Product Description
Sarah is a mortal who hears the voices of spirits. Driven by tragedy, she chases sightings, investigating the supernatural. Called to Nowhere, Texas, she finds not ghosts, but terrible danger...and demons. A soldier in the war between good and evil, Max is one of the oldest demons, stained by centuries of darkness, fighting to keep others safe without hope for himself.

Betrayal and loss haunt both of them, keeping them from finding peace. And yet to save an entire town, Max and Sarah must do the impossible: let go of the past, and find a future with each other.

Love is their only weapon. Nowhere is the battleground.

This is their last chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!, June 18, 2008

By	Natalie S "ns65" (Nashville) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Max, one of the Knights of White, is in need of forgiveness. Guilty of killing a human while protecting a fellow Knight's mate, he has been sent on a mission to Nowhere, Texas. Failure is not welcomed because final damnation is at stake, and since Max is one of the oldest Knights, he knows that the darkness growing inside could grab hold of him at any time. Arriving at his destination, Max comes face to face with destiny - his - and while his heart secretly rejoices in finding his mate, his common sense realizes just how dangerous it could be if the Darkland Beasts discover this.

Sarah has been blessed, or often times plagued, her entire life with hearing voices. It is because of this that she spends her time chasing spirits and spirit sightings. When word comes that she is needed in Nowhere, Texas because of strange happenings concerning the townspeople, Sarah doesn't hesitate to head that way. Upon arriving at the inn where she is going to stay, Sarah comes face to face with a man who easily captures her gaze. A man she knows will change her life. A man that calms her spirits and makes her heart sing. She doesn't know how important he will be in her life, or she in his, but she will soon realize that nothing will keep them apart.

Max and Sarah will utilize every tool they have, both mentally and physically, to fight the battle that has come to Nowhere, Texas. Darkland Beasts and Knights of White once again clash as the fight against good and evil continues. Max knows that in order to sooth his inner dark beast, he must be able to fight and defeat it without harming Sarah. Is he willing to take that risk? After all, she could be his downfall or his ultimate redemption.

Out of all three Knights of White releases I have read and reviewed, Max is my favorite hero so far. Given no choice in BEAST OF DESIRE but to protect Des' mate, Max killed a human which is prohibited. In killing that one human, Max sentences his soul to eternal damnation. He has only one last chance now to redeem himself. With that last chance, he finds Sarah. Sarah calms his dark beast just by being near him. Sarah's ability to hear and follow spirits helps Max on his mission and I just thought they made the perfect team.

The words compelling, magnetic, and addictive come to mind when I think of BEAST OF DARKNESS. The storyline is compelling, the characters are magnetic, and the entire series is addictive. Once again Lisa Renee Jones has just whetted my appetite with BEAST OF DARKNESS and I find myself on pins and needles waiting for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars fun quick read, March 5, 2009

By	Lisa Prior "suteko" (Nashua, NH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Silhouette Nocturne line isnt as thick as a lot of the other supernaturals I read but it is fun. A new take (to me) on paranormal romace with Angels and Demons I found I liked the characters. A bit reminiscent of Kenyons Dark Hunters and Feehans Carpathians, The Knights of White are a great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars So-so read for me, November 25, 2008

By	Virginia Susannah "Susie" (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews

I really wanted to like this book because it sounded interesting. I thought that the romance was weak and the chemistry between Max and Sarah fizzled. It seemed like they were rehashing the same stuff again and again. It started to pick up for me towards the middle and the ending was better. Once other characters were brought in, I started to enjoy the read. I was more interested in them then I was the hero and heroine. I'm going to read one of the others in this series to see if I like it more than this one.
