TOUCH OF EVIL

Romance Paranormal

Mary Kathleen Reilly has a lot going on. She runs her own apartment building, she flies all over the world for antiques, and she has angered the queen vampire. What else could there be? Other than her family, and an ex-boyfriend that makes being single and living with a few cats the rest of her life look good, not much. Or at least for the time being, right?

The vampire community considers Katie non-prey... that is until recently. Now it looks like all bets are off, and not in a good way. With the 'Queen' on her tail, not even Katie seems to be able to stop her plans. But, what about the wolves?

I have read both HUNTER'S MOON and HUNTER'S WEB by Adams and Clamp. I liked both books but I have to say I like this new series even more. It is funny, even during the most intense scenes. I loved that Katie just keeps getting deeper and deeper into trouble but always finds a way to go on. So, if you need a laugh and a good butt-kicking story and a few more werewolves, this one is for you.

SUMMARY

Kate Reilly has a hard time trusting people. Six years ago, the love of her life turned her over to the vampire parasites who call themselves the Thrall. Katie survives the powerful bite of the master parasite only to discover that the Thrall's venom, coupled with her own natural psychic ability, has transformed her. Now she is next in line to be the Thrall Queen--and each day might be her last as a human. Tom, a handsome firefighter, arouses all of Katie's dormant senses, but her heart shies away. After Dylan's betrayal, how can she trust any man -- even a seemingly perfect and terribly sexy werewolf? Tom's sincerity--and sex appeal--begins to wear down Katie's defenses. But his increasingly insistent charm hides a potentially deadly secret: his werewolf pack is hiding the one person who can stop the Thrall from completing Katie's transformation into Queen--and they won't give her up.
