Fantastic adventures abound in these Bestsellers

In the Company of Vampires by Katie MacAlister

Publishers Weekly –


This adult sequel to MacAlister's YA paranormals Got Fangs? and Circus of the Darned follows Francesca, ex-girlfriend and perforce soul mate of the ultra-hot vampire Benedikt, as she tries to live her own life. After rescuing her roommate from Norse god Loki's evil minions, Fran heads to the GothFaire in Germany in search of her missing mother. When she finds Ben with evil Naomi, she flips out. While resolving her emotional issues with Ben, she stumbles on one of her mother's secrets and meets Ben's shape-shifting brother, David, who has problems of his own. European myths get a workout in Fran's wisecracking narrative, at its best when her lusty Viking ghost guardians are on the scene. The pace is so fast and the sex so hot that the reader scarcely notices the lack of emotional, setting, or character depth.




Wolfsbane by Patricia Briggs


From the Publisher –


Shapeshifting mercenary Aralorn leads a dangerous existence. Now she must return home for her noble father, the Lyon of Lambshold, has passed away. But when Aralorn and her companion Wolf arrive, they find he's not dead, but ensorcelled by the ae'Magi, using him as a conduit to destroy Aralorn and Wolf. She must overcome this mysterious mist or fall to the blackest of magic.




Play of Passion by Nalini Singh


Publishers Weekly –


Singh returns to the dynamic community of her changeling wolf pack in the feel-good ninth Psy-Changeling installment (after July 2010's Bonds of Justice). Indigo, a SnowDancer lieutenant, will only date someone who is her equal in rank. As the pack's tracker, Andrew Kincaid is outside of the rigid ranking structure, and he'll use all his charm and persistence to strike the right balance between wooing and challenging aggressive, dominant Indigo. The game between them, alternately playful and deliciously sexy, is set against a backdrop of a war among members of the emotionless Psy Council, a war that puts the entire SnowDancer pack at risk. Longtime fans will welcome the return to the well-drawn and engaging culture of changelings after two installments focused on human/Psy relationships. The overarching series plot looms over the romance, drawing readers further into a world of intrigue, deception, and love.
