Tallulah “Tully” Hart, father unknown, is the daughter of a hippie, Cloud, who makes only intermittent appearances in her life. Lifelong, conflicted friendship of two women is the premise of Hannah’s maudlin latest ( Magic Hour, 2006, etc.), again set in Washington State. With pulse-pounding action, ongoing intrigue over the fate of vampire-kind, and the tumultuous struggles of Tucker and Lizzie’s love story, Hays and McFall once again deliver a thoroughly entertaining novel for readers to sink their teeth into.Īnother worthy entry in this love-and-fangs series. Although the plot this time around is fairly straightforward, its events result in dire consequences for the star-crossed lovers. This series is intended for audiences who like blood and bullets along with their romance, and the prose here is sharp and to the point, much like the majority of the characters. Now it’s a race for the mixed-species rescuers (human, vampire and Tucker’s dog, Rex) to save Lizzie and her unborn child. While this discovery opens up new business opportunities, it also lets Elita, Lizzie’s friend and bodyguard, and Rurik, a Russian rival for the queen’s affections, know that Lizzie is still alive.
As research begins, Burkett uncovers the existence of the Meta, the otherworldly plane where all vampires’ consciousnesses go during daylight hours-and where humans’ souls go when they die. Louisa Burkett, a scientist who will do anything to have one last shot at vindicating her theories, he intends to use Lizzie’s blood to synthesize a cure for human aging-and make a fortune selling it. There’s no ransom and no demands the man that hired them, fat-cat businessman Auscor Kingman, has other plans. But before they can say “I do,” a well-trained mercenary group kidnaps Lizzie. Is it Lizzie, their new queen, who wields the power to save their kind, or is it her unborn child? Time will tell for now, Tucker and Lizzie are just trying to enjoy a respite-and maybe even get married-now that a semblance of peace has been reached. But in LonePine, the nine vampire tribes have at last found a prophesied savior. The world of vampires is dying out, as they’re unable to turn humans to replenish their ranks.
In the third installment of their horror series, Hays and McFall ( The Cowboy and the Vampire: Blood and Whiskey, 2014, etc.) return to LonePine, Wyoming, as human Tucker and vampire Lizzie discover that they have a whole new type of bloodsucker to worry about.
