"wild paranormal romantic thriller"
Action adventure movie star Gina Bliss has just completed
her latest movie as always doing her own stunts when her
agent informs her she has been invited to compete on a
reality TV show, SURVIVING DEMON ISLAND, which she
accepts. On a boat in the middle of the ocean heading to
an isolated island, Gina meets the producer Lou, her five
opponents and obnoxious technical advisor Derek, who makes
it plain he expects the actress to go home first On the isle, Derek and Gina bet on physical conditioning
in which they trek through the jungle; near the finish
line, Gina trips Derek to win the contest. On a trek in
the jungle, they are attacked by stuntmen pretending to be
demons; Gina and two teammates defeat their opponents. On the second day, real demons attack Gina's team. She
leads the counterattack just before Derek arrives at the
scene. They win the fight, but know this was real. Lou
explains that there is no survivor show, demons are real,
and he, as the Keeper of the Realm of Light, is seeking
new recruits. Lou further explains that demons evolve and
live in major cities, but not sure why they are here on
this remote island. As they struggle to survive, Derek
and Gina fall in love, but a shocker awaits both of them. This is a wild paranormal romantic thriller that has
enough tongue in cheek to make for a fine action adventure
tale. The relationship between the lead couple is
terrific and complex while the strong support cast
including the teammates and the demons enhance the thrills
and chills of a fun story line with a terrific surprising
final twist. Though why Lou selected a celebrity like
Gina even if he knows she is skilled when he avoids
publicity sees odd, Jaci Burton provides a delightful
Beauty vs. the Beast tale with the hero's brother up next. Harriet Klausner

sexy stubble, he's arousing every bad-boy fantasy she's ever
had . . . and testing her survival skills to the max.
Martial arts, jungle warfare—Derek's done it all. But
his latest mission is more dangerous than a stick of
dynamite. Try telling that to the sexy, adrenaline-pumped
actress who's got his libido racing off the charts. As the
heat rises between them and real-life violence erupts,
suddenly Derek and Gina are on the run . . . and when they
uncover a secret so explosive it could blow the lid off
