I have some good and bad feelings about the book. I'll start with the bad first. This book was very fast paced. I would have enjoyed it more if the author would have slowed things down a bit. For two months the lead character is sad and almost depressed, then she goes to a ball and within two minutes everything in the world is great?? I also wasn't a fan for the ending. I totally understand why author's use cliff hangers, but this just left me with more questions and than answers. Pretty frustrating! Now that the bad things are out of the way, I will say that I thought the concept was very interesting. I couldn't stop thinking about Roger and Jack. I love that each vampire has a were protector! I do hope our lady gets her H.E.A soon, I think she deserves it after everything she goes through!

“Do
you believe in things that go bump in the night?”
At only a few hours old, Angela is left on the steps of
St Paul’s church. Alone in the world, the only link she has to her past is a
pink blanket bearing an emblem with two crossed swords and a snake.
A troubled childhood spent in orphanages
leads to Angela attempting to rebuild her shattered life as an adult. Meeting
the priest who found her eighteen years previously, she gets a job and a
boyfriend, and settles into her new life.
Until she meets Jack.
Drawn to her new boss, she
throws herself into work, feeling an unusual bond with people she hasn’t known
very long.
Angela becomes embroiled in
this new life, feeling a change within herself. A change which isn’t altogether
human. Within this change she finds a terrifying secret…a secret which involves
her past, her present, and definitely her future…
-Author Bio-
I was born in Chatham, Kent in
1970. I now live in Yorkshire with my daughter and our five mad cats.
My first memories of any book
would have been my mother reading The Enormous Turnip. It must have driven her
mad, as it was always our first choice when asked what we should read tonight.
I grew up with the classics;
Little Women, The Railway Children, but it would have been The House That Died
and Bluebeard that I remember wanting to read.
I can remember writing a verse
for the school song, and being chosen as a winner for what was then 3rd year
juniors. I stopped reading so much in my late teens to my mid twenties. Life
seemed to always be too busy for that pile of books I so wanted to read. It was
when I went into hospital to have my daughter, that I had time to read
again--and thankfully I haven’t stopped since.
However, it wasn’t until my
late twenties that I realised I wanted to write. I have spent a few years
trying to complete an online creative writer’s course; without much success,
but it led me to what I am writing now. So never give up if you really want to
write!
I am very influenced by Fantasy
fiction / Horror, most of the books I read are in this genre. I have many
Authors I like to follow; Anne Rice was very influential in the beginning. I
also discovered Laurel K Hamilton and many, many more. I could go on about
different Authors I like to read. However, I will say that this year I have
also discovered there are literally, well, probably thousands of very talented
Indie Authors out there. And a very welcoming and friendly bunch they are too,
but I digress--yes, I get very excited about the subject of books!
I have finished my first novel
called Welcome To The Family, which will be published April 29th 2013. I also
have other novels in the pipeline, Nikki’s Revenge and Protecting The Family,
due out later in the year.
