Children of the Night

Diana Tregarde Investigation Series, Book 2

By: Mercedes Lackey

Narrated by: Traci Odom

Rock band Wanderlust is about to hit it big, guitarist Dave Kendall is sure of that. They're playing better venues, in front of bigger crowds - and the people showing up at the after parties are increasingly good-looking and cool. Some even radiate power, like "Master" Jeffries, the tall, saturnine man who seems to have some sort of weird control over Dave's fellow bandmates.

But Dave's too tired to pay much attention to Jeffries. He's tired a lot lately, and making music isn't as much fun as it used to be. Probably he's just working - and partying - too hard.

Luckily, Dave has a friend who takes what's happening to him very seriously. Diana Tregarde is a practicing witch and a Guardian of the Earth. It's her job to keep an eye on innocents like Dave and make sure they stay out of trouble and don't become someone's lunch.

Jeffries has been on Diana's hit list since she first spotted him pursuing a young Romany. Di wasn't fast enough to stop him, but the Rom have their own protector - a dashing, charming, very attractive vampire named Andre Le Brel.

Together, the witch and the vampire face Jeffries and his evil minions in a battle for the soul of rock 'n' roll.

Second magical story spun by an amazing author!!!

As stated in the review for the first book this story magically comes off the page (read off the page) In technicolor!! Lackey isn’t lacking anything in her writing!!

the characters

I enjoyed the lore, and the characters in the book. very good story to get lost in.

terrific

This audiobook was a delight. I enjoyed the narrator's development of each character. I have to admit to having a soft spot for Andre for a long time. This book is an old favorite and probably one of the first true urban fantasy books written.

I like the way she works with the magic in the book.

the books are miss numbered in the series. this is book one. burn water is box two.

loved the convergence of ideas

loved it, captivating story. relistic approach to vampirism in its many forms. an insight in to the world of our favorite witch.
