SUMMARY


When it comes to love between a medusa and a Vampyre, it’s every man, woman, and snake for themselves…

A Novella of the Elder Races

As a coroner, medusa Seremela Telemar has always felt more comfortable chatting over a dead body than over drinks. But when her wild niece, Vetta, runs off to Devil’s Gate, a lawless town that has sprung up overnight in a modern-day gold rush, she knows she has to extricate her before the rebellious girl gets into real trouble. Though she’s confident in her head snakes’ ability to defend her against attackers, Seremela is still a bit nervous about braving this modern-day Wild West by herself.

Vampyre Duncan Turner is not about to let his new co-worker go into that chaos alone. His Vampyric power and lawyer smarts make him the perfect ally, and the fact that he already had his eye on Seremela for more…personal reasons, doesn’t hurt matters. Any romantic thoughts pull up short, however, when they arrive at Devil’s Gate and learn Vetta is set to hang by morning.

In order to save Vetta and themselves, Seremela and Duncan are going to have to fight fire with force and magic with fangs. And pray they make it out of Devil’s Gate alive.


MY REVIEW


35588120Duncan and Seremela
During the last scene of "Natural Evil" a girl steals a pack of tarot cards from Claudia who does not really care about them because she is busy running away with Luis.

That girl was Vetta, the restless niece of Seremela Telemar, the medical examiner who works for Carlin and Rune. Seremela is also a medusa i.e. a monster from the greek mythology who instead of hair, she has little snakes on her head. Usually medusas are the bad guys in books. In this case Seremela is a very nice girl who really cares for her niece.

So, when Vetta gets into trouble at Devil's Gate, Seremela runs to her rescue.
Devil's Gate is a magical place where people gain money mostly from gambling. You can say it is an alternative Las Vegas, much more dangerous and dark and full of magical beings from the Elder races.

Duncan is a vampire lawyer who also works for Rune and Carlin and he is very interested in Seremela. So, he will not hesitate to go with her and help her. The danger will bring love sparkles and we will officially see the first and only mating between a medusa and a vampire.

The little snakes on Seremela's head behave like pets and definitely steal the show. And they truly like Duncan.

Duncan began to laugh as her snakes wrapped around his neck and his upper arms.
