"exhilarating paranormal police procedural romance"
Fort Lauderdale Homicide Detectives Harry Quinn and his
partner Samantha Brown discuss the case of the drowned
woman who both believed she was not swimming when she
died; the nearby heavy medieval cross with the name Lucan
adds to the overall sense that murder has occurred.
However, Sam's biggest concern is not what appears to be
the homicide of a tourist, but that her partner is
retiring in two weeks; he knows her secret that ever since
she was shot twelve years ago when she touches the blood
of a victim she envisions the last moments of their life. Still loyal to the Darkyn chief Richard, enforcer Lucan is
tired of his role so he has opened up a Goth club in Fort
Lauderdale. However, instead of a deserved respite he
realizes someone is killing those who visit him. The
former enforcer knows what he must do even as Richard and
his superior Michael head to Southern Florida to confront
him and Samantha investigates a serial killer leaving
behind the Lucan cross. When Lucan meets Sam, he believes
she is the reincarnation of his only love Frances while
she wonders if she is falling in love with a killer. The latest Darkyn tale is an exhilarating paranormal
police procedural romance that never slows down from the
moment that Harry and Sam discuss the first homicide until
the final lethal confrontation. The tale is fast-paced
while focusing on the deadly abuse of power. However, what
makes the tale superb is the relationship between the
Darkyn cop and the Lauderdale cop as she wonders whether
her heart could be wrong as her brain insists he is the
killer. Lynn Viehl provides a fabulous supernatural
thriller. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
