Praise for Twilight Forever Rising:
"Breathtaking imagery! Lena Meydan drew me into her world and held me there. Her words are spellbinding!"
--Sherrilyn Kenyon, New York Times bestselling author of Silent Truth
“Addictive, lyrical, peopled with vivid personalities and volatile plotting, Twilight Forever Rising is an engagingly well-written, satisfying blending of vampires, magic, and brilliant terror. Be prepared to read it in one sitting!”
--P.N. Elrod, author of The Vampire Files
“The plethora of vampire novels on bookstore shelves is daunting and discovering a must-read is finding the literary needle in the haystack. That's why Lena Meydan is such a treasure. Her prose is luscious: stylish, cultured, funny, tragic, and at the same time weaving an intricate, action-packed story saturated with love, death and power-struggles. Twilight Forever Rising is supernatural literature at its best, in the tradition of Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley. . . . You'll not find a better modern vampire read.”
--Nancy Kilpatrick, author of Power of the Blood and editor of Evolve: Vampire Stories of the New Undead
Product Description
Darel Ericson of the Dahanavar clan is a rarity among his vampire brethren: he’s an empath, strong enough to occasionally read thought as well as emotion. For centuries, his power has given the Dahanavar a significant advantage against the machinations of the other vampire families, an advantage which makes Darel both a powerful tool and a highly visible target.
Fortunately for Darel, it is more useful for the heads of the other clans to maintain the centuries-long peace between the houses than to remove him. But, the cunning and violent head of the House of Nachterret is tired of the truce, and of hiding his presence in the world. The Nachterret would like nothing more than have free reign over the helpless human cattle upon which they feed.
Darel, and the human woman he loves, become central to the Nachterret’s scheme to plunge the Houses into all out war. Darel is ultimately forced to face the question: is one young woman’s life too high a price to pay for peace?

A fun read, Feb 18 2011
By Laurie Richards - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twilight Forever Rising (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It's fairly well-written (and I'm assuming translated) and the primary characters are reasonably interesting. Since vampires are a fairly common theme in fiction these days, I have to say that I liked some of the treatment of the vampires...reasonably different (they don't sparkle and they aren't emo). I'll definitely keep my eyes out for more books in this series. There were a few things that bothered me...things in the traditional vampire tales that don't matter in the book (they can see their reflection in mirrors). I like that although Darel is an empath and likes how alive humans are, he doesn't whine about being immortal. I also like the different points of views. I just don't think it's quite a five star book...it was a bit weak...I can't even explain how, but it is definitely worth picking up.

super translation of a Russian vampire thriller, Oct 17 2010
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twilight Forever Rising (Paperback)
In 2004, a prime reason the Dahanavar vampire clan is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, of the ruling ten bloodsucker families is the unnatural skills of Darel even with each brood have all sorts of mages and paranormal aptitudes. He is an extraordinary empath who can read emotion and at times thoughts. Thus his brood knows ahead time what their rivals are plotting although for centuries there has been an uneasy peace as the various clans enjoy mutual prosperity not overt hostility.However the feral chieftain Miklosh of the House of Nachterret believes his rivals are weak settling for shadows. The chief wants world domination, but step one is to eliminate Darel before he learns of the nefarious multifaceted plot. Once the mind reader is dead, the clans will fall next and then the rest of the sentient races especially the human sustenance will follow as he believes vampires are the highest step on the food chain and Nachterret are the acme of them all. The key to destroy Darel is through Lenore, the human female he cherishes.
This is a super translation of a Russian vampire thriller in which the Meydan world of competing vampire clans to include special paranormal ones comes across as genuine. Darel is the focus of the first Vampire Clans saga as Nachterret knows he must be murdered, but to do so Malevolent Miklosh needs a specific expendable human pawn. The relationship between Lenore and Darel seems undeveloped especially as this is the catalyst behind what the hero's actions are and what happens between the Ten vampire clans as manipulated by Miklosh.

Must Read!, Jan 1 2011
By Gail Siuba - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Twilight Forever Rising (Paperback)
This singularly is the best vampire book I have read. The characters are complex; the story evolves smoothly into the politics of the vampire clans, while giving us some history into their origins.Lena Meydan has created a complex world, but has made it a smooth read. It was like watching a movie fly across the pages.I was left wanting more; more about Darel, empath and part of the Dahanavar Clan as the central character, more about Chris, the head of the Cadavercitan Clan, more of Miklosh Balza head of the Nachterret Clan and of course the other clan masters. The intrigue is first class and the story kept me reading and wanting more. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys vampires and a first rate urban fantasy.
