Treanor
Genre: Paranormal
Romance
Publisher:
NAL
Release
Date: April 5, 2011
Months
after her dangerous encounter with the vampire overlord Saloman, Scottish
academic Elizabeth Silk is still trying to cope with both the demands of her
vampire-hunting bloodline-and the desire she feels for Saloman, the immortal
she brought back from the grave. But she
is not alone in her fascination with Saloman.
When
Elizabeth tracks down a distant cousin from America, she learns he possesses an
antique sword that has caught the interest of the Grand Master of the American
hunters. It is the ancient and mystical
sword of Saloman – treasure of vast occult powers and a prize beyond measure to
both vampires and humans. Now the race
is on for possession of the sword.
Even as
her enemies and allies shift their allegiances and battle for supremacy,
Elizabeth must decide which will rule her own perilous fate: unwanted loyalty
or unholy love.
My
Thoughts
This
second novel in the series is just as engaging and compelling as the
first.
This
follow-up novel revolves around the legendary Sword of Saloman that was used to
kill Saloman over 300 years ago. It has
been passed down through the descendants of the human killers (Tsigana &
Ferenc) and is coveted by those believing it holds special powers.
Fearing
for all the descendants of Tsigana and Ferenc, Elizabeth tracks down as many as
she can to warn them of the danger they face at the hands of Saloman. Her mission brings her to a distant cousin,
Josh, who currently has inherited the legendary Sword of Saloman. Josh knows there is something unusual about
the sword; however, he is unaware of the extent of its powers. Despite very lucrative offers he refuses to
sell it knowing it must stay in the family.
The sword
is stolen and a hunt ensues to find it before it can be used for evil. Since the hunters and Saloman both want to
recover the illustrious sword from his enemies, Elizabeth and Saloman make an
uneasy alliance to find the sword together.
We see
more of the sensual and red-hot love story that is Elizabeth and Saloman. Still on opposing sides in the dominance for
power, Elizabeth still sides with the vampire hunters in their quest to rid the
world of vampires, while Saloman still seeks to rule the world (both vampire
and human). That hasn’t changed nor has
their love for each other.
Saloman
is the perfect bad boy hero we love and fear at the same time. Not truly good
or evil, he captures our hearts and stirs our souls. Elizabeth loves Saloman whole-heartedly and
is beginning to understand him, however, she is still uncertain whether they
can have a future together given their differences. Their relationship grows in this novel and their
bond strengthens.
The
epilogue leaves us wondering if Elizabeth’s ideals will endanger everyone she
loves?
My Final View
My opinion is that this novel is a great addition to this series
and includes a major bad boy hero, a strong-willed heroine, and the demented
actions in a villain’s quest for immortality.
I look forward to the next in the series (Blood Eternal)
Happy reading!
