Twilight Memories: A spicy contemporary paranormal thrill-ride

By Maggie Shayne

Book Overview

The classic vampire-romance series that started it all...

Queen of the dead, daughter of a pharaoh, goddess among mortals, Rhiannikki is back in town, and Roland de Courtemanche doesn't stand a chance. She goes by Rhiannon now, but she's still the same ancient, mystical vampiress who has driven him mad all his preternatural life. She is the one who made him, he desires her like no other, and she's a bigger threat than the deadly forces on his trail-to his sanity, at least.

Roland is protecting 14-year-old Jameson Bryant, who is one of the Chosen. He has the Belladonna antigen, which creates a bond to the undead and because of it, government vampire-researchers are eager to get their hands on him. Before she died, Roland promised the boy's mother he would keep him safe.

In normal times, Roland lives quietly, stays under the radar, and doesn't engage in modern day nonsense. He likes his drafty old castle in France's Loire Valley. His solitary existence is necessary to contain the bloodthirsty demon that lives in his soul.

Rhiannon stirs that beast to life like no one and nothing else. She is vibrant, hot tempered, passionate, impulsive. She calls a black panther her familiar, and he's damned if they don't have a psychic bond. She was a priestess of Isis. She is the most powerful, magnificent woman he has ever known. His hunger for her is a fire inside him.

And she knows it.

What Rhiannon doesn't know is what makes her stubborn Roland think she's going to take no for an answer.

Customer Reviews

Better than the first

If anything I found the second in this vampire series better than the first. While the story of the heroine Rhiannon seems to owe a touch of credit to Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, she is a great heroine. I appreciate that unlike the usual tale this isn't about an innocent female mortal seduced by the dark seductive vampire. She is an ancient vampire herself filled with arrogance, insecurity, and unrequited love. Roland, introduced in Twilight Phantasies is both irresistably attracted and resistant to the love of his immortal life the tortured and mercurial Rhiannon. They are a memorable and unique pair. They aren't a simple retelling of a familiar plot. A wonderful book.

Maggie Shayne says it all !

Maggie Shayne readers, take heart... Her "Wings" series will be available soon at Wal-Mart, Waldenbooks and Borders in a collectors series. For those of you who love her work as well as I do, this news will make your day. Also look for "Infinity" (remember "Eternity"?) - it will be available in September/October... I know this news will make some people very happy!
