Raife is "dueling" with a friend when he encounters a black cat and hears a female voice calling to him. He stops the duel and deserts his friend to follow the cat, for the voice is issuing a most tempting offer. He follows the cat to a shop and encounters Yvette, a reincarnated witch. The attraction is mutual and scorching! Now the couple must see to the destruction of the vampire who turned Raife, but she is very powerful. Can they do it?

Descendents of Darkness recounts the trials and tribulations of a group of friends ­ vampires ­ in their search for their life-mates and the unusual women who are destined for these men. Ms. LaCroix has done a wonderful job of seamlessly weaving the erotic stories of these four couples together. If you like vamps, werewolves, witches, and lots of scorching sex, I highly recommend Descendents of Darkness! I'd love to see another book with Vincente and Damon's stories.
