Dallas St. John has an interview for the perfect job as an associate attorney and she just knows that it's hers.  She has even spent her rent money for the perfect interview outfit.  So how could she be late, or is she?  Dallas is currently having trouble figuring out what is a dream and what is actually happening, but she is pretty sure that she is kissing a very sexy stranger in an alley instead of heading to the interview she is already late for.  Actions like this are very strange for her as she has always been in control of her life and her passions.Brendan Cromerty is interrupted during an unexpected night of passion by a vision of a woman that he needs to help save.  Not unusual for him, but why tonight of all nights?  He doesn't know her, but she is familiar enough to him that he knows she is one of them. When he tries to go to her he realizes that she has a well-developed power for trans-dimensional shifts.  When he finally gets to her, she is about to do it again and to stop her he does what comes naturally to him - he kisses her and then she disappears before he can find out who she is and where she lives.In order to help her he has to find out who she is and also where she is; Brendan connects using their kiss only to find out their greatest enemy has already infected her.  After he finds her, Brendan explains to Dallas that she is one of a group of people that aren't human, but they aren't quite sure what they are or why they have been placed on earth.  Although his intentions are for the best, he becomes extremely personal when passion explodes between them both outside and inside the human realm.  Unable to give up control and allowing her fear to give the darkness even more of a hold on her, Dallas leaves Brendan.  In order to totally defeat the darkness and to save Dallas, Brendan not only allows the darkness to take him, but also then traps it within him.  Now it is Dallas' turn to sacrifice all for whom she loves.Pisces - Neptune's Lair combines two of my favorite genres - suspense and paranormal, but unlike most paranormal stories you never find out that what type of paranormal you are dealing with which just adds more suspense to the story for me.  Brendan and Dallas are the perfect pair in that they are strong where the other is weak and together they make quite the couple. Their personalities as adults, completely meshed with backgrounds that are not pretty. I loved how Ms. McFalls showed that they each had worries and fears that had to be overcome individually before they are finally free to be together.  The last two chapters gave me tingles and goosebumps and I would have never guessed how the ending came about.  Pisces - Neptune's Lair is a book not to be missed and I hope that Ms. McFalls will treat us with some other astrological sign books.Joreviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
