My Review

This series started with two young people in love. When Joshua went missing, Remy was inconsolable. She set out to find him and when she did both of their worlds changed forever. Joshua was now a vampire and she and the twins he hadn’t known about had no place in his world.

In the second book of this series, Joshua and Remy are together again and multiple plots put them and their twins in danger.

Now we get to the last book, the end of this awesome series. It’s always exciting and bittersweet when you read the last book. You can’t wait to see how it ends but you’re sad to say goodbye to the beloved characters and their world.

In case you haven’t met these vampires before I feel I should explain them a bit. They are as human as us in their love, loyalty, and struggles to survive. yet, once turned, they change. They have no trouble feeding on humans. They don’t just prey on the evil. They choose their dinner, feed until full, and dispose of the bodies with no thought about that person. Who they were, if they had loved ones.

They sometimes appeared cold and distant in their actions. This didn’t make them monsters to me. It actually made them more believable, which I appreciated. I also had no problem becoming attached to them.

Remy and Joshua love each other as much as any human can. Their devotion and adoration for their twins, Aidan and Ashley, is perhaps even more powerful, as they are predators and protect them like a momma bear would. Other members of the coven have loving relationships also.

There are the bad apples though, just like the humans. Vampires that relish the hunt, toy with the humans before feeding. And the ones who don’t hesitate to kill other vampires. To take what they have.

This is what is coming for them. Joshua and Remy, Samir and Jakki, Pavel and Iskra, and the rest of the coven. Liam, a vampire created by accident, has plans to destroy them, to take what is theirs. And he is creating an army of fresh vampires to kill them all.

This is just the tip of the iceberg with the story.

Josh and Remy have their hands full with the twins, Aidan and Ashley, half vampire and half human. They are unique and developing mutiple gifts. Intelligent and fast growing, they are small weapons in their own. A decision will have to be made whether to use them in the battle to come.

And the worst thing possible has happened. There is a traitor in their midst. Goes by the name of Phoenix. And this traitor has been sharing with Liam and his coven plans to their compound and security systems.

There are kidnappings, deaths, and distrust racing through this story.  You become immersed in this world of vampires, you care about them or hate them accordingly.  And the more you come to care, the more hurt and enraged you become.

I knew not everyone would survive the final battle, but I felt so bad when the deaths were revealed. One in particular had me near tears. This character was very important and I wonder if there is a story to be written there.

Carlie wrapped up her series in style. Lots of intrigue, action, and dramatic scenes. I couldn’t have asked for more.

5 Stars

One bite started it all . . .

Joshua, Remy, and the twins are settled in their new life. However, life doesn’t always run smoothly. An argument between Becky and her twin causes unforeseen circumstances, an admission by Samir almost costs him his life, and the traitor provides critical information to Liam. But who is it?

As Jakki’s visions begin to focus on the turncoat’s activities, a member of the coven disappears, and others find themselves endangered.

And when Liam’s coven attacks, who will endure?

Fate continues to toy with mortals and immortals alike, and as more hearts descend into darkness, can they overcome the dangers they face and survive?

Broken Souls

Primani #4

by Laurie Olerich

Dark Urban Fantasy Romance

Published on September 2014

This is the first standalone book in the Primani series. It’s a dark romantic suspense that layers a decades-old murder with chilling demon possession on top of two broken people who must somehow heal wounds too deep to see the light of day.

Stalked by evil… Psychic Rori Austin’s life is over. She just doesn’t know it yet. Suffering from recurring nightmares and terrifying fugues, she’s hanging on by a thread. When she blacks out and wakes up in 1969, she knows she’s out of control. Broke and alone in the city that never sleeps, she’s desperate to find someone who can hold back the darkness in her mind. When gorgeous Declan shows up out of nowhere, she’s thrilled until he starts asking questions she has no intention of answering.

Haunted by guilt… Declan Manning is a ruthless killer and a renowned healer. Demons fear him. Humans love him. Life is good. The last thing he needs is a human woman. After saving Rori’s life, he walks away but can’t forget the fear in her exotic eyes. It haunts him, dredging up memories better left buried deep. Intrigued by her secrets, he uncovers the horrifying truth: She’s marked for Hell, and her time is almost up.
