Book Blurb
Perfect for fans of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, this intriguing urban fantasy follows the story of Kat Chanter, who discovers that the world she knows is controlled by ancient creatures who feed on blood. And she might just be one of them ...
Lately things have been getting weird for pathology technician Kat Chanter. She's been craving raw meat, and having dreams so realistic they're scary. When she accepts a job offer from the prestigious Hema Castus Research Institute, she hopes she'll have the chance to discover what's wrong with her, but instead, her move to New York thrusts her headlong into a treacherous hidden world, where the wrong move could be fatal . . .
Tarot, witchcraft and astrology all take on a frightening resonance in Dark Child's richly imagined alternative reality where vampiric beings live among us, hidden by magic. Dark romance tangles with paranormal fantasy and page-turning suspense in this enthralling tale of 'dark child' Kat Chanter, half-human and half-vampire, who has woken an ancient prophecy and must face a formidable destiny.
Dark Child was originally released in serial form.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Kat knows that she is different. She always has and wonders if she isn’t like her missing father. Her guilt over his leaving still plagues her. A wolf that she befriended ages ago is the only thing keeping her going and making her differences bearable. She has to hide her ability to run like crazy and not even breathe hard and her nose for blood.
Kat’s life becomes crazy when she is thrown into the confusing world of vampires, shapeshifters and government conspiracies.
Kat is an awesome character. She has just enough toughness to get her through everything that the author throws at her. She tends to bounce back pretty quickly throughout the storyline. She encounters some great characters along the way which made reading this book fun. You can’t not root for the good guys.
The author raises so many questions during Kat’s adventure, but does a great job answering most of them then leaving just enough unanswered to keep you reading.
This paranormal book will deliver a great story. You don't get everything tied up nicely at the end of the book as you will see, but a great story nonetheless. My advice though is to read the series in order. This book series is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers. I give it a 4 out of 5.
