Nocturne

In Janet Elizabeth Jones’ Nocturne, Ellory Benedikt is summoned home by a presence that has haunted him for twenty years.

Talisen Davies, distraught at the senseless deaths of her grandma and little sister, strives to complete her grandma’s work on their family history. First, she needs to ascertain what happen to Captain Benedikt over 200 years ago on his wedding night. What she learns about Captain Benedikt, however, will determine both her future and the fate of the Captain's children.

From the moment Ellory sees Talisen, he is drawn to her. Due to who he has become, he is obligated to deceive her or destroy her. At the same time, he only wishes to love her and to know her love. But stalking them is an ancient foe that has grown stronger than Ellory realizes.

Janet Elizabeth Jones deftly portrays the sorrow and heartache of an eternity of night and loneliness. Nocturne is a passionate, poignant tale of undying love and faithfulness. Talisen must face her personal demons or Ellory’s opportunity to return home will be lost. Will she be able to see beyond the fangs to the person? Or will she be blinded by her fear?

Nocturne is a gripping, heartrending, sensual tale of devotion, ardor, and the healing touch of the soul. I could not put it down and I hope that Ms. Jones tells the story of the Alchemist, Shelly, and Meical’s sacrifice very soon.
