NIGHT OF THE TIGER really begins five thousand years ago when the Lady of the Beasts and her warriors fought an epic battle against Hades and his demons from hell in a desperate attempt to protect the world and their Lady. When the end was close and there were too many for them to defeat the Lady using her remaining strength, cast a spell on her warriors. They were frozen in their shifter form and only a woman could break the curse for each of them.

Aimee Horner leads a quiet life, a bit of a hermit, due to the scars she bears from the accident that had killed her parents and almost herself. She a graphic novel illustrator and lately she's worried that the job is getting to be much too vivid. She's having terrible frightening dreams about demons and hell, but intermixed are dreams of a white tiger that fill her with peace and rather erotic dreams concerning a handsome man with white and black hair. One evening against her better wishes she accompanies her one friend the gorgeous Sandra to the carnival that sits on the outskirts of town. After a short time she loses sight of Sandra and rather strangely finds herself in an empty carnival, but before she starts walking home she is drawn to go inside a tent that holds the most gorgeous carousel she has ever seen. Knowing she should head home, she is unable to leave without looking more closely at the lifelike animals there. Plaques name the missing animals; a serpent, jaguar and a Phoenix but still there is a lion, a wolf, and a beautiful white tiger. On an unnamed urge Aimee climbs on the back of the tiger and immediately a bell rings and the carousel starts to whirl... faster and faster until the world turns black and silent. When Aimee awakes she finds out that it hadn't been a dream or nightmare after all.

Roric is the handsome man in her dreams and the white tiger from the carousel. She has freed him from the spell and he is on a mission. He will survive the next 24 hours for if the demons beat him his soul and Aimee's will be Hades to do as he wishes; he will find the remaining warriors and free them and then they will go into hell and free their Lady. He doesn't have time for any kind of feelings for the woman who rescued him. He has his duty to perform. But with every moment he spends with Aimee, his heart slowly becomes hers.

THE NIGHT OF THE TIGER is an amazingly different paranormal, with its mixture of Gods from Olympus, demons from hell, warrior shifters and a shy graphic artist. It is wildly exciting that the author, N.J. Walters, was able to take all these elements and carve out a well written, mysterious storyline that will keep you reading and looking for more.
