RED KISSA Gods of Midnight Novel
by Deidre Knight
Signet Eclipse
June 2, 2009
Immortal warrior and Spartan slave River Kassandros has a special gift—the ability to transform into any weapon. But in a recent battle, he was trapped as a dagger, unable to become human again. His one hope of salvation is a mere mortal…
When Emma Lowery beaches her kayak on an uninhabited island off the coast of Savannah, an ancient dagger seems to call out to her. Compelled by dark forces, Emma draws blood with his blade, freeing River. Now he’s stronger, angrier—and exudes more sensuality than Emma can resist.
But a sinister power wants to claim River’s destiny, and his precarious freedom. The pair must join the Spartan warriors to fight Ares himself. But can they face sacrificing their love to protect humankind from the war god’s demonic plan?

Thank you Nalini. Hmmmm....interesting :) Must investigate further!
*scribbles note to self*
Interesting concept, turning into weapons. If he turns into a gun does he also turn into ammunition? If he does, and is fired, what hapens to the part of his body that was the bullet? That could be tragic.
May have to look into this book...
Red Fire was the start of The Gods of Midnight series and was great!! The Parallell series was good but The Gods of Midnight is even better!!
I read this book over the weekend. I liked it alot more than I did Red Fire.
I also think the sub-plot she has going between Nikos and a certain other character is fascinating. I dont want to give it away if you havent read the book yet. But I will say this: I think Deidre's writing of this portion of the storyline is excellent. I'm so dieing to know if she intends on giving Nikos his own book.
Oh boy, I can't wait to pick this one up. Might have to today.
I have the first two books in this series in the bag that I am taking to the hospital while my youngest is in for kidney/bladder surgery...
