My fave is Kar, dark, brooding, dangerous and sexy as hell, he adds that added yummy factor to the story.  Add this steamy read to your bookshelf, you won’t be disappointed.”

Bound By Blood: The Awakening
By C. H. Scarlett
Dark Roast Press
ISBN: pending
Release Date: February 14, 2009
eBook ~ 714 pages
Erotic Dark Fantasy/Paranormal
BUY NOW

“Mystery and magic in a perfect mesh.”

It has been drilled into Samanthra that a prophesy claims that if Samanthra
is Awakened, then horrors will unfold upon herself, her sisters and the
world. But are the prophesies true, or is she being manipulated? When
Darius, Father of the Blood, is set free he comes to Samanthra and her
Awakening begins. Can she stop the Awakening? Is Darius her true Awakener, or
is he manipulating her for his own purposes and for what she can do?

I love the way that C. H. Scarlett has incorporated pagan and wiccan lore
into her alternate universe, making it plausible that we could have come
from such a place. Although the plot is complicated and a bit confusing at first,
the story draws you in and keeps you there. In her debut book, C. H. Scarlett
has done a wonderful job. Her characters are believable and full of
surprises. Her alternate worlds are full of mystery and fairy tale magic.
It’s not often that you’ll find such a perfect mesh of all the magic and
lore of our past. Vampires, werewolves, shape shifters, witches; this book
has it all. I look forward to the next book in this series.
