For a thousand years, Reinn Mackenzie has been a vampire. Of late, he hwas been appointed as the Guardian of the Blood, in charge of making sure the vampires of his clan only marry vampires, not were-anythings or any other form of preternatural being. His new case takes him to the Woo-woo Inn, where he hopes to keep Alan Mackenzie from marrying a werecat. If he refuses to comply, Reinn will have to kill him.

There are a few problems with that idea; he likes Alan, Ganymede the cosmic cat troublemaker has warned him not to kill anyone, and Reinn is falling hard for a werecat, Kisa Evans, Alan's future sister-in-law, himself. There is also someone who seems bent on harming Kisa, the cook has walked off, leaving Sparkle Stardust in charge of the kitchen, and a plague of toe biting vampires has struck. Failure to fulfill his mission will bring down the collected wrath of the vampire council, but that's just one more trouble on the list.

Nina Bangs knows how to make you laugh, that much is certain. Sparkle and Ganymede showing up always means the audience is in for a good time. The imaginative ways in which they deal with equally fanciful problems is delightful.

Synopsis
The Mackenzie council, in its infinite stupidity, has ordered Reinn to protect the purity of the clan's bloodline. What purity? They're all just a bunch of bloodsuckers! Besides, how can he destroy a clan member for mating with someone not on the council's approved list when the very sight of a certain little werecat revs his engine?

Kisa Evans makes it impossible for him to think about anything but the dangerous fantasy of freeing his own inner beast. No matter how he fights the desire to feel the soft heat of her throat beneath his lips, the craving only grows. Kisa may be the enemy, but he longs to show her the sweet ecstasy to be found in...A Taste of Darkness
