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.
