Unholy Embrace-Neil Benson
Human
Frank Thornton and vampire Nessa Harcanu hold hands as they walk
together at night in Manhattan. He knows his beloved is a centuries old
vampire, but has not witnessed at all what that means until this
evening. Werewolves attack them, but Nessa overpowers them; shaking
Frank with her abilities.
They met three weeks earlier with both
attracted at first sight. Now he needs to know why the assault. Nessa
honestly thinks a serial killing demon she hunts sent the horde. He
thinks about leaving her, but cannot as he loves her though he wonders
if she is using her vampiric enchantress skills to manipulate his
desires. Still Frank tells her he cannot convert, but wants to be with
her. She explains the demon is not her worst nightmare. Her sire, who
she killed back in 1627 after he converted her and sucked dry her
husband, left behind a raging predator the “widow” Narice who wants to
destroy her for killing the Master; Frank is her Achilles Heel.
This
is an exhilarating urban fantasy filled with demons, werewolves and
vampires; oh, my! Frank is a terrific human who feels as if he fell
through the rabbit hole when he fell in love while Nessa is an honest
vampiress who tells him the truth. Although there is too much going on
with the lead couple as the demon hunters and as the Narice hunted,
sub-genre fans will enjoy this tale of blood and romance flowing on the
streets of Manhattan.
