ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 18,2018

A kiss on New Year’s Eve is supposed to be lucky…but a vampire bite? That’s not exactly something a woman dreams of getting. And when Lark Kinsley gets bit, all bets are off. She stakes her date, runs into the night, and tries to put the whole nightmare behind her.

Only she can’t.

Because she immediately runs into trouble—trouble in the form of a tall, dark, and deadly sexy vampire prince named Devereaux. He claims that he’s there to help her, but she’s not buying his story. The guy is no Prince Charming. After all, Prince Charming isn’t supposed to come with fangs and an appetite for blood. But Devereaux says that he’s been waiting centuries for her. That she is meant to rule with him. Obviously, he’s wrong. And possibly insane. She’s not meant to be the queen of the vamps. No matter what Devereaux says.

But he’s not the only one after her. Paranormal monsters are coming out of the woodwork. And the bite that she got? It’s making her feel strange. Hungry. Her self-control is shredding, and Lark knows she’s changing. She just doesn’t know what she’ll become.

The new year won’t go out with a bang…it will end with a bite.

REVIEW : MIDNIGHT BITE by Cynthia Eden is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, paranormal, romance novella focusing on advertising specialist Lark Kinsley, and vampire prince Devereaux.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Lark and Devereaux) MIDNIGHT BITE follows Lark Kinsley on the eve of her twenty-sixth birthday. Lark is all too aware of the supernatural. As the daughter of a ‘monster hunter’, Lark chose not to follow in her mother’s footsteps but the repercussions of her mother’s career have followed our heroine for all of her life. Unaware of a secret deal made between the supernatural community, Lark has no idea that at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, she will become the number one target of the paranormal world. Enter Prince Devereaux, the man with whom she will fall in love, but a man who is everything she has been taught to destroy.

MIDNIGHT BITE is a fast paced story about a vampire willing to do anything to protect the woman he has waited for all of his life, a woman who is the prize is a decades old war between the supernatural and the hunter; a woman completely unaware that she is more than meets the eye. Lark Kinsley was taught to hate the paranormal beings who inhabit the world but falling in love with the prince of the vampires is completely unexpected with benefits that pull our heroine into a life she was about to embrace. The premise is entertaining and engaging; the romance is a passionate and quick to develop; the characters are sassy and colorful. MIDNIGHT BITE is a quick read: pull up a chair and embrace the dark side of happily ever after.
