Between Blood - paranormal romance in search of beta readers

[Amber]

Hi everyone!

I've got a new paranormal romance that I just finished editing and would love to get some extra eyes to look at it and verify that it makes sense. I'm not expecting any proofreading, just opinions on whether you like the story, if I've left a part out that makes you wish I would've said more and if there is ever a time you wish you could get a knife and stab particular characters repeatedly.

The book hasn't been proofread yet, so there will be typos, but they should be kept to a minimum and I don't think they'll harm the story flow. It is presently around 80K words and can be sent in any format you prefer. I'm hoping to get feedback back to me in around a two week timeframe. I know that isn't a lot of time, so if you don't think you'd be able to get it read that quick, let me know upfront and I'll still send it your way.

I will note that there are some adult scenes, nothing that I think is too graphic, but they still exist. If you are interested, you can contact me here on Goodreads or at amberlynnbooks@gmail.com. Description and links to sample Chapter 1 and 2 follow.

Helena loved her family and the simple life they lived in the shadows of their mountain village. She was the baby of a family filled with her father, mother, two brothers and sister. Helena had never heard the stories of the things that lived on the outskirts of town, but when her family was taken from her by a vampire, she quickly learned things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Helena was nothing more than a kid at the time and if it wasn't for Thomas, she would've been lost. Thomas rescued Helena before the vampire that killed her family could get to her. He'd been hunting the monster and instead of trying to finish him off, Thomas got Helena to safety. He tried numerous times to lose her over the years so he could continue his revenge, but she stuck to him like glue.

Their duo of vampire hunters cut the way through dozens of vampires on their crusade to find the one that had ruined both their lives. When the day finally came for Helena to meet the monster face-to-face, she never expected to find him taking her away from Thomas without a fight. As much as she thought she'd learned about Thomas over the years, the fact that they had been searching for his brother the whole time hadn't been mentioned.

Helena understood absolutely nothing about the events happening in her life, or how she was, and had always been, connected with both men. Each man claims to love her, but in her eyes one will always be a monster and the other the love of her life. When brothers hate each other as much as Thomas and Cain, getting stuck between them is hazardous for anyone's health.
