"Mindful of Romeo and Juliet starring in Angel"
Instead of angels residing in the city, humans, werewolves
and vampires live in shaky peace together though both
sides loathe the other. Still each species adheres to the
truce by staying away from their adversary. No one dares
cross the line to befriend the enemy as the friend of my
foe is my enemy too even if they are our blood. Though "sufferers" of lycanthropy are banned by law to
work in restaurants, Keeli Maddox the werewolf does
anyway. She hates the grease, but is thankful to have
employment as the fur bearers cannot obtain work even when
vacancies exist. She also fears the growing violence
between her people and the vampires that have placed the
third race the humans in the crosshairs. Thus Keeli
Maddox is hiding during a food fur inspection when she
gets involved with an incident that leads to her about to
rip a man's throat open until shockingly a vampire
intercedes. Keeli and Michael are attracted to one
another, but she is a wolf and he is a fang. Mindful of Romeo and Juliet starring in Angel, A TASTE OF
CRIMSON makes the co-living of three distinct yet similar
species (the colors of blood and money are the same) seem
so genuine. The story line is action-packed, but clearly
driven by the star-crossed protagonists who know they have
found their soulmate, but to be with that person breaks
society's biggest taboo. Neither Michael nor Keeli will
find any supporters as they fall in love. Marjorie M. Liu
writes a fabulous paranormal romantic thriller that will
grip the audience from the moment the lead duo meet for
the first time. Harriet Klausner

SummaryLos Angeles is no longer the City of Angels; dark things
haunt its streets - dark, restless things. Bodies have
been found, and the tentative peace between humans,
vampires and werewolves teeters on the brink of collapse.
Keeli Maddox needs to know why. If she and her kin are to
survive, she must trust a man as different from her as
night from day, as tooth from claw. He's a slayer, a
betrayer, an enemy. But nobility lurks in dark places, and
Keeli herself is no stranger to shadow. As sure as the
moon will rise, Michael was meant for her. Life is about
to change. Only three things will remain: the color of
blood, the hot joy of skin on skin, and the danger in...A
TASTE OF CRIMSON.
