Tempt the Stars (36 page)
A Midnight’s Daughter Novel
Dorina Basarab is a dhampir – half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing.
Together with sexy master vampire Louis-Cesare, Dory will have to face off with zombie vampires, fallen angels, and the maddest of mad scientists – if she’s going to get to the bottom of a deadly smuggling ring and somehow stay alive . .
‘Karen Chance takes her place along with Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, MaryJanice Davidson, and J. D. Robb.’
