Dark Liaison by J. D. Brown

 Blurb:

Ema Marx wishes her life would go back to normal, but there’s nothing normal about being a Romani-Vampyre with an ancestor who wants you dead. Apollyon is back, wreaking havoc on the lives of everyone she cares about while plotting her demise.

Ema thought she would find a new best friend in her trainer, Bridget, until the exotic vampire vies for Jesu’s attention. Jesu can date who he wants, right? Ema has more important things to worry about, like honing her powers. When Apollyon’s thugs appear out of the shadows to attack her, Ema knows it’s time to take action. But everyone else has other plans in mind.

One thing is for certain, being under house arrest in the German vampyre king’s castle was not part of her plan to save the day.

Review:

Dark Liaison picks up right where Dark Heirloom leaves off.  While the book can stand on its own, I highly suggest you read Dark Heirloom first, simply because it's a great ride.  If you read DH when it came out, you might want to give it a quick scan before you pick up DL because both books are fast-moving, edge-of-your-seat adventures and the transition from one to the next is seamless with no loss of quality in this volume.  Be prepared to howl at the end, though—there will be a third book and Dark Heirloom has another cliff-hanger ending.  That's what cost it half a rose.  I have to wait again, Ms. Brown?  Darn it!  Write faster!  Tell your editors to work faster. (Yeah, this from the person who takes years, sometimes decades to finish a book.  Note to self—write!)

At any rate, I highly recommend Dark Liaison, just as I did Dark Heirloom.

You’ll notice I always include the publisher’s buy link.  That’s because authors usually receive 40% of the book price from the publisher.  Editors and cover artists usually receive about 5%.  When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author, editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left.  So, if a book costs $5.99 at E-Book Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40.  If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will receive about $0.83.

Downloading the file from your computer to your Kindle is as easy as transferring any file from your computer to a USB flash drive.  Plug the USB end of your chord into a USB port on your computer and simply move the file from your “Downloads” box to your Kindle/Documents/Books directory.  I actually download my books using “Save As” to a “Books” file I created on my computer that’s sorted by my publisher, friends, and books “to review,” and then transfer them to my Kindle from there.  That way, if there’s a glitch with my Kindle, the books are on my computer.  Your author will be happy you did when he/she sees his/her royalty statement.
