ISBN: 9780843962970
Release Date: April 27, 2010
from the author's site: 

With radiant, snow white skin and hair, Percy Parker was a beacon for Fate. True love had found her, in the tempestuous form of Professor Alexi Rychman. But her mythic destiny was not complete. Accompanying the ghosts with which she alone could converse, new and terrifying omens loomed. A war was coming, a desperate ploy of a spectral host. Victorian London would be overrun.  Yet, Percy kept faith. Within the mighty bastion of Athens Academy, alongside The Guard whose magic shielded mortals from the agents of the Underworld, she counted herself among friends. Wreathed in hallowed fire, they would stand together, no matter what dreams or nightmares—may come.  

my thoughts: 

Leanna Renee Hieber has very quickly become one of my favorite new voices in Paranormal Romance. Percy is such a sweet, gentle, and loving character and she really comes into her own in Darkly Luminous. Alexi behaves like his overbearing self but Percy quickly finds her own voice despite this. 

All of the mystery and suspense seen in Percy's first story are back. The Guard may think now that they've found Prophecy they can take a rest, little do they know that the real battle is just beginning. 

Everyone from book 1, The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker, returns and I was so glad to see them again. I just love everyone in these books and I'm really looking forward to October's A Midwinter Fantasy and Leanna's short story therein. I don't know if we'll see more of Percy and the rest of The Guard after that, but I know I'm looking forward to whatever Ms. Hieber releases.
