WOW--A Two Book Weekend

This weekend I cleaned my house, put together the new storage cabinet I have really been needing (it finally went on sale), and still managed to get in two new books.      

                                     

As always, I've got to share them with you guys:

 

Darkness Rises  (Immortal Guardians)   

  By Dianne Duvall                                    

  My Rating:           

 Overall Story:  **** 3 out of 5 Stars

 Heat Index:      ****3 out of 5 Stars

 

Krysta Linz is a mortal who hunts vampires with her brother's help.  She has always worked alone and somehow she has managed to survive.  Etienne is an Immortal Guardian who is amazed with Krista's hunting skill and her body.   He knows she is meant for him, but  convincing a mortal to join the Guardians is almost as difficult as having his group accept a moral and her brother.
This was a story that never got dull.  Both Krysta and Etienne are strong willed characters, and just their natures made it interesting from start to finish.

Dianne Duvall has really started a great story, that only starts to let us get to know the Immortal Guardians.  It leaves you wanting to read more.  I 'm sure this book will  be the start of a great series. She is a fairly new writer with only about 4 books available at major stores. Although she is new, she is off to a great start and I know that I will be reading and reviewing more of her books.  Dianne loves writing Romance, Paranormal Romance and Vampire Romance books (my kind of writer).  She credits Stephen King as a strong influence along with "too many other writers to name".  You can join her "Street Team" (fan club) on Facebook. and find lots of contests and give-aways at her her blog  or find out more about her book tours at her web site.

 

 

You can get your copy of  Darkness Rises at Barnes & Noble the paperback lists for about new and about $7.99 used.  The Nook ebook sells for $4.99.  The Kindle ebook (at Amazon) sells for 3.99 while the paperback sells for $7.19 new.
