| Rating: 5 Swords Night Mischief Nina Bruhns Silhouette Nocturne Demon ISBN 978-0373617722, October 2007 Dark Enchantments #3 {Multi-Author series} www.NinaBruhns.com http://www.nocturneauthors.com/ Pages: 157 5 Swords I was enthralled from the first moments of this book! Many authors include paranormal elements, some do so exclusively, but few can cause the reader’s immediate and complete suspension of disbelief as powerfully as author Nina Bruhns has done in Night Mischief. The setting of the story was just as real to me as walking out my own back door! Professor Dawn Maybank heads the Department of Anachronistic Research at a prominent centuries-old English university. In her alter life, she is Lady Dawn of the Cadre, headquartered at her family’s ancient home, St. Yve Manor. A fellow of the Cadre run by her father and twin sister Aurora since she was ten, despite her arcane knowledge and skills as a demon tracker, Dawn had never advanced to the highest level of Adept. Her unforeseen encounter with a gorgeous demon who claims to be an incubus, and blames his presence on a spell she accurately read in her classroom, tosses her life into a turmoil-both vocational and personal. The demon Galen demands five nights with her, which Dawn expects to mean only in her dreams. After one night her disruptive colleagues begin disappearing from her life, either through accidental injuries or legal troubles. Then the really unexpected occurs, as Dawn begins to learn the truth about Galen, about the world of evil, and perhaps more importantly, the truth about her own deepest character. Excitingly adventurous, Night Mischief pulls the reader on a nonstop romp through the world of the unseen, both demonic and Sidhe. Rife with sensual pleasures and sexy thrills, author Nina Bruhns peels away the layers of character of her heroine and hero, family members, and demonic castes and hierarchies. Night Mischief is a must-read don’t-miss for readers of all stripes. Caution: do read with an ice bucket near at hand!
