Virginia and Michigan - Present Day
After a
night spent taking pictures, photographer Theo Billings is tired,
but stoked by the prints. One in particular is interesting and
warrants a better look in the morning. He doesn't know how true
that is until he sees a news report the next day about a woman who
died in the alley where he'd been the previous night. Taking a
closer look at the picture, Theo realizes he just might have a photo
of the murder in progress and the murderer.
With
Vampires closer than ever before to forming a Council to police
themselves, Anna Grace, one of its proponents, is determined that no
power hungry rogue messes up the discussions. Titius, a psychotic
vampire bent on world domination, fits the bill of someone to stop,
and Anna has been chasing him for months. Now that she's got a lead
on his location, Anna heads to Virginia to force a confrontation
and, hopefully, end Titius' reign of terror. Who knew a human
photographer would be the key to the upcoming fight.
Vampires don't like to get their pictures taken. Theo's lucky shot
helps Anna find Titius, but also puts Theo in danger. Anna,
generally a one-night-stand kind of woman, inexplicably finds
herself going out with Theo. Funny though he might be, he's still
human and usually she's immune. Even worse, when Theo comes to
Titius' attention, Anna is more worried for him than for her
mission. Will Anna stop Titius before he can start his campaign
towards taking over the world? Can Theo show Anna that there can be
more between them than sex?
Similar
to the previous three books in the Blood Lines series, NIGHT'S
JOURNEY is a combination of action and adventure. The story is told
from multiple points of view, but mainly Theo and Anna's. Theo was
in a bit of a life rut when Anna stole into it. Barely making ends
meet working for the local newspaper, he has no qualms about
throwing that all away when opportunity brings something better into
his life. Anna has had several decades to become cynical about life
and love. She believes the old theory about vampires finding mates
is a fallacy and, even if it is true, it probably isn't for her.
Vampires in Ms. Armstrong's world are bisexual by nature, so readers
should be prepared for some homosexual encounters. Secondary
characters include Titius, a vampire crazy with his own power; Chey,
a psychic who is a whole different kind of crazy; and a few other
characters who provide background and tie-ins to the previous books
in the series. The sex is raw and often raunchy with a bit of
darkness as befits vampires. Will it transcend to something more
from mere sex for Theo and Anna? Pick up NIGHT'S JOURNEY and find
out.
