Ravenous: The Dark Forgotten

This is a good read. Light, not particularly complex but it kept me interested from beginning to end. The characters are likeable, the plot made sense and if you're looking for simple escapism that's fun and entertaining then this book won't disappoint.

The first in the Dark Forgotten series. Holly Carver is a witch who is working with a sexy vampire Alessandro Caravelli and both have forbidden desires of the other but when Holly finds herself in danger Alessandro get closer in order to protect her.
Sharon Ashwood creates an alternate world where humans are aware of the supernatural, and she adds a great vampire/witch romance to the story. Very enjoyable, I'll be looking forward to the next in the series. 91/1000

Lots of action which I totally love. I recomend this book to all those paranormal fanatics looking for a new author to wet your whistle

I got my hands on a review copy of this new novel. Basically the plot revolves around a young and powerful, witch named Holly Carver who does 'ghost busting' to pay the bills. She often teams up with the vampire, Alessandro Caravelli, for the tougher jobs. Holly has some difficulties using powers and is uncomfortable with her potent attraction to Alessandro. Soon Omara, Alessandro's queen, shows up in town to complicate matters--as well as something much older and much more evil.

Upon reading it the first thing I did was fall in love with the hero, Alessandro Caravelli. Is this the only good thing about the novel? Heck no! The writer, Sharon Ashwood, has done a fabulous job with the plot. It keeps its pace throughout the novel, has juicy substance, and makes it across the finish line without losing its oomph. As well, Ashwood's world building is believable, unlike some of the sf/fantasy type novels, including the romance genre, that I've read over the years. The background, magical structure and mechanics are plausible and won't leave you scratching your head in mystification. The characterization in the novel is zesty and each of the protagonists has enough internal conflict to make them interesting and keep us rooting for them all the way.

Ashwood has incorporated enough romance and hot sex among the adventures to keep us satisfied. This gets me back to Alessandro…….
