The Earl's Daughter

Rise of the Dark Ones #1

by Aderyn Wood

The Earl's Daughter is the second book (full length novel) in a dark paranormal mystery trilogy (VAMPIRE FICTION).


Find out what kind of monster his is, and bring my daughter back to us.

Michael D'Angelo doesn't normally investigate murder, but since they never found Emma's body, she's technically just a missing person. But he doesn't investigate those either.

After the Earl of Wolston reads the translation of a sinister and ancient text published on his daughter's blog, in the days leading up to her disappearance, he reaches out to Mr D'Angelo, convinced that evil forces are at work: something beyond the ordinary, something not of this world, something unholy.

Fortunately for Michael, Paranormal Investigations are his specialty. But as Michael unravels Emma's last days, and the secrets inscribed on her blog, he begins to question whether such knowledge is too dangerous to pursue.

Fans of dark, paranormal, occult and vampire mysteries are going to love this series.

So pleased with this book, and so disappointed that the next one isn't available, yet.
I loved the characters. Michael is so thoughtful and cautious, with such deep compassion, and Georgette is absolutely the kind of person I'd be best friends with. She'd probably be disappointed in my cooking, though.
And of course, I'm a sucker for any story that involves mysterious books full of forgotten secrets.

***REVIEW TO COME***

More like Interview with a vampire rather than Twilight.
Would have rated higher if didn't end with a cliffhanger leaving the story up in the air.

This is the second book to The Viscount's Son. I very much enjoyed the first book and this one grabbed my attention the same way. It is a quick read. Where in the first book you see more of Emma and go through her story in this book you see Michael D'Angelo's point of view for about the first half of the book. I think I was around the 50 percent on my kindle when Emma appeared, but it still kept my interest. The new characters in this book kept me guessing and wanting to know more about them and what made them do the things they do. In the end you get to see where the next book in the series is headed. I can't wait to see where they end up and hope to learn the answers to the many questions/curiosity I have about them.

Excitement with every page.

The Earl's Daughter is fantastic, I love the way Aderyn Wood writers like she journal it keeps you turning the pages. The relationship between Michael and Emma grows through out the book but doesn't become known til the end. The twists and turns in the characters makes this book on the must read list.

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this. Part mystery, part romance and part vampire...looking forward to the next book.
