'The Heart Of The Demon' series, Book One.
'She stood slowly, and his jaw dropped as she started to change before him. The hollows of her eyes began to darken, turning into a black that spread out across her skin like an ink stain on white paper. Her fingers lengthened into claws, ears into sharp points, eyes into bottomless pits of darkness. Her mouth widened across the changing features of her face to reveal red teeth as he looked on in horror. Her body began to morph, bones lengthening and thickening, and by the time she was standing she was no longer a girl stuck in a prison cell; she was a monster trapped in a cage.'
Sasha is an immortal demon who has harnessed the ability to change into the form of a human to conceal herself from society, but as humanity further extends its reach across the planet it becomes almost impossible for her to hunt her favourite prey – humans themselves. Finding herself at the mercy of the police after her true nature is revealed to the public, she is forced to use her own humanity to escape – a humanity that comes at a fatal price.
Reviews
"In many ways this book is groundbreaking. By that I mean it successfully spans genres: historical romance, fantasy, thriller, even horror without feeling like it's trying to fit into any of these. The characters are great, but what struck me most about this book were the lavish, absorbing and fresh descriptions that transport you from your sofa into a world which you never thought you could so vividly imagine. If you are the sort of person that loves rich, textured description to deliver great escapism, then this is the book for you. I would also recommend it if you are a fan of horror/romance cross over - that may not quite do it justice, but unique works often defy being slotted into categories. I will be watching out for and reading more from this author." - Amazon Review
"Your Blood is a Lovely Colour is unexpected, exciting, suspenseful and passionate. The title gives almost nothing away, and the writing that follows is extremely clever and immerses the reader in the characters and the story. I literally read the whole thing in an evening, and wanted to read it again that same night. I would recommend this novel to anyone and everyone, and I have my fingers crossed for a sequel." - Amazon Review
"This is an excellent story with a well thought out monster at the heart of it along with all the implications of what it would mean. The characters are rounded, with their own fears and concerns of the situation coming to the fore and the overlapping effects of the initial massacre haunt them through the course of the book. The plot is well paced, as the situation becomes tense and decisions have to be made. In between the main story chapters, it is well interspersed with a second story from Sasha’s past, which provides clues to the predicament they find themselves in." Review from
