A Great Book

I read a new book several days ago. The book is Eternal Seduction, a dark, paranormal, vampire story and the first in a series of related paranormals. The author, Jennifer Turner, self published this book and after reading the first few chapters on her website, I was hooked. If you are interested, her website is The Darkness Within
I enjoyed Eternal Seduction as well as any book I've read lately. The "heroine", Logan, starts out as a homeless drug addict. Definitely not heroine material, and from what I understand, this is the reason the book was self-published by Jen. No agent wanted a lead character like Logan and Jen stuck to her guns and kept Logan at the cost of an agent. I have to say, having a character/love interest who wasn't practically a virgin, or one who's only flaw seemed to be stubbornness was refreshing. I actually liked Logan from the beginning, even with her less-than-perfect life.
Our hunky, brooding vampire is Kerestyan, the Lord of New York, and he is faced with the problem of what to do with Logan who has been aware of vampires for several months. And that's a definite problem when you are trying to keep vamps a secret from the human population.
You can also read a great interview with Jen at Bitten By Books and learn a little bit about Jen and her wonderful book.

I love my 2 grandsons and reading. I like traveling but the only place I go any more is Colorado. Maybe after I move to Colorado I'll travel to other places.
