"Splendid paranormal romance"
Twenty six years old Maxine "Mad Maxie" Stuart and her
partner Tempest "Stormy" Jones are moving from White
Plains, New York to Maine to open a private investigative
firm. Maxie cons her beloved retired cop forty-four years
old Lou Malone into driving; she hopes to persuade Lou
that they belong together professionally and personally,
but the stubborn former cop feels she can do better than
him. The sleuths receive a call from a close friend who they
have not seen in years. Jason Beck tells them that his
sister and her friend are missing and last seen in
Endover, New Hampshire. He fails to warn them that the
Prince, a vampire, has the two teens and is using them as
bait because he recognizes the picture of Stormy on a
brochure announcing the new company. The Prince aided by
local Sheriff Fieldner plans to regain the love he lost
once he has converted Stormy and eliminating Maxie is a
viable option with Lou ready to die to keep his beloved
safe from the supernatural. The events of this tale occur in between those of TWILIGHT
HUNGER and EMBRACE THE TWILIGHT, filling a gap that will
elate readers. Maxie still works on Lou's psyche to get
him to realize she is what he needs and more important he
is what she desires. The Prince is an intriguing vampire
with scruples until he sees the picture; then it all fair
in love and war, which he will soon find himself in both
as Maxie is quite a formidable opponent especially when a
loved one seems threatened. Maggie Shayne provides another
splendid paranormal romance with her latest Wings in the
Night Twilight thriller. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
