Unleash the Night

November 15, 2005
When Wren Tigarian saves Maggie Gou-deau from a band of attackers in the French Quarter, she has no idea he is anything other than what he seems -a mesmerizingly attractive man who is lethal in a fight. But Wren is Were-tigard, an outcast cross between a snow leopard and a white tiger, and a member of the Katagaria, a race of animals that can take human form. Not human and shunned as a half-breed by his own kind, Wren knows he must stay away from Maggie for both their sakes -an ultimately impossible task that results in events that put their lives, as well as the entire were-world, in danger. Edgy, sexy, and satisfying, this compelling romance takes the beauty-and-the-beast theme to new heights and is the latest in Kenyon's -Dark-Hunter - series. Kenyon ("Bad Attitude") also writes romances as Kinley MacGregor.

Marguerite, the daughter of a wealthy senator, has little interest in the socialite life her father wants for her. So when New Orleans friends decide to go to a bar called " Sanctuary," curiosity prompts her to tag along. There she meets Wren, a shy busboy. The attraction is immediate on both sides--and dangerous. Wren is a hybrid were-animal, an outcast even in his own supernatural world, and he's been marked for death. Marguerite should leave, but their fates and hearts are now entwined, and she knows there is no turning back. In this second novel to feature the Weres, Kenyon defies expectations once again. Wren the loner plays a tortured Romeo to Marguerite's Juliet, a young man coming to terms with who and what he is and having to find his niche in the world. This depth and vulnerability of character has not been seen before in her heroes and proves a challenge for Kenyon, but the result is a thrill ride filled with magic, action, and scintillating passion.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
