REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY OF DARKLANDS BY D. BURGESS (INT)

Do you like paranormal romance novels? Then Darklands: A Vampire's Tale (Volume 1) is right up your alley. The novel is full of adventure,romance and of course your typical blood lusting vampire. I have to warn you that this book is only suitable for the adult reader due to the erotic and sometimes violent scenes in the novel.

About the Book-

On Halloween night, twenty years ago, college student Susan Archer watched as her beloved twin brother was brutally murdered at the hands of a stranger she invited into their home. Still haunted by the guilt of that night, Susan is now a tough but bitter cop in a nowhere town, trying as best she can to lead a normal life. When she is nearly killed during a wild shoot-out, she realizes she is not as strong as she first thought. Fearing a breakdown, she flees the confines of her safe boyfriend and familiar surroundings to find salvation in the arms of “Deathwalker” Devin McCree—the very man who killed her brother. But things aren’t always what they seem and she quickly realizes Devin was not the monster she originally thought, but a kind of guardian angel instead. On the run from a crazed Nazi vampire-hunter named Kasper, she and Devin must find a way to endure the dreary urban landscape of a dying metropolis and escape Kasper’s wrath. “Darklands: a vampire’s tale” is a sexy and violent tale of survival, bloodlust and two people grasping to the edge of immortality while trying to hang on the last shreds of their humanity. “Darklands: a vampire’s tale” is the first volume in the Darklands Vampire series.

My Thoughts-

 I have always loved Gothic and vampire novels. It was an easy a quick read and I was drawn into the story. Devon and Susan have all of the typical vampire qualities (no sunlight, super strength and immortality) but I noticed a little humanity in Susan. I did not like all of the violence in the story but I realized that it was important to have it in the storyline. There were a few unanswered questions that I hope will be covered in the second book of the series. I did notice a few misspelled words but that did not prevent me from finishing the book. I look forward to reading book two in the series and I hope that Ms. Burgess continues to write in the future.
