Take a walk on the Wildside with the 3rd book in the series. Goblin King Quede is the vilest villain yet. This book is full of action and suspense. Highly recommended!

In New Orleans on the alternate earth Wildside, courier Lyris is assigned to learn whether Goblin King Quede is also a vampire. She knows how difficult it will prove to get close enough the make the determination so she enlists the help of a half breed stripper Romeo Hart. He agrees as he sees Lyris as a perfect front to hide his cover. He is really Roman Hautecoeur, undercover trying to learn what the evil Quede is plotting.
As Lyris and Romeo work closely together, an attraction between them blossoms. However, Quede¿s spies know why Lyris is in town, but he also is fascinated by the lass who might wants to destroy him. However, danger can come from anywhere as Lyris learns that Quede may want to lovingly kill her and a seemingly immortal hobgoblin threatens her and Romeo but her most dangerous foe is her partner who steals her heart.
The latest Wildside fantasy romance (see TRAVELER) is a terrific tale that makes this alternate realm seems real due to the bantering relationship between the lead duo. Romeo is sort of like a mythical Hans Solo as he is amusing, tough, and sensitive (just don¿t remind him of the last trait). Lyris is an intrepid heroine willing to die if her death means the end of Quede¿s Goblin reign. The support cast brings Wildside further to life so that readers will want to visit the place where Goblins apparently killed JFK.

Goblins are dangerous enough, but what if one of them could make vampiric goblins? That is a chilling reality in the Wildside world where magic reigns supreme and often secretly. The vampire goblin, Quede, comes to Lyris' attention when she investigates the murder of JFK. She can at last prove that goblins killed the president and replaced the vice president with one of their own. Bringing down Quede will force her to work with Romeo Hart, the charming half Pooka with no fear of death who is her partner. ................... New Orleans is exotic and dangerous in any novel, but in the Wildside, it becomes doubly so. Racing to stop a plague that could destroy humanity, Romeo and Lyris will risk their lives, and fall in love. ................... ***** Watch out Anita Blake, the goblins are gaining ground! With every entry in this series, it becomes more fascinating and new depth is added. Characters are a unique shade of grey, not totally good or evil, in many cases. Passion and magic crackle from the pages. You will look forward to the next book, but each one stand alone so well that you are not left hanging between volumes. *****

Overview
Lyris knew all about goblins. She had spent much of her adult life trying to prove one was behind the assassination of JFK. But was Quede the biggest threat in New Orleans, this strange monarch who owned the plantation Toujours Perdrix? Or was the biggest threat Romeo Hart, the fey who laughed at death and quickened Lyris' blood? This courier mission was trouble. No question; Lyris was in danger of losing her life, her soul, or her heart-- and by the time she discovered which, it would be too late.
