Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt

Elizabeth Hoyt is definitely one of my auto-buys.  I really, really like the Maiden Lane series and strangely enough, I am not yet bored and was surprised that this is already book 5.  Each book is centered around the same theme of the Ghost of St. Giles, but through Ms. Hoyt's writing skill, each book seems completely fresh, each introduces interesting characters, and I am always surprised at the ease she closes each book without it feeling rushed.

In this case, Godric (love the name) and Megs are two people with a heartbreaking past love story.  What is interesting is that Megs is the one who wants to move on and live, while Godric (again, LOVE the NAME) just is pursuing his cause with a tenacity that will surely leave him dead.

While this book is definitely steamy, it is also full of great dialogues, surprises, and interaction with characters from the previous series.  Everyone stays in character and Ms. Hoyt pretty much accomplishes a rare feat...she successfully introduces the characters in the next book.  And I can't wait until November!!!!!
