Publisher Description
Young Lorelei Patio is determined to escape the eerie shadows of her past and her dark-willed father into a bright future filled with hope and love. Away from the darkness, Lorelei finds refuge amongst the tenants of elderly Mrs Winston, and when she meets her landlady's handsome grand-nephew, Liam, love soon blossoms.
But try as she might, she can't seem to escape her past. Sinister nightmares weave through her nights and the hours of daylight seem incapable of protecting her from the perpetual terror that her father could find her and destroy her new life and everything she has come to hold dear.
Virginia Andrews' breathtakingly seductive tale will hold readers captive in its irresistible spell.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Simultaneous hardcover and (through Pocket Books) mass market release will bestow neither collectible value nor broad appeal on this uninspired work from the estate of the late bestseller Andrews (1923 1986). Vampire's daughter Lorelei Patio (introduced in Daughter of Darkness) has rebelled against her family legacy, which requires her and her sisters to provide her father with young male victims. She flees with her first love and then strikes out on her own for tiny Quincy, Mass., "a perfect place in which to get lost." Lorelei strives to make a mundane life for herself and not draw unwanted attention from her family, the Renegades (vampire-hunting monsters), or the humans she dwells among. She becomes integrated into the community, developing relationships and finding a new suitor, but her remade life is threatened by her past. Readers who fondly remember Andrews's dramatic gothic novels will be dismayed by this tale's overwrought prose and underdeveloped plot.
