Midnight Desire [Paperback]

Emma Holly (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2006

Two beloved tales that explore the darker side of passion...in all of its forms.

Revel in Catching Midnight, then experience Luisa's Desire.

Catching Midnight: They are the upyr, part wolves, part blood-drinking immortals. During the plague, they rescue an orphan and carry her into the Scottish wood to live as one of them. Blossoming, Gillian revels in the pleasures of the flesh and the hunt, but her heart yearns for the human world. Taking a falcon's form, Gillian escapes her keepers-only to be caught by Aimery Fitz Clare, a mortal nobleman. He could be the savior she's looking for...unless she loses her heart to him.

Luisa's Desire tells of a child of midnight who has arrived at a spiritual refuge in Tibet. Far from her normal immortal life, Luisa is surrounded by simplicity and self-denial. Here, she hopes to expunge her dangerous desires. But when she meets the monk who can save her, Luisa realizes she's only beginning to understand what desire is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously mad, February 13, 2007

This review is from: Midnight Desire (Paperback)

This book consist of a novel I already own in my collection, Catching Midnight. I can not believe the publisher did this to us and to charge the amount they charged?!?! Not only that but Luisa's Desire was so boring. I couldn't even get past the fourth page. Catching Midnight was good tho but I recommend you save some money and boy the stand alone novel. I hope Emma Holly will not allow her publisher to do this again.

I somehow missed the fact that this was a novel I already had packaged with a novella I didn't have. I liked the novel; the novella is nothing special. Slight. I hate this tricky repackaging stuff publishers are doing so much of lately.

I've enjoyed everything else I've read from Holly, but was terribly disappointed with this one. I found the whole plot with the upyr's boring and had to force myself to finish the novel. The novella was even worse.
