Seth has been waiting all his life for something and has had visions of a woman, a woman who is somehow wrapped up in his destiny. When Sean is mugged, beaten and left for dead Sean readily accepts vampire Reaper's offer of immortality and even on the brink of death Sean realizes that at last he is on the road to fulfilling his purpose. For anyone who loves paranormal books this is a must read. ( ) The hero has always felt like he was destined for something more than being a fry cook at the local burger joint. The dreams of a woman haunt him and longs to meet his fate, what ever it may be. Then one, he and his friend are attacked and beaten. The hero, with his blood considtion are on the brink of death when a man comes to him. He's the heros guardian of sorts, a vampire who's psychic link to him has brought the vampire to him to save his life. The hero instantly takes the offer and he is turns. Once he's a vampire the link to the dream woman is strengthen until he can use it to hunt her down. The heroine is a fox shifter whos been kidnapped and emprisoned by the rogue vampires and turned into a vampire herself. She's also dreamt of a man who's to be her destiny and knows that he's doing everything in his power to come rescue her. One night, they meet and the hero breaks her out. Together, along with their group of vampires and chosen alike take on the rogue vampires. I thought this book started out well. I liked the hero. He's kind and selfless and eager to help anyone in everyway he can. When it comes to the heroine, he's shy and awkward but at the same time, he's protective and falls in love with her at first sight. But he was also ruthless. For a fry cook who's only battle experience up until that point was video games, he took the idea of killing people far to easily for my liking. He was so sweet and kind one moment but then he's planning to burn people alive. Regardless if they are the enemy, someone of his character shouldn't take to murder so comfortably. I liked the heroine as most times she's more animalistic the human. She thinks sex is mating and has trouble comprehending phrasing. She was very innocent and childlike-often running in the forest chasing mice. But I'd say over 50% of the story was not focused on these two characters. Instead I felt Reaper and Topaz gained most of the attention. This is largely in part tot he fact that while I liked the two main characters, I didn't feel they had enough charisma to be the focus of attention. Reaper has darkness and tension and a deeper character. Even Topaz-while being truly annoying and bitchy-sparked an emotion within me more that the hero and heroine did. They were just too plain and flat. Overall I wasn't engaged in any of the many story lines. This is the latest in Maggie Shayne's Wings In the Night Series about vampires. I tend to shy away from vampire romance these days, mainly because they all seem the same. However, Shayne was writing vampire romance before it was the "in" thing to do and I gladly read anything she puts out. This book introduces new vampires into the fold, along with bringing back a couple from previous books. I really liked the fact that the hero and heroine in this book were both young, born within the past few decades and were both still trying to come to terms with their powers. Seth's recently been turned into a vampire as has Vixen. However, Vixen is also a shapeshifter who can change into a fox. The conflict was great, especially once Seth found out Vixen could turn into a fox. Right after they'd had sex for the first time. From someone other than Vixen. Shayne's also done a great job setting up a new possible antagonist, although I have a feeling the same guys who have been chasing after her vampires since the mid-90s are the same guys chasing after this new group she's introduced to us. And I love that. I really do. I love the continuity. Overall, this was a really good book. I enjoyed this book very much. This is the first vampire book I have read by this author. This is not your typcial vampire book. You have both good and evil fighting eachother but there is a twist........both sides are made up of vampires! There are some really funny witty comments made.
