Rhiannon Gryffald understands the concepts of duty and
responsibility. When her father and his siblings are called
to serve on the new international Others Council, she leaves
a budding career as lead guitarist with her band to take up
the mantle of Keeper of the Vampires for Los Angeles. She
and her cousins thought they had decades before being thrust
into Keeper politics, but ready or not they must do their
utmost to keep order among the Others who call L.A. home.
Barely a week into her new duties Rhiannon learns the LA
area has a serial killer, one who may or may not be a
vampire. Three exsanguinated victims have been found in the
past two weeks. She needs to protect those vampires who are
innocent while attempting to find the killer, all before the
human residents of LA learn that Others are among them.
Rhiannon does not know if she is up to the task, but she
firmly believes her duty and responsibility is to stand
between humans and her Vampires even at the risk of her own
life. If only the all-too-attractive Elven detective in
charge will keep out of her way, she can prove herself
worthy of following in her father's footsteps and solve the
crime before more victims fall.
Elven cop Brodie Mckay is determined to solve the string of
murders happening on his watch. The bloodless victims have
had their fingers removed and their bodies hidden until
decay makes identification problematic. As the victims
identites are slowly revealed he learns attending the
auditions of the stage production Vampire Rampage is the
only tenuous connection the victims share. In his undercover
role as Mac Brodie, he has infiltrated the cast in order to
find the killer. Now he needs to be certain the new,
attractive Keeper of the Vampires doesn't bite off more than
she can chew in her zeal to prove herself worthy, and that
she stays out of his way so he can do his job. That job
would be a lot easier if she wasn't so distractingly
attractive.
Back in 2010 Heather Graham wrote a book called The Keepers
set in New Orleans. It was a pleasant if not thrilling
paranormal romance with a pretty nifty world built around
it.
Now a different story set in the same world comes to us,
starting off a new series that will be written by three
different authors. Heather Graham's contribution, KEEPER OF
THE NIGHT, is set in Los Angeles with a tighter, more
exciting plot and characters more compelling than the 2010
book making it even more worth the read. Book 2 in the
Keepers: LA series, Keeper of the Moon, will be
published in March 2013 and will be written by Harley Jane
Kozak
New Keeper Rhiannon Gryffald has her peacekeeping duties
cut out for her—because in Hollywood, it's hard to tell the
actors from the werewolves, bloodsuckers and shape-
shifters. Then Rhiannon hears about a string of murders
that bear all the hallmarks of a vampire serial killer, and
she must confront her greatest challenge yet. Together with
Elven detective Brodie McKay, they head to Laurel Canyon,
epicenter of the danger, where they uncover a plot that may
forever alter the face of human-paranormal relations.
