After a year of regrouping, Conall Macmillan "Mac" has done
his best to control the demon within him with some success.
He is finally able to come to terms with his fate and begin
doing what he does best, investigate. Mac's freedom is
short-lived when Allessandro Caravelli catches up with him
and forces him to run, leading him back to the Castle where
vampires, werebeasts, and other creatures dwell. His own
demon crawls closely to the surface after entering the
darkened prison challenging his control. Mac comes upon a
beautiful woman determined to drink his blood, but with his
demon powers returning with some unique differences, he has
the power to help the damsel in distress, opening up
unthinkable possibilities.
Constance Moore is taken to the Castle shortly after rising
from the dead, never becoming the true, powerful vampire
she could be. Instead, she lives her life in the walls of a
prison as a servant to a wizard and a mother to an Incubus.
Some believe the future of the Castle can be saved if her
son is sacrificed, which will keep the walls from tumbling
down around them. Constance is confident that her only hope
is to change into a full vampire to protect her family, but
she needs human blood to do so, which is very uncommon
within the walls of her home. Her hope for the future is
tossed at her feet, but she quickly underestimates the
stranger, even after he dispatches one of the powerful
guards. Could this stranger be her savior, after all?
This second book in The Dark Forgotten series is a unique
blend of paranormal beings with a strong sense of survival
to live in the human world and loyalty among unlikely
friends. I enjoyed the quick-paced plot and look forward to
reading more in this series.
Ex-detective Conall Macmillan loves bad girls, but his last
lover took the cake—and his humanity. Now half-demon, Mac’s
serving time in the castle, a supernatural prison.
Constance, a strangely innocent vampire he meets there,
needs his help. Her son has been kidnapped, giving Mac a
case to work.
The trail leads to the castle’s most terrifying section—and
secrets—and Mac learns cracking the case could cost him his
last scrap of humanity.
