I know I've been completely inactive on here for a while, but I wanted to share with ya'll that I just had the opportunity to read an ARC by J.K. Beck, whose work I've enjoyed under the name Julie Kenner (author of The Good Ghoul's Guide and the Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom series). This book was COMPLETELY different from those (perhaps that explains the different author name?). I just got done reading it and wanted to share my review with you (especially since stupid Amazon isn't letting me put it on there, probably just because it hasn't actually been released yet. Picky, picky!)
In this dark and sexy read, attorney Sara Constantine is thrilled with her promotion—until she finds out that she must now prosecute vampires and werewolves. The first defendant she’ll be trying to put away? Lucius Dragos, the sexy stranger with whom she recently shared an explosive night of ecstasy.
When Lucius kisses a beautiful woman sitting next to him at the bar, he’s hoping only to avoid the perceptive gaze of the man he’s planning to kill. But what starts as a simple kiss ignites into an all-consuming passion. Charged with murder, Luke knows that Sara is determined to see him locked away—unless he can convince her that he’s not a monster. And that might mean making the ultimate sacrifice.
Although lacking the humor I usually look for in this sort of story, it was still an enjoyable trip into a dark paranormal underworld and had twists at the end that I didn't see coming! |
