Toni, I've added Murder in Old blood, Vengeance from Eden, Sinbad's Last Voyage, Bloodseek: The Chronicals of Riven the Heretic, book One and Walks the Shadow Trail to my to-read list.
Toni's vampire stories are fresh and original. Her species of vampire evolved as man did but they're a different branch on the tree of life!
Fantastic creatures who are overwhelmingly human as well.
Thanx. Lately, all I've been reading is old manuscripts, however!
Have an excellent reading day, Toni!
