to bear life. Now she has found her mate-but
with this blessing could come a new curse under the shadow
of a new moon.
