Burning Shadows by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro – review
In Burning Shadows, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro re-introduces her historic vampire, Count Saint-Germain Rakoczy or as he is known in this incarnation, Dom Feranescus Rakoczy Sanctu Germainios, regional foreign guardian of Apulum Inferior.

Hunting Memories by Barb Hendee Review
