Moonlight, Madness and Magic

Summary: three supernatural tales
Review: All three stories have to do with the descendents of Rachael Dobbs and Jonathan Nightingale. In 1690 he betrayed her and said she was a witch, so she burned at the stake, but not before cursing his descendents. The three stories are about his descendents. The first guy is a werewolf, the second a vampire, and the third makes his dreams come to life. In the first two, by Forster and Rupprecht, Dobbs' descendents falls in love with the Nightengale descendent who's cursed, and in the third Dobbs' descendent falls in love with the cursed boy's father. I really like the first and second stories, but the third really didn't go into what was wrong with the boy. Rachel Dobbs' descendent was a witch in the third story, and she just came in and dispelled the evil energy. It was a good read, although actually not that scary.

Summary: Paranormal romance done right!
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely- recently re-released it is great.
Part 1 MOONLIGHT by Forster is sexy and wild- a dark werewolf tale- the young maiden gives her innocence to save her love. Highly erotic and dark.
Part 2 MADNESS by Rupprecht is striking- the violent taking of the gentle physician turned vampire of his blind lover is brutal and highlights the consequences of the curse dramatically.
Part 3 MAGIC is a modern tale by Charlotte Hughes. The boy is suffering from horrible pain- his fears and revulsions and nightmares become real - reads more like a Stephen King book or an episode of the X-files. How the gentle witch breaks the curse and finds love with her Nightingale is strong and true.
