Kitty is back for her latest full-length novel in one of her best outings yet. Visiting London for the first International Conference of Paranatural Studies, she has a chance to scout out the Old World’s place in the Long Game — the vampire Roman’s far-reaching, nefarious plan for vampires — and see both old friends and some who do not quite fall into that category.
Visiting London, however, is not quite the diplomatic outing and chance to reconnect that she is expecting. Roman already has allies, also swarming London for the convention, and if Kitty plans to make any progress in summoning together her own forces against him, she has to learn to play by the rules of new kinds of vampires and lycanthropes.

The sixth book in Morgan’s Paladins series surpasses all of its predecessors by leaps and bounds with a delightful setting and supporting cast for the story and romance. Morgan has outdone herself with this book, and it is by far my favorite of hers to date.
Hunter Fitzsimmon was the tortured—literally—Paladin of the last novel, relocated for reconnaissance and recuperation to a sleepy Washington town in pursuit of an illicit ring of Others—aliens crossing over to earth through a shaky transdimensional barrier. Read More »
