Melody Johnson Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)
Melody Johnson haucht klassischen Vampirgeschichten neues Leben ein und erforscht das komplexe Zusammenspiel von Gut und Böse in menschlicher und unmenschlicher Natur. Ihre Vampire nehmen, ebenso wie ihre menschlichen Charaktere, eine einzigartige Stellung in der moralischen Grauzone ein, was für ihre Heldinnen unerwartete Herausforderungen schafft. Johnson verschiebt konsequent die Grenzen des Genres und führt originelle Konzepte wie Nachtblut für die Verwandlung und furchterregende Tagesformen ein, die ihren Geschichten einen frischen Biss verleihen. Abseits des dunklen Übernatürlichen überschreitet sie Genres und verbindet ihre Elemente mit Science-Fiction-Romanzen, um zu erforschen, was Heimat und Familie wirklich bedeuten.

An intolerable order. A desperate charade. A deadly secret. Before Commander Torek Renaar can return to active duty, he’s ordered to purchase an animal companion to help relieve his PTSD symptoms. But having been a caretaker for and lost a loved one, keeping even one little human alive is a challenge he feels doomed to fail. It doesn’t help that his animal companion is the newest, most exotic breed on the market, demanding constant attention, daily grooming, and delicate handling. If she doesn’t die first in his incompetent care, she’ll be the death of him. After witnessing the murder of her domestication specialist, Delaney McCormick allows her new owner to treat her like the pet he believes her to be. If anyone suspects she’s more intelligent than a golden retriever, her murder would be next. She endures the humiliation of being washed, the tediousness of being trained to “sit” and “come,” and the intrigue of hearing private conversations. But in Torek’s care, she finds something unexpected on this antarctic planet, something she never had in all her years on Earth while house-hopping between foster families: a home. As companionship grows to love, must Delaney continue the charade, acting like an animal and hiding from the murderer waiting on her misstep? Or can she trust Torek with her secrets, even if the truth threatens everything he holds dear—and both their lives?
