"An incredible storyteller." --Los Angeles Daily News There Is No Escaping Despite a floundering marriage, Megan O'Casey and her husband Finn still make good music together. Which is why they head to Salem, Massachusetts, Megan's hometown--booked to perform a weeklong series of concerts culminating on Halloween. But as soon as they arrive, Finn seems different--sensual beyond belief one moment; cold and ruthless the next. The locals--even Megan's relatives--regard him strangely, with a distrust bordering on hatred. The Nightmare Within Something powerful is arising, a malevolence that may have already claimed Finn for its own. As the full moon approaches, Megan senses that she, too, is in mortal danger. But there are forces watching from beyond the pale of life and death. Whose side they're on is the least of Megan's worries. What they could reveal about her is what she's running from. . .

I was a little surprised that this is considered book 5 in the Vampire series, because really this was a story about witches. There are a few vampires towards the end of the book, but the story could have been told with out their involvement. I thought the story started out a little slow, but then gained momentum. Towards the end, I really wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen next. I liked learning some of the historical information about Salem. I was able to predict who the evil priestess was less than halfway through the book, but the other members of the evil coven were more surprising to me. ( )

I am typically not a big horror fan, but this one was given to me. It just so happened that I read it during a week when there was a lot of intense fog in my hometown and had me a little nervous...haha. It was an OK book. A little intrigue, a little martial discord, a little romance. Not the best, but not the worst book I ever read. ( )

Library Journal says "...fans will be waiting for this one." I imagine that prior to being cut, it said "ONLY fans will be waiting for this one." As the culmination in a series of paranormal romances mainly centered on vampires, this one certainly did disappoint.
The two main characters are already married at the start of the novel, which is odd for a romance, but that doesn't mean they bicker any less or trust each other any more. And theirs is the love that is supposed to conquer all, including a centuries old demon that even Lucian doesn't know how to deal with. Whatever.
I also think this series of books has the same (really terrible) editor. I have continually been stunned by the myriad errors in each book, mostly of the variety spell check doesn't catch ('a time to reap and a time to sew", for example).
Really, I'm quite chagrined that I wasted so much time reading this series. ( )

This would probably have been more pleasing if I had read more in this series, however I haven't so I'm not sure if this is a typical read in this series or just a book that features some of the characters from the series.

It does have Vampires and Werewolves in the story but that's actually not very important to the plot. They felt like they could have been replaced by ordinary people and not really changed the story much. So I was left with a vague wondering why they were necessary in this story of human courage and spirit overcoming paranormal evil. Some of the plot twists did take me by surprise but this was basically a story about some Satanists wanting to manifest a demon and what two people have to do to fight it.

It was readable but sometimes I felt that things were a little forced and didn't flow well. ( )
