CRIMSON ROGUE

Author: Liz Maverick ISBN: 0505526255 4/2006 ACTION Publisher: DORCHESTER/Love Spell

From the four strata of Crimson City come rogues: vampire, werewolf, human, demon. These rebels, rakes and unsung heroes have turned their backs on the extravagant vampire skyway, the gritty werewolf underground, the iron-fisted human stronghold and the fiery power of the demon underworld. Walking a thin line between heaven and hell, they make their own rules and follow their own destinies. Ironically, they will be the ones to determine if the City flourishes or fails. Cydney Brighton knows them well, for she too is now rogue. Having escaped hell, she’s discovered that the City is not what it once was—and neither is she. Only one man understands her, understands what it means to be someone or something beyond control. He’s ready to come out of the darkness; and part-man, part-machine, he’s willing to sacrifice almost anything to make himself whole.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Yeah! The Crimson City series is back on track and I am loving it. CRIMSON ROGUE gives the series a much needed spike of adrenaline and promises there are more action-packed stories to come. Thank goodness, since the preceding book, SEDUCED BY CRIMSON, really didn't do it for me.

CRIMSON ROGUE ties up some loose ends, gives us a fine mechanical hottie, brings back some favorite old characters, and introduces us to some new ones that I cannot wait to read more about. The writing is moving and very spirited, which keeps the pace flowing and the excitement level building. Did I mention the mechanical hottie? Yes, well, he is one tortured soul worth mentioning again.

I am so glad to get back into the Crimson City Series. Truly, it is one of the most fascinating sagas out there. With several species learning to co-exist (or not), you know it's good!
