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.
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?
