Paranormal Romance

Fiona McDonald is a Keeper, one of an elite group of warriors charged to keep the peace between the human and supernatural worlds. Though new to their legacy, she and her sisters take their job seriously. Based in New Orleans, one of the most haunted cities in the USA, they are always on alert in their work of maintaining a safe balance between worlds. Someone, however, is determined to tip the balance of power in favor of the supernatural world. Bodies begin to turn up, drained of blood, obviously the work of a rogue vampire. Detective Jagger DeFarge is assigned to the case, and he and Fiona must work together to stop a madman from igniting a war between man and vampire. Fiona must trust Jagger with her life, which goes against all she's been taught, for Jagger is a vampire. Heather Graham's THE KEEPERS is a well-written suspense romance in Harlequin's Nocturne series. The story is neatly plotted with enough twists and turns to keep the reader entertained. I had a bit of trouble with the whole supernatural aspect of the story; paranormal characters were a bit too human. Overall, however, the suspense elements worked, making THE KEEPERS a good read.

SUMMARY

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Heather Graham introduces the thrilling world of the MacDonald sisters. Born into a legacy, they balance the fate of the world and the passion that might force them to risk it all . . . At the core of New Orleans lie the otherworldly vampires and shape-shifters that hide in plain sight among mankind. As one of the Keepers, an elite group possessing superior skill and strength, Fiona MacDonald's duty is to maintain peace in a place where one vampire's bite could ignite war. When Detective Jagger DeFarge, a vampire, is called in at the discovery of a body drained of blood, both the detective and Fiona must join uneasy forces. Jagger will stop at nothing to find the murderer—including working with the sensual and suspicious Fiona. As more die, it becomes clear that this isn't the work of an ordinary vampire. No one is safe. So when the killer's attention turns to Fiona, will Jagger risk destroying his own species to protect the woman he so passionately desires?
