Book Blurb
Knowledge Changes Everything…
Hoodoo-influenced Southern Louisiana seems like the perfect place for Camille to escape her abusive past and dysfunctional family. She doesn’t expect to fall in love with the handsome Gavin Devereaux and plummet into the world of Amaranth, a place of exile for reformed vampires.
Wrestling to escape a deadly ex-boyfriend while giving Gavin a chance, Camille is confronted with decisions that threaten not only her life, but the lives of her inhuman friends she has come to love. Entangled in her friends’ quest for freedom, she dives into their realm and faces the threats of Amaranth’s ruler—the mother of all vampires—and her own inner demons.
Now Camille must decide whether she will derail her life and make the ultimate sacrifice for the monsters that interrupted her bumpy path back to sanity—what she still wants so desperately—or escape with Gavin before it’s too late for both of them.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Camille Hart
is visiting Paris for her birthday alone.
She left her abusive relationship behind. By chance she meets Gavin Devereaux at a
Café. He encourages her to move there.
A year later
she is living in Louisiana working at a bookstore and trying to get away from
Andrew. She is disgusted with
herself. She left one abusive
relationship in Seattle for another one here.
Andrew scares her but she needs to get away from him. Her friend Audrey visits and is livid when
she finds out. Camille needs to go to
the police. She promises to when Audrey
leaves. Relieved with a plan Camille
comes face to face with Gavin again in her bookstore. She is surprised to see him. She accepts an invitation to dinner.
The instant
connection she felt in Paris is still there.
They continue to spend time together and Camille is falling hard. However, Andrew confronts her when she is
with Gavin, everything changes. Things
aren’t what they seem. A new world is
opened to her as her life is now in danger.
This is the
first book in a trilogy. I love how
Gavin and Camille met. It was comical
and sweet. The author brings them back
together at a great time for Camille. He
is exactly what she needs.
Camille as a
character was probably my least favorite.
I prefer strong women as my heroines.
She was not one, in my opinion.
She avoided situations instead of confronting them head on. She was also more dramatic than I like. Her reactions resulted in eye rolls from me.
The author
has her angry and judgmental once she knows what is really going on. Then she takes it upon herself to get
involved without really understanding what is going on. I really wanted to shake her.
I liked the
relationship she had with Gavin. He was
sigh-worthy when it came to his attention to her. He isn’t what he seems which is
intriguing. The author keeps giving
subtle hints as the story progresses until the secret comes out. The secret wasn’t what I expected but I liked
the story even more when all was revealed.
It was a pretty good read. I give
it a 4 out of 5.
