Description
Moon Called

  • road cut into the side of a hill that overlooked the town, and for thirty years, doctors, lawyers, and CEOs had been building their four-thousand-square-foot homes on the steeply sloped lots; the vampires had been there first163
  • end of the main street, a smaller gravel road broke off and cut between a pair of two-story brick edifices; looked almost like it might be a driveway but continued past the houses and into the undeveloped area behind them163
  • a quarter mile through usual eastern Washington scrub; then up over a small ridge that was just large enough to hide a two-story, sprawling hacienda surrounded by an eight-foot wall163
  • the road came down the hill and limited the view of the house through the double, wrought-iron gates163
  • the sweeping Spanish arches that graced the sides of the building disguised the scarcity of windows164
  • ground leveled for parking just outside the walls164
  • the front gates were large enough to drive a semi through them166
  • around the side is a small, open door in the wall for secondary access166
  • building is surrounded by undeveloped scrub outside the gates; the interior grounds were elaborate; the grass, dark and luxurious; roses in protected areas near the house, mums; formal French-style garden, organized beds and meticulous grooming166
  • gardens look odd next to the Spanish-style adobe167
  • grapevines lined the wall; bare in the winter167
  • cobbled path goes past a swimming pool around the corner of the house to a broad swath of lawn; across the lawn is a two-story guesthouse almost a third the size of the main house167
  • guesthouse has an entry hall decorated aggressively in the colors and textures of the American Southwest, complete with clay pots and kachina dolls167
  • the decor was overwhelmed by the smell of mostly unfamiliar flowers and herbs rather than the scents of the desert167
  • potpourri didn't disguise the smell of old leather and rotting fabrics167
  • past the entry hall through the soaring ceilings of a living room into the sitting room hall; half again the size of the biggest room in Mercy's trailer; cozy; not Southwest themed but the colors were still warm earth tones167
  • comfortable; soft fluffy furniture167
  • matching chairs; a love seat168
  • a large window dominated the room168
  • upright piano with a bench tucked into one corner of the room169
  • out of the sitting room through the house to an alcove sheltering a wrought-iron spiral staircase173
  • the stairway went deeper than a basement; small lights on the cement wall surrounded the stairs; they're motion lights; they allow one to see the stairs—travelling down a cement tube; lights not bright enough do more more173
  • fresh air wafted out of small vents that kept the air moving173
  • it goes down twenty five feet from the surface173
  • the stairway ended in a pad of cement; absolute darkness; smell of bleach173
  • motion sensitive fluorescent lights revealed a empty room with cement floors, walls and ceilings; sterile empty effect173
  • through the room and into a narrow tunnel that sloped gently upward; steel doors without knobs or handles lined the tunnel at even intervals; things moving behind the doors174
  • tunnel took a narrow turn, the floor became a steep upward set of twelve stairs that ended in a room with curved plaster walls, wooden floors, and soft lighting; directly opposite the stairway was mocha leather couch with curves that echoed the walls174
  • elevator hidden behind one of the doors in the corridor; leads to the main house
  • opens into a kitchen; bright lights and bird's-eye maple cabinetry, creamy stone countertops; no windows but a clever use of mirrors and backlit stained-glass panels to make up for the lack184
  • next to the refrigerator was an outside door that leads to the manicured lawn184
  • the houses are connected by tunnels184

Blood Bound

  • wrought-iron gates; brightly lit courtyard70
  • huge hacienda-style, adobe house; circular drive70
  • smaller guest house tucked into the backyard70
  • main house front door makes a curious groaning noise70
  • entry way; small sitting room it led into then down the hall; one side of the hall had three doors with arched tops, all closed, but the other side opened into a very large, airy room with a high ceiling and recessed lights71
  • walls cover with brightly colored paintings, some floor to ceiling71
  • walls painted a soft yellow; made it feel bright and cheerful even though no windows71
  • floor was made of dark clay tiles in a variety of reddish browns; light neutral-colored woven rugs scattered about almost at random71
  • three couches, five comfy-looking chairs; coral color southwestern feel, set in a loose semicircle around a large wooden chair71
