Dark Need

Review Lynn Viehl...treats the vampire universe to a sharp new set of fangs. (Holly Lisle) Product Description Homicide detective Samantha Brown is a tough, highly decorated cop. But twelve lonely years after she nearly died of a gunshot wound, she aches with a deep inner longing. In pursuit of a deranged killer, her only clue is a medieval cross inscribed "Lucan"-the name of the owner of a new nightclub near the murder scene. Drawn into a seamy underworld, Samantha falls for Lucan-who believes he's a vampire and Samantha is his reincarnated first love. Now, she must save this mysterious, seductive man who seems beyond redemption if he is to fulfill her deepest, darkest desires. When the death of her mother reveals a dark secret about her part-alien origins, professional shockball player Jory Rask embarks on a quest to find others like herself, a journey that leads her to the Children of Honor and to the Tana, a school for Blade Dancers, the most lethal killers in the universe.
