Zoe Winters has created a world in which other paranormal creatures buy Therian (shifter) blood. She was nice enough to post one of her
Isn't that something like a drug dealer...Give a free sample to hook your customer and you have an addict for life. The theory works well with her writing. I had my sample (an approximately 80 page
I will admit it. I have a problem. I am addicted to the written word, as long as it is well written.
Kept is well written. Ms. Winter's book is due out soon. Spring/Summer 2010 entitled Blood Lust (The Preternaturals Book One). The book consists of three
KEPT:
As a cat therian (shifter), Greta's blood is already sought after to enhance spells and potions, but due to a quirk of her birth, her blood is potent enough to kill for. When her tribe plans to sacrifice her, Greta must ally herself with Dayne, the dangerous local sorcerer, and the only person strong enough to protect her.
Kept was an interesting story. Enjoyable and yet another take on the paranormal/preternatural. Greta (therian), Dayne (sorcerer), and even Minx made an interesting set of characters to read about. Ms. Winters is even working on establishing some background and legends into her story."She’d read legends about therians born in their fur and having extra powers, but she’d always thought they were just stories."
Kept is definitely written for the Adult reader and not the YA market. I look forward to reading the other two stories; Claimed and Mated; in her book, Blood Lust, when it hits the market.
Good Books, Good Wine, Good Friends What Could be Better.
Thank you for the lovely review! A point of clarification: Kept, Claimed, and Mated are novellas. I don't say that to be a snot, I just don't want people to think the stories are shorter than they are, so they know what they're getting if they choose to check it out. Kept is at the very low word count range for a novella at 21,000 words. Claimed and Mated are each around 35,000 words.
ReplyDeleteZoe,
ReplyDeleteGood to know the approximate word length of each of the stories. I tend to read faster than most people I talk to. So honestly to me if a book is less than 200 pages I tend to consider it a short story (about 45 minutes to an hour of my time). I did correct the review to refer to them as novellas.
Thanks! (I just saw this through Google Alerts) It's so easy for me to lose track of conversations online.
