Publishers Weekly - Originality and history you certainly didn't learn in school. A dark tale of ultimate loss and betrayal. A beloved heroine, a saint struggles with deep faith, fighting to control adolescent desires, and a damned existence as a monster. Joan doesn't plan to fall for the young man, but does in spite of her own protests. This girl Jordan seems to be a problem. Michel is dead set on protecting her. Men! What's a five hundred year old vampire to do?
