Product Description

From the Author
Author Comment: How I Came to Write COMPANIONS OF THE NIGHT
I started COMPANIONS OF THE NIGHT because of a talk I was giving where--in giving illustrations--I used several examples from vampire stories. Someone commented that I had obviously given vampires a lot of thought and that I should write my own vampire story. I had thought about vampire legends, the conflicting "rules" or myths about them, and how in recent books and movies writers had stressed the horror and the gore. So I decided to go ahead and write that story, using the rules I thought made the most sense, writing for the kind of reader I am. I am very pleased to find that others enjoy the story, too. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Vampire Story and More!, 19 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Companions of the Night (Laurel-Leaf Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
I LOVED THIS BOOK! When I first read the summary, I thought, okay vampires - the usual story line....NOT SO! The story started out with a 16-year-old girl named Kerry. After a late-night trip to the laundrymat to retrieve a lost teddy bear for her brother, Kerry becomes involved in helping Ethan, the handsome stranger caught in a kidnapping and as an accused vampire. I immediately take a liking to Kerry and I can see how she became attracted to Ethan so quickly. The story was great with the "vampire rules" thrown in, twists between truth and lies, love and hate, trust and betrayal. Wonderful story, one of the best I've ever read! A must read! Kudos to the author!!

4.0 out of 5 stars an ordinary night in the extraordinary, 6 April 2006
Two complete strangers, one long night and a hint of something not quite natural and you get this fantastic book. All the action takes place in one night, the authors pace is relentless just like her characters your exhausted by the end of the book. But when it finally gets there you want to rewind the whole book, like a good film, and rewatch it. Immersing yourself in the smells and the sights. Terrific.
Kerry didn't expect a simple trip to the launderettte's to retrieve her brothers teddy to be quite so eventful. She didn't expect to get cuaght up in a kidnap scenario and have to rescue some random guy called Ethan and so begins her extremely long night. Kerry finds herself caught up in a night of bizarreness that she just cant seem to shake off. And what is it with Ethan? What's so strange about him.....?

5.0 out of 5 stars trust gone wrong, 3 Jan 2004
By A Customer
kerry nowicki didn`t realise doing a favor for her kid brother would go so wrong.she thought she was doing the right thing helping out ethan bryne, not seeing in the future it would put herself and her family in danger. The characters in this were excellent-Ethan was the best;you never knew when he was lying or telling the truth.Everything in this was well put and described. This is a book that needs a sequl. So if you like vampires,romance,action and danger you`ll love this.
