NyteBeauti by Kristin Roisin was a fantastic read. A great plot with enthralling characters, you will be anxious to find out what Desta
must endure next.
Desta awakens with no memories of her past. Each night the only thing
she knows is an unexplainable hunger. Her memories show men with evil
eyes and it only causes her an increased sense of fear with each
remembering.
Lucky enough to have found a sanctuary in the basement of a church, a
priest offers her a wine that helps to quench her hunger. Each night
after her meal, she wanders out into the night, hoping to find the
answers to her past.
She finds herself at the same tavern each night, and is surprised that
it offers her a sense of safety. She ventures to the back of the
tavern where she finds a beautiful lake, which gives her a sense of
peace. She realizes it is the lake they call "Vampire Lake". She
remembers the tale that a great priest blessed the lake and it was
where many of the vampire kind, her kind, would meet their demise.
Her thoughts are suddenly interrupted when a man approaches her from
her behind telling her that all of her kind should be dead. Startled
at first, she slowly uses her finger to remove the sword at her
throat. The problem is this vampire slayer feels a strong connection
to her, and instantly resolves not to kill her, but protect her.
Sensing a trust in Cyrus, the slayer, she tells of her memories. He
swears to keep her safe, and with each night her search continues.
That is until one night, she meets a pair of the eyes from her
memories.
Scared and without thinking, she runs away. She runs into Cyrus and
tells him of her encounter. He takes her to a safe place where they
sleep until dusk.
At dusk she ventures out again, only to find herself in a very
compromised situation. Beaten and near death, Logan saves her. Is
this the first time her and Logan have met? As time goes on you will
learn that Logan is actually her maker, without me giving too much
away.
Roisin did a fantastic job with this title. NyteBeauti has the perfect
plot, with a lot of the vampire lore we are used to with some
fantastic originality. Her characters are ones that you will find
yourself loving one and angry with the other. I especially liked
Morrigan. She is a feisty Irish woman with a definite boldness you are
sure to fall in love with. I do hope to see much more of Kristin
Roisin.
I give NyteBeauti **** (4) Stars, BK Walker.
