"engaging multifaceted romantic fantasy"
Ethan McCabe takes his role as guardian of Cole's Hard
Time Bar and Grill bartender Charlotte "Charlie" Newcomb
quite seriously. So when three malevolent vampires attack
her, he is outraged even as he saves her. Apparently she
is not so much the target but the expendable pawn to get
at her still human sister Jane, a research scientist at
Legions Laboratories. Ethan believes Jane's demonic
boyfriend is the culprit behind the assault. To keep her
safe from the demons who want her for some unsavory
reason, Ethan thinks Charlie should become a vampire. Still although Charlie hesitates, Ethan plans to risk his
long life to keep her safe for that is his job. However,
deep in his soul, Ethan knows this is much more than just
a job; for inside his heart he knows that keeping her safe
is an eternal passion of his as he loves Charlie. Fans of Meljean Brooks' Guardians series will appreciate
the latest entry, DEMON NIGHT. Ethan is terrific in his
role as protector of Charlie, whom he loves, but fears
telling her as she has emotional issues caused by bad
relationships and her safety comes before his heart.
Although it pays to read the previous entries in the
Brooks realm (see DEMON MOON and DEMON ANGEL) to better
understand the complexities, this is an engaging
multifaceted romantic fantasy. Harriet Klausner
