THROUGH A CRIMSON VEIL

Author: Patti O'Shea ISBN: 0505526476 10/2005 PARANORMAL Publisher: DORCHESTER/Love Spell

Los Angeles. Once, it was the City of Angels. Now, it’s Crimson City, whose inhabitants know nothing of Heaven. The tentative peace between the species—werewolf, vampire, human—teeters on the brink of collapse. Yet the peril is greater than any imagine. There is a power here that longs for release. Below, beneath, beyond, it seethes. And there are those who would see it freed. Mika herself seeks freedom. She’s come to Crimson City looking for the key. But that key’s keeper is a killer, an outsider, a mercenary with a poisoned past. To her kind, he has meant only death. No matter that Conor McCabe’s pale green eyes hold a hint of lust, the glint of a bond never to be broken; the path ahead lies in shadow. And the moment of truth must come…Through a Crimson Veil.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Next up in the Crimson City saga, THROUGH A CRIMSON VEIL. This third book in the series proves these stories just get better and better.

If you liked the first two books you will love the spin Patti O'Shea puts on this paranormal keeper. It's exciting, fun, dangerous, and sexy! Two strong characters dominate the scene and their romance is as hot as it gets. The way they interact is pure magic, and the author gives them a terrific stage in which to act on.

Though I hope for past characters to come together eventually, this one is fantastic on its own. It's my favorite so far, though A TASTE OF CRIMSON isn't far behind it. Action packed, scary, romantic and laugh-out-loud funny, THROUGH A CRIMSON VEIL makes for a book that is hard to put down.
