I loved it! This is the kind of vampire romance I got started on! And I loved the Silhouette Shadows line. They were so good. I shouldn't have waited this long to start this series!

It was a bit meh really. There is some potential but honestly, I wouldn't pay to keep reading the series. The "company" after the vampires was more interesting than the actual vampires, although they employed some very bad men.

Twilight Phantasies is the first book in the Wings in the Night series and this was just such a great way to start off a new series. I just really enjoyed this story and I just didn’t want it to end. I just lost myself in and I just couldn’t get enough of these interesting characters. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this series.

I picked this up as my first book on my new Nook ereader because I somehow got my hands on book 12 in this series and wanted to at least read the first one before reading number twelve. I found it for waaaay to much money online or 2.99 in electronic format...so electronic it was!

Twilight Phantasies is the story of a very special woman named Tamara. Tamara works for a top secret government agency that tracks and studies people with "unusual" abilities. He guardian also works for this agency tracking a vampire named Eric Marquand. Tamara's guardian is quite fanatic in his belief that all vampire's are inherently evil and should be destroyed or made weak so he can study them.

Tamara decides to go ice skating in the middle of the night, she can no longer sleep, and meets the very same man (vampire) that her guardian has been tracking and attempting to capture this whole time. She instantly feels the connection...it's as if their minds were somehow joined.

Needless to say, when her guardian finds out, trouble arises...in many many forms. I throughly enjoyed the story and the characters. The small side plots and characters only brought the main ones to life even more. I've purchased the next couple in the series and I hope they are just as good.

3.5/5

The main character, Tamara, is an idiot. Hard to enjoy the story while she acts like a nieve child and is incapable of sorting out simple clues. Eric, her love interest, doesn't have much of a personality either. His only purpose seemed to be Tamara's yes man.

Story was simple, easy to follow. I just didn't like the shallow characters.

This wasn't a bad beginning to the series, but it wasn't something that was spectacular either. Eric is definately old fashioned in his thinking of "I have to save you", and Tamara is a bit too needy and lost, but that maybe due to the lack of sleep she's getting. There are several open storylines that I hope the author will explore, and I want to know more about Jamey, the Chosen that Tamara is partial to. Book 2 is with Roland, and he has a definate Yummy factor, but again, seems "old worldish", but that could be because he's a vampire.

I love the simple, romantic story line. I just discovered Maggie Shayne and will continue reading her work. She is wonderful!
