More About the Author
Meljean was raised in the middle of the woods, and hid under her blankets at night with fairy tales, comic books, and romances. She left the forest and went on a misguided tour through the world of accounting before focusing on her first loves, reading and writing-and she realized that monsters, superheroes, and happily-ever-afters are easily found between the covers, as well as under them, so she set out to make her own.
Meljean lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and daughter.

No sophomore slump here,

This review is from: Demon Moon (The Guardians, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Brook's second in the new Guardian series brings a fresh look at the tired vampire genre. Colin, a man so beautiful even men can't help but stare, is a 200 year old vampire. He was made by a nosferatu and therefore cannot exchange blood with other vampires, as is the standard in their society. Instead he goes out and feeds on humans. For vampires, blood and sex are inextricably intertwined.
Savitri Murray is an intensely curious woman whose thirst for knowledge get her in trouble. When Colin and Savi were thrown together during a previous battle with Lucifer, they engaged in an intimate encounter which both regret and long to re-enact. Colin cannot have Savi for he cannot feed from her enough to survive. Savi cannot be turned because she was infected by Hellhound venom and the intermixing of the two bloods could kill her. Throw in a battle against the nosferatu, some vampire politics in which Colin has no interest and this is a smart read for paranormal romance fans. There was a wonderful mirroring between Colin's sister and her husband's marriage and Colin and Savi's decision on how they can be together. This book has all the elements of a great romance: strong, vibrant characters; rich and fully developed world building; hot, steamy love scenes; and an tender romantic ending.

This review is from: Demon Moon (The Guardians, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Stunning as a mortal, Colin Ames-Beaumont took on an unearthly male beauty when he became a vampire centuries ago. Cursed with tainted blood, he is doomed to spend eternity without a companion, without love of his own. But even for vampires, the heart wants what it wants, and Colin has long been intrigued by the quirky Savitri Murray. Her breathtaking honesty and unconventional beauty have held his attention far longer than most women, but combined with that intoxicating scent of hers, he finds Savi completely irresistible...
Savitri has promised her grandmother she will settle down with a suitable boy. But what suitable boy wants a bride who finds herself battling demons and Nosferatu day after day? And then there is that pesky, undeniable desire she feels for that persistent vampire... Demon Moon is the second book I have read in Meljean Brook's The Guardians series. As with the first book in this series, I liked the lead characters, was intrigued by the plot, and was interested to see how the book finished. Also like the first book in this series, I found the pacing of the story to be extremely slow. In the first book, I had hoped that the slow pacing could be attributed to the world building that Brook had to accomplish to set up the series, but with this fourth edition of her saga, the world building is complete, for the most part. I can't say I didn't like the story, because that simply isn't true. I enjoyed The Guardians world enough, but the cumbersome pace has made me hesitant to read either the second or third books in this series, although both are novellas that are contained in anthologies which I already own. While I was interested in the story, it never quite gripped me, and I found myself distracted time and again by outside influences. Usually, I absorb so completely in a book that I block the world out, forgetting things like eating and sleeping until I have finished reading the book. Ms. Brook has a wonderful imagination and the ability to develop some very intriguing characters. I definitely think she is an author I will want to pick up again in the future, after she has a few more novels under her belt.

This review is from: Demon Moon (The Guardians, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Demon Moon is as complex and compelling as Brook's first book in this series. Where as in Demon Angel, we had the story of Heaven's Guardians and their evil counterparts the demons from Hell, this time we have vampires, demons and some humans along for this wild ride.
The writing is so superior and should be read slowly and not rushed through. This is not some lighthearted romance, nor fluff. There were times I was so confused by what was being said and done that I had to do some major re-reading. But overall I became lost in the world of Colin, our vampire hero and his painful yet adoring love for Savitri, his ecclectic human heroine. There is so much action, gore and eroticism that this should not be label as a simple romance. This book is so much more. This love story, even if you can call it that is so sensual and erotic. Colin even though a vampire not by choice, likes his life. He doesn't brood too much, rather trying to seduce his woman to his way of life instead. He has a quirky sense of humor and his ego is massive. Savitri who is of Indian descent is his counterpart and brings him down a notch. When these two let loose together, watch out. They are partners and lovers to the up most degrees. I needed a fan at some points because their passion for each other was sizzling. If you read this book before reading Demon Angel, you will be confused. I would recommend you start with that then move onto this. An excellent fantasy tale in every sense!
