After seeing this book on my nook for awhile i decided to read it. I honestly didn't know what this book was about so i was a little confused about the plot. I'm happy i didn't read the summary , to me it gave a lot of things away.

I received a free copy of this book on the Bewitching "virtural" book tour for an honest review. This is one of those creepy undertone stories with no light of hope. As an optimist, I read this with wide eyes bypassing the dismal and seeking the happy ending that never came. I got and still have chills from this novel. This reminds me of one of the children fables where there’s always a moral. From this day forward, I will tell all young men: Never go home with a cute stranger at the bar. I gues...more
I’ve only given one piece of advice in life and that is, “Never fall for a beautiful, mysterious woman while drinking at a Turkish tavern.”

Now don’t get me wrong, those bookstores have great books but when you’ve read every Stephen King or Dean Koontz book possible you woul...more

Dark Lullaby is a story of a beautiful young woman who is not what she appears to be. When a scientist, Gabriel, falls for her, he does not realize what she is but it soon becomes apparent she is dangerous to him and his family. This is a well-written book with lots of "gasp" moments, things you don't see coming. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys fantasy/horror genre.
While having drinks at a tavern in Baltimore one evening, Gabriel Diaz and his ex-girlfriend Liz are approached by a beautiful stranger. She introduces herself as Kamilah, a local student, and inserts herself into the conversation. Liz is wary as something just doesn’t seem right about Kamilah. Gabriel however, is entranced...

The next time you feel like curling up with a scary book, get a copy of author Mayra Calvani's Dark Lullaby, a riviting page turner that will keep you reading straight through until the end. The story begins in Baltimore where Puerto Rican born Gabriel Diaz meets the lovely young woman Kamilah. Very soon she has his undivided attention....
