Kurzbeschreibung
The last in a long line of women sworn to guard our world against evil, jeweller Garet James is struggling to come to terms with who - or what - she really is. Will Hughes, the alluring four-hundred-year-old vampire who tasted her blood and saved her life, could help, but he's disappeared. Garet believes he's in France, searching for the Summer Country, the legendary land of the Fey where he might be freed from his vampire curse. Desperate to understand her legacy, Garet follows Will. In Paris, she encounters strange, mythic beings - an ancient botanist metamorphosed into the city's oldest tree, a gnome who lives beneath the Labyrinth at the Jardin des Plantes, a dryad in the Luxembourg Gardens - meetings that convince her she is on the right path. But Garet is not the only one trying to find the way in to the Summer Country - and the closer she gets, the more dangerous it becomes...

Follow up to Black Swan Rising
19. September 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
This follow up to Black Swan Rising finds Garet James traveling to France to find Will Hughes. After stealing the box, Hughes has gone to Europe in hopes that he will be able to cross over into the faery realm and finally be rid of his vampire curse. In order to find him, Garet will have to gain the favor of a number of local fey.
The story alternates between Garet (present time) and Hughes's own background story. While the new characters and their stories were great additions, I found myself much less interested in Will Hughes's tale. Unfortunately, I found that the book felt rushed and was a bit of a let down after Black Swan Rising. The cliffhanger ending was not much of a surprise and could have been worked into the story a little better. I hope that book three in the series is more on par with the series opener.

engaging romantic urban fantasy
2. August 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Jewelry designer Garet James opened Pandora's Box when she fell for a ruse and unfastened an enigmatic silver box. Her unlocking led to the release of evil on the world. Still with her lover four centuries old vampire Will Hughes, she defeated malevolence in New York (see Black Swan Rising).
However, Will vanished afterward absconding with the box. . Garet feels good her lover took the enigmatic artifact as she just wants to return to design. However, instead she follows Will who wants to rid himself of his violent Undead nature in order to grow old with his beloved Garet. On her quest to reach the magical Summer County where she assumes Will went to, Garet meets the unexplained in Paris and Luxembourg.
The second James-Hughes romantic urban fantasy is an engaging tale that rotates past and present as Will stars with his background of how he became a vampire and with his present quest to return to a human due to his eternal love for Garet. The overuse of mountainous misunderstandings between the lovers lead to changing basic values of each as their paranormal peril seem over the top of the Eifel Tower and Buurgplaatz Reservoir; still fans will enjoy watching the pair seek Summer County.
