Lark, a member of the Order of the Stake has been assigned
the death of a vampire. It was nothing unusual; it was
after all what Knights of the Order did. Though the
Knights are all human and did not align themselves to any
paranormal group they did help them with problem creatures
they might have. She is about to be involved in a
unexpected and BEAUTIFUL DANGER.
Domingos LaRogue is a vampire who had been a "pet" of the
Levallois pack, tortured and forced to fight to the death.
He was able to escape, but now in the throes of madness is
seeking revenge of the very pack that made him the way he
is. And no one can stop him, not even the beautiful hunter
who wants to stake him.
Lark has no way of knowing that when she accepts the job
for the Order it is one that will change her forever. Her
husband had been a knight and she had vowed after his death
to kill a vampire for every day he had been held captive.
But Domingos is different. She is different with him. She
understands his need for revenge, because that is what had
been driving her since her husband's death. They are
enemies ... could they be more.
BEAUTIFUL DANGER is a deeply compelling read. There is much
more to the story and characters than what is at first seen
and it makes the reader think what would they do in Lark's
position. Domingos and Lark are both hurting in some of the
same ways, and only together can they become what they are
meant to be. This book has a lot of action, intrigue and
does not answer all of the questions the reader might have,
but leaves a number of hints that things might not be as
they are claimed. Author Michele Hauf has a riveting way of
writing that keeps the reader going to the end and leaves
you wanting more of the world you had just visited. I hope
there is a follow up or two for this Order because there
are a number of characters I would like to see with a story
of their own.
As a member of an ancient order of hunters, Lark has found
that eliminating dangerous vampires is about more than duty.
It's personal—a kill for every day her husband was held
captive before his death. Staking her prey isn't a challenge
until she confronts Domingos LaRoque. Mad with vengeance and
the blood of a powerful phoenix, Domingos tests her skills…
and seduces her soul.
Once a talented musician, Domingos can't escape the constant
music in his head…or his need to destroy the werewolf pack
that tortured him. Though trusting the hunter ordered to
kill him could be his gravest mistake, the dark desires
between them can't be refused. Yet as he and Lark become
allies to defeat a mutual threat, loving the enemy may be
the ultimate sacrifice.
