Children of the Night
3 journalers for this copy...
From the back cover...
Don't go out at night... the vampires are hunting!
The gypsy boy had asked for Di's help - called on her for magical assistance - and she could not refuse, especially after he was slain practically on her doorstep.
But the vampire Di finds cradling the body isn't the killer - he's the gypsies' protector, Andre LeBrel, who informs Di that there's more than one monster stalking the streets of New York.
Now it's up to Diana Tregarde, Guardian and practicing witch, to find the killers and destroy them... with a little supernatural assistance from a very friendly, and very sexy, vampire!
Listen to them howl!

I generally enjoy Lackey's books, especially her Valdemar series. "Children of the Night" was much different from those books, but, on the whole, I did enjoy reading it.
"Childern of the Night" is a curious combination of fact, fiction, and fantasy woven to entice and capture the reader. I found the first few chapters to be rather stilted and found myself woundering if I was missing something; as it is, I was! LOL. This is the second book in a set of three 'Diana Tregarde Investigations.' I have yet to read the others, but I would recommend reading them in order. However, having said that, if you do read them in order, I have a sneaking suspicion that, Lackey is overly repetative...something I've found in her other books. It's as if she doesn't trust the reader's ability at all to retain info.
I'm passing this off to a fellow bookcrosser--my Mom! Enjoy.

By 8:30 in the morning you will be able to find this book located by on the side of one of the planters on the North-West side of the building. That is the side that is closest to the parkade entrance/exit with a bus stop right outside the door.

I enjoy Mercedes Lackey's writing and this was a new genre for her. I found that, although this is the second in the series and I haven't read the first,reading the first did not seem to be necessary. This story stands on its own very well and I would now like to read the 1st and 3rd books. I understand that Mercedes Lackey isn't going to pursue this investigative venue as it was not selling well - mores the pity! Enjoy the read.
