Maggie Shayne's _Twilight Memories_ re-introduces Roland de Courtemanche, a 1000-year-old vampire who first appeared in _Twilight Phantasies_. In this book, Roland is living in France with his young charge, Jamey Bryant, while Rhiannon, an arrogant-yet-vulnerable, beautiful, reckless 2000-year-old vampire romantically pursues him. They once again face the DPI(Department of Paranormal Investigations) and a dangerous mortal who is hunting Rhiannon. Eric and Tamara, protagonists of the previous book, also make an appearance in this book.

Maggie Shayne readers, take heart... Her "Wings" series will be available soon at Wal-Mart, Waldenbooks and Borders in a collectors series. For those of you who love her work as well as I do, this news will make your day. Also look for "Infinity" (remember "Eternity"?) - it will be available in September/October... I know this news will make some people very happy!

If anything I found the second in this vampire series better than the first. While the story of the heroine Rhiannon seems to owe a touch of credit to Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, she is a great heroine. I appreciate that unlike the usual tale this isn't about an innocent female mortal seduced by the dark seductive vampire. She is an ancient vampire herself filled with arrogance, insecurity, and unrequited love. Roland, introduced in Twilight Phantasies is both irresistably attracted and resistant to the love of his immortal life the tortured and mercurial Rhiannon. They are a memorable and unique pair. They aren't a simple retelling of a familiar plot. A wonderful book.

every book that I have read in this series is wonderful..Maggie Shaynes vampires are captivating...

RE-PRINT THESE BOOKS....PLEASE!

Please bring back the Silhouette Shadows series! I miss it so bad..its like a drug in my blood...every time i go to the store, I stare at the shelves, hoping against hope that it is back on the shelves once again.....

Third in the Twilight Series this is a truely excellent read... I have many of Maggies books in my collection.

I have read "Twilight Memories" and I am begging you to reprint the rest, please do not leave me hanging like this....

Maggie is a master of vampire romance, and this book, the start of her "Wings in the Night" series, is a classic. I hope, like other fans of hers, that this series will be reissued. Fans of Linda Lael Miller's vampire series will love Maggie's.

I was lucky enough after spending a lot of time looking everywhere I could think of to finally find the books that I was missing in this trilogy Twilight Memories and Twilight Phantasies. Because I found used copies I treat them gently. All Wings in the Night books are worth looking for and hopefully will be re-printed soon.

I have not been able to review this trilogy due to out of stock notices for the last 2 years but I would certainly buy them if re-printed. I have the additional titles in the series which led me to a fruitless search of the original triology.
