Capital Thirst
by R.W. Buxton
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Paranormal Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
DC
bustles, the light from the city fills the night. But in the dark alleys and
backstreets, only slivers of light from a full moon dance. In such an alley, a
shadowy figure is hunched over a body. She lifts her head to reveal soulless
eyes and fangs dripping with blood as she licks her lips with exultation.
Standing up, she
wipes her chin, and tosses her long black hair, then saunters away.
At FBI headquarters,
Gerry examines the case files of 18 wealthy men, dead, with few clues, no DNA,
and no leads...
When predator and
prey become one, no one is safe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
The Attack
Gerry turned, but she was there, her hands on his shoulders
pushing him back hard against the hood of the Suburban.
She could smell his musky scent, and his blood, she could
feel it coursing through his veins. His heart pumping thundered over the noise
of the fans, pushing the precious liquid through his body. Her own desire to
drink it in was near insanity. Her lips pulled back, fangs ready to sink into
his flesh, her mouth brushed against his neck. The taste of his blood running
down her throat would be heaven. She stopped and jerked back. She couldn’t kill
him. Erin found herself questioning her actions.
What was she feeling? She didn’t believe in love. Never
believed in love at first sight. Yet here she was with the perfect prey, and
she wanted to know everything about him. Wanted to spend time with him, needed
to be with him. The feeling she couldn’t be complete without him
overwhelmed her. It was the only time in hundreds of years
she didn’t kill the man she chose. She stumbled back half a step. Dazed by her
own confusion.
Looking up into Gerry’s wide eyes, she saw horror and
confusion reflected back at her.
“I’m sorry, I was so scared. I didn’t mean to push you back
like that. It was just that I was so afraid standing there alone.” Words
tumbled out of Erin’s mouth. Did he believe her? “I ran forward without even
thinking.” Words were still coming.
REVIEW
Erin is a vampire, who happens to be lonely.
Gerry is an FBI agent who has a young daughter Mary.
When Erin meets Gerry she quickly falls in love with him and his sweet daughter. However, neither of them realize that Gerry is hunting someone that is leaving dead bodies everywhere which happens to be Erin. They also have a huge problem of Gerry being human and Erin being a vampire. Then we meet Garvila, he is Erin's creator and her abuser. Now he is back in town and threating everything Erin holds dear to her. Will she be able to protect Gerry & Mary from harm? Will Garvila leave them alone or will she have to kill him and take a chance of other vampires to come hunt her down?
I found this story to be so thrilling and different. Erin & Gerry are just so great together, when they are together they make you forget of all the problems they have to deal with and the secrecy that surrounds them. The story was very detailed and enjoyable. I highly recommend this one!
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I love a good
paranormal read, something about the un-dead haunts the fringes of my mind. Mix
in romance, love, loss, and you have a great story.
I voraciously
read everything, fiction, and non-fiction but always find myself turning back
to the darker stories. I’ve always wanted to write and the dream became a
reality with Capital Thirst, and the remainder of the Erin Kingsly novels.
I spend most
of my days designing and building websites, but my free time is devoted to my
wife, family, and cats. Yes three grown children and three cats. Things can be
hectic.
For fun you
might find me driving winding roads with the top down or out photographing
nature.

I encourage reading so having a family who loves to read I sure support.Thanks for sharing your terrific read with us.
ReplyDeleteI certainly understand a love for reading. It's one of my favorite pastimes. As corny as this may sound it's what prompted me to want to write. I've always been so thankful for the books others have written I wanted to give something back to all those that do read. This is sort of my way of saying thank you to all the authors that have come before me.

What author living or not, would you like to have dinner with and why?
ReplyDeleteThis is an easy one. Agatha Christie. She was a master of plot a deceit. I would love to just sit down and talk about how she came up with so many dastardly ideas and strange ways to kill people. Where she came up with ideas for all the characters and how she plotted The Orient Express.
