"Exhilarating paranormal romantic suspense thriller"
She made a youthful error that cost her future; her two
half-brothers taking over instead. When an explosion
rocked that sector killing her two vampiric siblings,
vampire Fleur Dumont vows to learn the truth because she
knows that she should have been her left dead. B-Ops humans Dain Reston worries that the peace amongst
the three dominant sentient species has been blown part
with that blast shattering the uneasy peace in which the
vampires owns the skies; the humans the earth; and the
werewolves the underground. While Fleur continues her
quest, Dain tries to keep war from happening. Their
objectives soon merge as the human and the vampire run
from their hunger for one another, but combine their
resources to attempt to uncover the identity of the
soulless one who devastated the fragile calm. CRIMSON CITY is the exhilarating opening paranormal
romantic suspense thriller that will have the audience on
the edge of their seat wondering if the star-crossed
heroes can avert a cross-species war. The story line is
action-packed, but the key to the tale is Liz Maverick's
ability to insure her prime players seem genuine in a
realistic setting. Fans will believe in werewolves and
vampires and want more fantasy tales set in the Maverick
universe. Harriet Klausner
