Lindisfarne is a small island off the coast of Northumberland in North East England. Every high tide covers the causeway, cutting it off. Life there fascinates me, just as it did Saint Aidan in 635AD when king Oswald of Northumbria granted him the island to build a monastery.

Sixty-five years later, the monks started work on the Lindisfarne Gospels. Hand written and lavishly illustrated, they now reside in the British museum.

Life took a turn for the worse when in 793AD the Vikings invaded. For over a hundred years, they plundered the island of goods. Peaceful men of God, the monks were easy pickings. Those that survived the raids were captured and sold as slaves.

Unsurprisingly, the monks left in 995 AD.


All the above is true, but I have a couple of what if questions. When the monks moved out, was that when the vampires moved in?

And what if the vampires built the imposing castle?


Find out more in my naughty postapocalyptic romance, Claimed as Theirs.

Blurb


As a breeder--one of the few fertile women left in a ruined, plague-ravaged world--Cassie would fetch a handsome price at auction, and selling her to the highest bidder was exactly what her captors had in mind... until two fearsome beasts decided to take her for themselves. Eli and Dane have chosen Cassie for their mate, and when she makes a foolish attempt at escape she quickly ends up tearfully promising obedience as her bare bottom is soundly and shamefully punished. Her body's response to their stern dominance cannot be denied, however, and it isn't long before she is screaming out her intense, helpless pleasure as she is roughly and thoroughly claimed. But will Eli and Dane's pack accept a human girl or will Cassie be an outsider forever?


Publisher's Note: Taken as Theirs includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Review of Vicious Creatures

“Killing people silences the screaming in my head.”

 

Chloe West’s father trained her to kill on command, and she was the best in the business. 

​

Ten years ago, she was supposed to infiltrate a paranormal academy, kill a few faculty members and students, and make it look like an accident. Then her daddy could step in and buy the property for less than it's worth.

Instead, the head teacher enchanted her into being  gentle-natured and passive. All she wants is to be a hairdresser. And she has no memory of her murderous past.

​

When a friendly witch breaks the spell, her memory rushes back. No longer a sweet-natured young woman her friends know and love, she doesn't want to see judgment in their eyes. Rather than face them, she flees.

 

Now her ambition is to rid he world of her billionaire father and make amends for all the pain and mayhem her killer persona created.

 

Then there’s Dwayne. Never forget Dwayne. He’s a killer goose with psychotic tendencies and Chloe’s best friend.

****

 

I loved the storytelling and breadth of imagination in this book.

​

 It’s hard not to identify with Chloe as she takes out various bad guys and befriends other paranormal creatures.

 

As mentioned, I have a soft spot for Dwayne. Let’s face it, who doesn’t want a killer goose for a best friend? Then there are vampires and a strategist who helped train her. He tells life's a chessboard, and while she might be a knight, she could be the queen. 

 

The medical research behind the murders is fascinating. If the police ever check Ms Hignett’s computer history, she could be in trouble.

 

This book, and the rest of the series, took over my life. Unable to put i down, I until the small hours then stated the next in series. It wasn’t until I finished the complete Waif in the Wilds series that I realised that although complete in itself, it's is part of a huge story arc.

 

Now I’m on a mission to read the connected series. I’d recommend this book to anyone who loves a slow building paranormal romance set in one of the best imaginary worlds I’ve ever visited. Best of all, a gentle humour runs through every word.
