Wings of the night series will never die...

This is a must read for a Maggie Shayne's fan. First one was Wings in the night, then followed with At Twilight, Twilight Hunger. And she's thinking in making two more addition to the serie. Next one will be published in March 2003 by MIRA books, I'll be waiting! You'll love every installment of these serie. In Wings of the night those three stories are magnificent; the first one makes you fall in love with Eric Marquand & Tamara. In the second you start to understand why Rhiannon is that stubborn and proud, you'll love her cat pandora believe me, and remember she's the princess of egypt! And in the third you felt like dancing in a neverending walts of love with Damien, maybe the most old of the vampires, when he perform his magic. In Twilight Hunger, it moves my heart the love between Morgan and Dante is so beatiful, it almost makes you cry all what they had to fight to be together. And in At Twilight (Born in Twilight & Beyond Twilight) It's very interesting what happens to Angelica, her struggle between her belief and what she is, and Jameson with the fear of losing his child. In the second story you'll know sparkly vampire Cuyler and her strong spirit against Ramsey and his neverending fight with his past. And the truth that will let him be with Cuyler. Be sure to get all three books and even with that you'll not be satisfied with these romance books, you'll want more and more of the vampire gang. I will never grow tired of them.

Great writing with excellent plot and characters!

I read Born In Twilight two years ago after a friend of mine suggested it to me. This book had such an interesting story, that I couldn't stop reading it! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys exciting stories.

Excellent!!!

For those who have read the Twilight Series you will love the story of Jameson, who you've read about so often! For those who haven't get them all. This is the best vampire romance series I have ever read. This book held me captive as all Maggie Shayne's do. I urge everyone to read this as well as the rest of the books! You won't regret it!!!! If you're looking for the others I found mine at a used bookstore.

Emotionally charged, original vampire romance

Maggie Shayne's newest addition to her fantastic vampire series is her most emotionally charged yet. A week before she is about to take her final vows to become a nun, Angelica ventures out alone at night to help the homeless. On the way to the shelter she is attacked by a ruthless vampire and transformed into one of the undead. Jameson Bryant's life has been haunted by the evil DPI (Department of Paranormal Investigations/vampire killers) because he has a rare blood type that will allow a vampire to transform him into a creature of the night. He escapes from their clutches but during this last set of tests they happen to take more than just Jameson's blood. They've take his sperm in order to start their next phase of experiments. Jameson finds Angelica near death suffering from self imposed starvation and although he knows she is dangerous something about her calls out to him and he is compelled to help her. Too hungry to resist what Jameson offers she drinks from him and cannot stop . . . Just as she realizes she's ended this beautiful, kind man's life a DPI agent shows up and in her fear and confusion she believes him when he says he can make her mortal again. The DPI fear vampires and it is their intent to exterminate the race. In their neverending paranoia they discover it may be possible for a newly turned vampire to become impregnated. Angelica naively becomes their guinea pig in their newest and most heartless experiment to date. Fortunately Jameson's vampire friends show up in time to transform him and when he learns of the results of the DPI's experiments he sets out to find Angelica. Although she thinks he's a monster and he despises her for cutting his mortal life short they must join forces if they are to save another innocent from the hellish clutches of the DPI. BORN IN TWILIGHT is one of the best books I've read in a long time and the most original and emotional vampire novel I've ever read. The best thing about this story is the care Ms. Shayne takes to develop the love story and the characters. She didn't take the easy way out and let them fall into a silly love/hate relationship so prominent in many novels. The characters struggle and grow and slowly begin to like each other almost against their will. They were real people and when they fall in love you know it's for eternity. This romance is the stuff dreams are made of. Ms. Shayne's amazing storytelling talent shines in BORN IN TWILIGHT. The ultimate page-turner, BIT is a not to be missed read for lovers of a fast paced, darkly sensual, deeply emotional, tear jerking story. Although BIT is a spin-off of her popular Wings In The Night series (for the now defunct Silhouette Shadows line) it very easily stands alone
