Four of today’s most intriguing paranormal authors entice readers deep into the shadows, where vampires, immortals, and other supernatural creatures heat up the night…

But forced to work with Deacan McDougall against unexpected enemies with the seconds ticking by, she knows the explosion is coming…

Phantom Embrace by Dianne Duvall

Immortal Yuri Sokolov was born with the ability to see spirits, yet he’s never seen one as lovely as Cat Seddon, the woman who haunts his home and his dreams. But amid their star-crossed love, a new danger may have Yuri facing a different kind of eternity.

But when dead turns into undead and dangerous, Nina must find out who’s responsible…before the beautiful baby vamp takes too many bites out of the Big Apple.

I am not the big Anthology reader, so when I pick up one like just now “On the Hunt” with stories from Alexandra Ivy, Rebecca Zanetti, Dianne Duvall and Hannah Jayne, I have a real good reason for it. But this Anthology intrigued my because it contains 3 authors I really like, it was just Hannah Jayne that is new to my.

But the real reason to pick it up was that it contained “PHANTOM EMBRACE” by Dianne Duvall. Because I love those immortal guardians so much I will not comment on the other stories. Except that they were all as good as can be expected in an Anthology, which means those stories are normally short and the author has to have real skill to transfer his message to the reader, and those authors did their homework for sure.

Which brings me on direct route to Dianne Duvall. She did it again … and I mean that with a big FAT > !

First let me say one thing. You need to read the Immortal Guardians in the right order of their release to get the full joy. I is possible to read them as standalone, but you would never be able to grasp the full development that is going one besides the couples in the spotlight of each book – SO – DON’T do it.

Devoted Readers know what happened in the last book of the guardians and will wonder now, how it happened that it is Yuri getting a story on his own, due to certain aspects of the last book. I was wondering to and had “certain” feelings about that too. But Ms. Duvall blew my mind.

I refuse to tell specifics, because after all that this author already did to me I thought there would be nothing new left, but I was sooo wrong. So I believe that the reader should find out on his own what this story has in store. Just trust me – that she took something bad and managed to turn it not to something perfect – no, because there is nothing perfect about this situation, but she turned it to something more bearable. And she did that in a way no reader could have expected when reading the last novel before this one.

She started writing a vampire novel when she wrote the first book, but it is so much more than that and with this small novel she added another mark to her collection, another “specimen” to this wonderful collection of “Beings” she already created.

Her style is so silent that you hardly notice how her novels develop from a simple vampire novel to so much more. It is only after 6 Books and some short novels that, looking back, you suddenly realize where you are right now and where you came from and it is an amazing journey.

I truly hope – that this series will continue for a loooooong time because given this authors writing style there is potential for so many more stories in there.
