~ (January 27, 2009)
Jack McShane: lover, killer, seducer, family
man, and vampire. In the shadows of Savannah,
with its hip nightspots
and moss-draped oak
trees, Jack is trying to
save humankind from
a threat it doesn't know
it faces: an explosion
of the otherworldly, the
weird, the wanton,
and the wicked.
Tourists are heading to Savannah for St.
Patrick's Day--and Jack
is racing through
tunnels below the city
to the edge of Hell
itself to hold off a plot
posed by the double-dead
and demented. But Jack
must also hold off
his own desire for Connie
Jones, the beautiful
cop he turned into a vampire
slayer. Connie,
her blood running hotter
than she can handle,
can't imagine the games
that Jack is playing
with her body and her mind,
or that the other
monster she's falling in
love with is all
part of his devious plan.
Welcome to the world of Jack McShane, a blue-eyed
vampire who knows how crazy
things can get--once
you get a little taste
for blood.

the slayer, she will be immortal, doomed
to the existence of a half-vampire, half-human
killer. But how can an anguished Jack kill
the woman he loves?
Meanwhile, the bloodthirsty Old Lords work
to harness elemental powers
to raise the

plan would free every
twice-killed vampire from
hell and turn them
loose on the citizens of
Savannah. William,
weakened by a power he
doesn't understand,
must do battle with the
Vampire Council before
they can unleash their
bloodthirsty minions.
Will he be able to survive

be unlike any other. Paul's take-control
attitude and his down-home charm bring a

of her empty heart. No longer content to live in her late husband's
memory, Margaret contemplates a prestigious
offer at a West Coast university, a move
that seemed so simple before meeting Paul.

between them? Please visit Fran's website: www.franmcnabb.com |
