"will appeal to paranormal, romance and mystery fans"
Kirby Brown and Helen Smith are as close as sisters are so
when Kirby comes home to see Helen and her lover's bodies
savaged, she's bereft and horrified. Helen was a witch and
Kirby has powers of her own so she knows that the two
policemen that are guarding her are something evil. She
escapes from them only to see them come after her in their
true form, reptilian like monsters. She would have died if shapechanger Doyle Fitzgerald hadn't
appeared on the scene. He dispatches the two monsters and
the vampire that comes after them. Doyle is part of the
Damask Circle; an organization consisting of people with
paranormal powers that fight the evil forces that are loose
on the world. His current assignment is to track down a
witch who is targeting other practitioners of magic and the
only one who can stop her is Kirby. Doyle, who loves
Kirby, tries to protect her but he can't guard her from her
own fears for only she can do that if she dares. Keri Arthur is one of the better writers of supernatural
romances and her Damask Circle series is a perfect example
of how she makes the extraordinary seem believable. CIRCLE
OF DEATH will appeal equally to paranormal, romance and
mystery fans. The characters make the paranormal seem
normal; the romance between the shapeshifter and the witch
is utterly believable; and the mystery will key the readers
into turning the pages, eager to find out who is doing the
killings and why. Harriet Klausner
