The Last Enchantress by Scott & Judith Powell
Being nineteen for over three hundred years bites, and being single in New York with magical powers isn't much better. Eva is trying to live an everyday life in New York. When this fails, she takes a seemingly unmagical job as a translator for a wealthy American family in Spain. Eva cannot stay out of trouble for long as she runs into a friendly but hungry vampire named Louis. Eva feels drawn to this handsome, dangerous stranger who has problems of his own. Louis's life was just fine until Eva walked into his church. She smells like heaven. Or is it hell, always smelling but never partaking? Surely she is the devil coming to collect on his lost soul.
Excerpt:
The sun was just starting to rise, and I knew that her disturbing
dream would not lead to sleeping late. I could hear her heart beating
faster as she began to wake up. Wrapping myself in my cloak to protect
my skin from the dawn’s light (the sun’s rays felt like hundreds of tiny
needles on my flesh), I departed the room. Closing the French doors
behind me, I waited on the roof for her to appear. I planned to spy on
her until she exposed herself as the typical mortal that I knew she must
be.
A few moments later, she walked out through the same
doors I had just used, dressed only in a cream translucent nightgown.
Her ankles were bare and slight, and I could just see the outline of her
slim legs beneath her nightdress as the sunlight began to touch her
skin. She walked purposely to a small stone bench under a tree that had
not yet awoken this year and most likely never would. Just as quickly as
she had come, she stood and began to walk back toward her room. I was
feeling playful. What did it really matter if I revealed myself? I
jumped down without a sound and sat on the bench that she had just
occupied. Even though she had only been here but a moment, I could still
feel her warmth lingering on the surface. Somehow, she sensed I was
there, and she began to run, which was not surprising. I was sure fear
motivated her movement. There was no need to pursue. I could catch her
easily. But then she did something that put all my old questions to rest
and created new ones. She jumped up and grabbed the edge of the roof.
Using it as leverage, she flipped her body up into the arch, doing more
moves than a gymnast at the Olympics, and landed, facing me, on the
roof.
Praise for the Book
What fun, and new perspective on vampires. And the intro of new specie,
Enchantress, gives this novel a wonderful and imaginative take.
It gives us another take on Vampires and the only Enchantress left in
the world. The story flows smoothly and the characters are developed
well.
Let me just start by saying for the record I am not a huge fan of
Vampires or flying humans, but this book has led me away from that
concept with a fantastic storyline that focused on a man and woman who
were meant to be. The fighting scenes were very detailed and visual as
you can tell the authors made this a point of emphasis in preparing this
book.
