Humans, vampires, werewolves, witches, warlocks, and demons.
The whole cake and the icing too! What a wonderful treat for fans of urban
fantasy and paranormal romance.
Rose has to get away from the stress at home. Mom is
uncommunicative from a mysterious illness. Dad is busy but hovers. Rose wants
freedom and has found work in London, teaching self-defense in a local gym. She
plans of living with her Aunt Flo and her cousins Erin and Roman. Her friend
Faye is coming along and has plans to live in a group house. It is going to be
a grand adventure.
What she doesn’t realize is that the world is full of more
than just humans. Her cousin, Roman, is a werewolf in a pack of werewolves, his
friends Raven, Harold, Kris, and Damon are all werewolves and hanging out at
Aunt Flo’s house. Roman is dating Thistle, who is a vampire.
Other characters are disappearing, there are things stalking
the supernatural of London. The leadership of the werewolves and vampires are
watching and trying to figure out who is doing it. Rose is finding out that she
is….
Amos Cassidy’s first book in the Crimson Series has more
twists and turns than a garden walk on the side of a mountain. I had to make
sure to remember what each character was doing and who they had been with the
last time I read about them. The story weaves in and out between characters and
groups before racing toward a very fast and unexpected ending. It left me
breathless and wanting to go back a few chapters and see if I missed anything
because what I read was so hard to believe it happened that way. It’s not a bad
ending, it’s more such a surprise that I was thinking “They did what?” as I
stopped reading (and tried to remember to breathe).
I want to read more about Rose and her world. I cannot wait
until the next book comes out in the fall to read about how things go from
where she left it. I do recommend this book for late teens to adults. There is
no blatant sex, although there is some same-sex action and there is violence.
