Etienne d'Alençon has been an Immortal Guardian for two hundred years. He sees Krysta and knows she is a "gifted one." The same as he had been before the virus that turned him into an immortal. The same virus that spawns the vampires, but because they were normal humans the virus slowly leaves them insane. It is the Guardian's job to remove vampires from the world. It turns out that there is more at stake here than meets the eye, for another danger is out there. Soldiers are trying to capture a Guardian for lab work.
DARKNESS RISES is a fascinating, fast paced, action packed book with just the right amount of tension, sexual and otherwise that will keep the pages turning. Krysta is fascinating, with her strength and beliefs, you know there is a good reason she hunts vampires and it comes out later in the book, plus there is even another surprise concerning that event that comes out after that. Etienne is the handsome perfect match for her ... tough yet tender. He accepts that she must fight and wanting her happy he agrees to let her fight with him, even though he is leaning more toward the urge to pack her away in bubble wrap.
This is the first of author Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians I have read but you can bet I will be getting the past books and looking forward to the new ones that must come out.
Book Summary
Dianne Duvall returns to the world of the Immortal Guardians, where danger and desire make every decision count. . .
Krysta is used to getting the drop on vampires. Her "special abilities" aren't much, but the plan is simple...she plays helpless pretty young thing to lure them in. Then her shoto swords come out and it's bye-bye, bloodsucker. Until one night she finds herself with an unexpected ally. He's a vampire, all right, but different. Mysterious. Handsome. And more interested in saving her skin than draining it.
Étienne d'Alençon has been an Immortal Guardian for two hundred years--long enough to know that Krysta is special. He can't stop thinking about her long legs, even more than her short swords. Then he discovers the vamps she's exterminating have friends in high places, and the Guardians are in danger too. He'll have to accept Krysta's help to save them. The stakes for a mortal are high. But the cost to his heart might be higher. . .
