Description

Book 1 in Maggie Shayne's Bestselling Wings in the Night Series

The Thin Line between Love and Death...

In two centuries of living death, vampire Eric Marquand had learned to live with the cruel fate that had condemned him to walk forever in shadow, forever alone. Then he found the woman he knew was meant for him--and understood that to possess her was to destroy her.

Against all reason, Tamara Dey saw clearly that her destiny was eternally entwined with Eric's and that she must not only show more accept but welcome the terror and splendor of the vampire's kiss. She trembled at the thought of spending eternity in his arms, but was her trembling born of desire...or fear?

I picked this up as my first book on my new Nook ereader because I somehow got my hands on book 12 in this series and wanted to at least read the first one before reading number twelve. I found it for waaaay to much money online or 2.99 in electronic format...so electronic it was!

Twilight Phantasies is the story of a very special woman named Tamara. Tamara works for a top secret government agency that tracks and studies people with "unusual" abilities. He guardian also works for this agency tracking a vampire named Eric Marquand. Tamara's guardian is quite fanatic in his belief that all vampire's are inherently evil and should be destroyed or made weak so he can study them.

Tamara decides to go ice skating in the middle of the night, she show more can no longer sleep, and meets the very same man (vampire) that her guardian has been tracking and attempting to capture this whole time. She instantly feels the connection...it's as if their minds were somehow joined.

Needless to say, when her guardian finds out, trouble arises...in many many forms. I throughly enjoyed the story and the characters. The small side plots and characters only brought the main ones to life even more. I've purchased the next couple in the series and I hope they are just as good.

In book one in the Wings in the Night series, Eric Marquand survives the guillotine during the French Revolution and becomes a vampire. Now in present day, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to a young woman who’s calling out to him for help through her dreams.
Tamara Dey has horrible nightmares when she sleeps. She works for the DPI—the Division of Paranormal Investigation—but doesn’t have high enough clearance to really work on the interesting cases. She’s drawn to Eric even though he’s the main subject of a DPI investigation.
I liked Eric for the most part, but I couldn’t connect with Tamara at all. Even though she complained when her mentor Daniel and her coworker Curtis treated her like a child, she never stood up for show more herself and put a stop to them controlling her. She continuously defended the bad guys and refused to trust Eric, believing the worst of him.
Eric, however, was kind and patient (too patient sometimes) and treated her with respect.
I really liked Eric’s friend Roland, and I’d love to read more about him.

This book was well-written and thought out. While the story didn't grab me, I think it was more my mood at the time and nothing related to the book.
Ok read, typical Harlequin series book
definitely worth the time it takess to read. i read the whole book in 2 days.
