{Blog Tour} Review: SILK by Chris Karlsen + Giveaway

Posted 25 March, 2015 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Blog Tour, Giveaways, Reviews / 13 Comments

I’m a fan of novels set in Victorian England so I was instantly drawn to SILK’s story line and setting…who can say no to a murder mystery and the notorious Jack the Ripper?! Definitely not me… It didn’t hurt that the book has a lovely cover (yes I’m a cover hussy). It looks a bit romantic, yet gothic, which is exactly what you get from Chris Karlsen’s writing. But don’t be fooled, while there are some romantic elements weaved […]

Sexy Irish vampire meets his match in a smart-mouthed supernatural huntress! ALABASTER NIGHTS is a short but fantastic introduction to Ms. Rossi’s characters Josie and Keller of The Josie Hawk Chronicles and tells the story of how they initially met. Told by alternate POVs, we get a feel for the hero and heroine’s distinct personalities through Ms. Rossi’s great character development.

Life is already harsh in 1851 and throwing in the undead raises the stakes at a chance of survival! Our protagonist Eve is a bright, young woman who has been dealt a bad hand in life […]
