About The Book: Release March 2014
Wanted: Royal blood. Bounty: An action packed, sexy, suspenseful tale. After losing her parents to vampires, werewolf Kristina Knight spends her life protecting humans from the bloodsuckers. Saving Darin James from the Truce Brotherhood adds fuel to the vampire coven’s wrath. When Ryant, her former lover, appears under the pretext of protecting her, Kristina isn’t ready to trust him again-especially not after he made his choice clear years ago.
As leader of the vampires, Ryant Starga is driven to protect Kristina not only because of their past connection but because, now, the Soulscapes are out for her blood. If they succeed, the soul demons will rule the Darkworld-and no one will ever be safe. Ryant has a plan to convince Kristina she needs his protection, but it all goes badly awry when, in spite of the years separating them, he’s unable to keep his hands and mind off her-or the human Darin James out of the picture.
With Darin overstepping boundaries, will Kristina and Ryant rekindle their love only to lose it again?
Warning: Vampires, werewolves and humans-oh my!

REVIEW:
Wow !!! A 4 star story
Kristina spends her life fighting vampires after losing her parents. She is a loner and is very guarded. The only man she ever truly loved failed her on an epic scale. And after fifty years of trying to forget him, his back in her life and wanting her help.
Kristina is a bounty hunter and a werewolf, so she is no pushover. But you get the feeling she is lonely, but this is of her own doing. (And her weird collection of bullet casing were an eye opener!!) Ryant is her former lover and a vampire, so was he in some way responsible for her parents death ? (the answer is in the book ) He is the master of a new coven, (he is turning humans into vampires, to fight the war on soulscapes) His feelings for Kristina are complex. He has known they would always be together, a legacy tells of their life together.
Darin is a human caught in the vampire/human/demon war. At first I did think it would be a strange love triangle. But as the story moves along, Darin and Kristina’s relationship evolves, and as for Kristina and Ryant …. The story moves at a steady pace. And there are a few main characters that are pivotal to the story. There are a few twists (and one I TOTALLY didn’t see) and turns. I’m hoping this is the start of a series, I need to see where this adventure takes me.
A story I will gladly read again and again.

Great review Julie this sounds good. I do enjoy a good shifter story
Veri nice review Julie.
Nice review. Sounds like an interesting storyline. Perhaps it is the intro to the series and that is why it felt too rushed…
Very nice review, Julie. Looks like an interesting story.
Thank you, Julie, for the awesome review!!! I’m very pleased that you enjoyed the story. Story two is in the works called Aeon Blood. Characters from book one will be in the story, as will new ones. The sad thing….my laptop is resting beneath a headstone at this moment. When I get the chance I plan to continue to write the series. What do you think of the cover? I helped design it. =)
