The saga of Macey Gardella continues in the second volume of award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Colleen Gleason’s Roaring Trilogy...

But when the worst comes to pass, and the powerful Venator alliance of Sebastian Vioget, Chas Woodmore, and Macey herself stumble in the face of the insidious evil of Nicholas Iscariot, even Macey has cause to question her motives and decisions.

From award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Colleen Gleason...the final installment in the Macey Gardella: Vampire Hunter trilogy, set in 1920s Chicago. Macey Gardella Denton has loved, lost, and made difficult, heart-wrenching decisions, but now she must stay strong as she battles the most malevolent of evils--the horrifying Nicholas Iscariot. But even facing down the most terrifying of all undead is nothing compared to the terror happening in her personal life, with her father showing up after a thirteen year absence. Macey can wield a stake as well as Victoria Gardella, but when it comes to those she loves...can she balance her heart with what's right? ---------- Praise for the Gardella Vampire Hunters: "Sophisticated, sexy, surprising!” —J.R.

She creates a chilling world with the perfect atmosphere of fear and sexual tension." —Romantic Times "Gleason keeps upping the ante with each novel, weaving the characters around her readers with each engaging conversation and narrative, every stage set of all the appropriate gothic gloom and melting beauty." —Book Fetish "...Above all, the writing is what recommends this book most. Gleason's writing is sharp and taut, which makes for excellent action sequences, and a plot that travels quickly from the start. The writing strength alone gives me ample reassurance that this potentially plot-heavy series is in the right hands. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment." —Smart Bitches, Trashy Books The complete Gardella Vampire Hunters series is as follows: VICTORIA The Rest Falls Away Rises the Night The Bleeding Dusk When Twilight Burns As Shadows Fade Max Stops the Presses (short story) MACEY / MAX DENTON Roaring Midnight Raging Dawn (short novel) Roaring Shadows Raging Winter (short novel) Roaring Dawn Also related: THE DRACULIA VAMPIRE TRILOGY Dark Rogue Dark Saint Dark Vixen
