"terrific paranormal romantic suspense thriller"

T-FLAC operator Duncan Edge heeds the telepathic message from his mentor Henry Morgan to keep Serena Brightman Campbell safe, but she wants nothing to do with him. Desperate he mentally plucks her out of her shower to his home where she rips his skin for not staying out of her life. He struggles not to salivate in front of her as he sees his long time nemesis naked. Duncan has always desired Serena from their teen days at wizard school, but avoids her for fear she is the one that could bring forth the Nairne Curse that haunts his family as it has for five centuries.

However, Duncan, Serena and another long term friend Trey Culver compete in the four Tests to determine who will become the head of the Wizard Council now that Henry lies comatose from a stroke at the same time someone is serial killing wizards. As Duncan and Serena fall in love to his chagrin as he fears for her due to the curse, the competition heats up with more murdered wizards at a time that Trey seems to be gaining strength; though he prefers not to believe so. Duncan wonders could his former schoolmate be killing his peers to abscond with their power and if yes can he be stopped?

The final Edge tale (see EDGE OF DANGER and EDGE OF FEAR) is a terrific paranormal romantic suspense thriller that ties up all the loose ends. Readers will wonder how the Edge siblings will elude the curse as each one has fallen in love; ironically the audience knows that Duncan loves Serena long before he does. The story line is action- packed but it is the pairing of the two powerful wizards that make for a fine finale.
