Product Description
Product Description
In bookshop specializing in rare volumes, an avid fan of horror fiction seizes a tome too valuable and too incredible to fathom. In the end, the man was too curious to live. . . .
A few miles away, in a Manhattan brownstone, another man learns about the explosion that left a gaping hole in the fabric of reality. Colin–he has no other name–has been an unrelenting warrior against the dark, the demonic, and the damned. A man who has angels at his side and hell staring him in the face, he has devoted his life to solving magical crimes and tracking down–and neutralizing–the perpetrators of those crimes, human and nonhuman alike. Now Colin is about to team up with a beautiful Native American a long way from home and a tough NYPD detective who seems to be immune to magic. Together, in a funhouse of evidence and apparitions, they are chasing a killer and untangling a tale that leads from the infamous Vlad the Impaler to a dead twentieth-century occult author and his gorgeous daughter–who is as seductive as the devil himself.
Mr. Twilight combines the mystical and the mysterious, the supernatural and the primitive, in a rich, steamy brew of otherworldly adventure.

Fantastic!, Oct 5 2006
By Michelle E. Dockrey "vixy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mr. Twilight (Mass Market Paperback)
I couldn't put this book down!
Part magic realism, part urban fantasy, with more than a passing nod to Lovecraft and his ilk, but not too much for the horror-squeamish. It's got a whole lot of what always draws me to Charles de Lint, and I think de Lint fans would enjoy it. It also shares elements with the Magic Time series: parallel narratives, separate stories that gradually come together, and the gradual reveal of an overall picture that's bigger than you imagined.
Mages, shamans, angels, demons, historical figures, fictional monsters, and rifts in reality. Who could ask for anything more?
Well, actually, I could. Because it's the first in a trilogy. More please!

LOVED the characters and intriguing plot...some great mystery and horror here, as well as a dash of romance. I also very much enjoyed the dark humour. Looking forward to following these characters in future books.
