Synopsis:
Welcome to Crimson Cove
Sheltered by ancient redwoods overlooking the California coast, the cozy village of Crimson Cove has it all: sophisticated retreats, fine dining, and a notorious nightclub, The Crimson Corset. It seems like a perfect place to relax and get close to nature. But not everything in Crimson Cove is natural.
When Cade Colter moves to town, he expects it to be peaceful to the point of boredom. But he quickly learns that after the sun sets and the fog rolls in, the little tourist town takes on a whole new kind of life – and death.
Darkness at the Edge of Town
Renowned for its wild parties and history of debauchery, The Crimson Corset looms on the edge of town, inviting patrons to sate their most depraved desires and slake their darkest thirsts. Proprietor Gretchen VanTreese has waited centuries to annihilate the Old World vampires on the other side of town and create a new race – a race that she alone will rule. When she realizes Cade Colter has the key that will unlock her plan, she begins laying an elaborate trap that will put everyone around him in mortal danger.
Blood Wars
The streets are running red with blood, and as violence and murder ravage the night, Cade must face the darkest forces inside himself, and perhaps even abandon his own humanity, in order to protect what he loves
Review:
Well
this might just be one of my favourite supernatural series. It is a mature
mixture of Vampire Diaries, Dracula and Anne Rice books and somehow it works. It
is a bit dirty; it has great characters, fabulous setting and secrets of night
creature that are being slowly revealed throughout the story.
Cade
turns up in Crimson Cove after the death of his mother, he comes to live with
his brother Brooks that has made the little town his home a few years back.
Things are going great for the brothers, until strange characters start turning
up around Cade – pale, cold people that makes the hairs on his neck stand.
Throw in the strangely protective behaviours of local Sherriff and friend Ethan
and you have a great mix to start up paranoia in anyone.
And
then Brooks gets a new, secret girlfriends and that’s when all goes downhill
for Cade and Ethan. Cade gets a quick lecture on the night life creatures that
have been roaming the woods of Crimson Cove for centuries and a battle to save
his brother commences.
It’s
a great-paced novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I thoroughly
enjoyed the first book and am already reading the second instalment. Alistair
Cross has skilfully married the good and evil here and shown that not all that appears
evil actually is.
Thank
you to the publisher and author for copy of this book in return for an honest
review.
