What the book has to say:
His legacy demands her sacrifice.
The Whitcombe Legacy: Three brothers, all vampires. For more than a century they've waited to fulfill a prophecy that could restore their humanity.
Julian Whitcombe's mission is to destroy vampires who prey on the citizens of New Orleans. According to prophecy, a woman with the power to restore Julian’s humanity will enter his life when the need for his transformation is greatest. As a mortal, Julian will continue his fight against the evil ones in both daylight and darkness, fulfilling his destiny. So, when Hurricane Katrina hits with a vengeance, Julian’s not surprised to find Simone LeClerc on his doorstep. He immediately knows she's the woman destined to make him human again. All he has to do is make her fall in love with him and make her willing to offer her life in exchange for his.
Simone LeClerc is frantically searching for her missing stepsister. Out of money and with no place to live, Simone finds help at Mike’s After Dark, a bar in the French Quarter. There, Simone meets Julian and finds herself falling hopelessly in love with him.
Still, as they search for her sister and fight off evil vampires from hell Simone can’t help wondering if it’s really love she's feeling for Julian or if he’s woven a spell around her that will mean her certain death.

What I have to say:
The woman destined to make Julian Whitcombe mortal again has finally arrived but she still has to fall in love with and be willing to offer her life in exchange for his in this thrilling paranormal romance.
While searching for her sister, Simone LeClerc finds herself falling for hopelessly in love with Julian but she can help but wonder if he’s woven some kind of spell around her and the reader can’t help but get drawn into the mysterious atmosphere that surrounds this couple as their attraction quickly grows into something more. The characters are strong and compelling with a hypnotic pull that readers can’t deny and the fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers shivering in anticipation with lots of suspense, excitement and romance.
There is an evil in New Orleans that is not only killing young women but has some very nefarious plans for the city not to mention for bringing down Julian which leads to some exciting clashes and the catastrophic setting adds to the plausibility of the bad guys intentions while spine tingling tension builds as Simone comes face to face with just how little she knows about the supernatural world that she now finds herself involved in. The well written scenes and details paint vivid images that capture the imagination while the suspenseful events guarantee that the reader can’t put the book down.
A curse, a prophecy, myth, evil, magic and sexy vampires combine with romance, some unique elements and surprising twists to make this a very fascinating world to get lost in and I am looking forward to reading all about Jerome and Jonah, Julian’s brothers.
