Welcome to week three in the Knights of the Darkness Chronicles tour, I reviewed book one on Friday 6/7 and book two on Friday 6/14, Book three on Friday 6/21, Book four on 6/28 and will be reviewing a new book in the series each Friday until July 12th.
Darian, Elise and Xander have been through very rough times in the past, but nothing has prepared them for the menace that is causing all kinds of havoc in their territory this time around. Chicago is at the mercy, or lack thereof, of a ruthless gang of supernaturals who seem to take extreme pleasure in other people's pain. In this game of cat and mouse, there's no way to tell who's the predator and who's the prey.

The Lions Den, book 5 in the Knights of the Darkness Chronicles, takes place about two years after the end of Hostile Territory, book 4. Relationships have changed and matured over this time and the crimes on the supernatural front have been pretty quiet, that however changes in a big way. We do get to know more of the characters that were introduced in Hostile Territory, book 4, I found they were brought right into the group that makes up the heroes and heroines of the Knights of the Darkness Chronicles books.
I have give a little *SPOILER ALERT* at this point to explain why this book to me got a 3 1/2 flower rating while the others to date have rated much higher. This book has as a large part of the antagonist plot the murder and sexual abuse of children. I have a really hard time with this if the rest of the writing and the story had not been as well done as it was I would have had to rate it even lower. The murder and abuse are never trivialised and the hero/heroine characters are sufficiently horrified however as I said this made the book far less enjoyable to me.
I did love the way that past and new relationships have developed and I love to read about the way that our arrogant master vampire takes care of a baby. This book did have funny moments and tender loving moments as well as the sexy steamy moments that we have come to love from the Knights of the Darkness Chronicles series.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I was born in the little, but big bustling city of Chicago, Illinois. I still live there today and I’m loving every second of it ... Except for those harsh cold winters. I started writing short horror stories when I was eleven years old. It wasn't until 2004 that I decided to take the plunge into the professional literary world when I wrote Desires Unleashed.
I love the supernatural world; I've always found it fascinating, especially vampires and shape-shifters. It was my love of the genre that motivated me to create the story I had always wanted to read. I published it, hoping there were other people out there who would be entertained by that same story. I love to entertain people, to offer them that fantasy world they can escape into filled with wonders and good times. I know I appreciate the escapism I've delved into when reading a good book.
Some of the accolades I've won for my writing are: "New Voice of Today" by A Romance Review, "Rising Star" by Love Romance and "Author of the Month" by Warrior of Words. I've been nominated two years in a row in several categories, including "best vampire novel" and "best urban-fantasy" at Love Romance and More. My third novel; The Royal Flush did win honorable mention in 2006.
