Caroline Hanson - Valerie Dearborn

Love is Darkness (Valerie Dearborn #1) 

by Caroline Hanson

Valerie Dearborn wants a cotton candy life, but it’s more like a puffer fish: pointy, unusual, and—if not prepared exactly right—deadly.

In London for graduate school, Val knows she's finally free. Her father and ex-almost-boyfriend are back in California and she's out of the Vampire hunting biz for good. Or is she?

She draws the attention of Lucas, a 1600 year old Vampire, and King to his kind. He’s also wicked hot. As golden as Lucifer, and just as tempting, he makes Valerie an offer she can't refuse— help him find out if the Others (Empaths, Fey and Werewolves) still exist or he'll stop protecting those she loves.

Lucas tells her that Empaths were a Vampire’s biggest weakness before going extinct hundreds of years ago. While the Fey or a Werewolf might kill a Vampire, an Empath could enslave them, seducing or harming with emotions at will. The one detail he leaves out? Valerie is an Empath.

And after 1600 years of an emotionless existence, Lucas wants Valerie like a recovering alcoholic wants a wine cooler.

Can she keep those she loves alive, stop Lucas from munching on her, survive a fanged revolution and still find a way to have that boring, normal life she’s always wanted? Probably not, but boy is she gonna try!

Love is Fear (Valerie Dearborn #2) 

by Caroline Hanson

After a lot of swearing and only a little nookie, Valerie Dearborn has decided to make a change. No more lusting after Lucas, the hot but emotionless vampire king who can’t commit. Instead she’s going to make it work with Jack. After all, not only is he breathing but he’s the love of her life…isn’t he?

Valerie is an empath, with supernatural abilities that seem to do nothing more than give her the hots for Lucas. Once upon a time empath’s had a purpose, they were ambassadors to the Others- Fey, witches, werewolves and vampires. They could settle the emotions of a werewolf, make vampires feel…but that was long ago.

Lucas isn’t about to let Valerie go, especially not when he needs her to help him find the Fey, last seen in Roanoke, South Carolina, circa 1587. He still wants to find them and believes they are the key to restoring balance to the world and keeping vampires under control. But Lucas is the one responsible for their extinction and he knows they won’t trust him—although they will trust Valerie.

Between Jack, Lucas and the vampire witch Rachel –Val knows life won’t be dull. Nor will it be the normal, 2.5 kids kind of life she’s always wanted.

As their enemies close in, Val must ask herself what life is really about – trust, loyalty, duty or love? And even if she finds the answer, she may not live long enough to enjoy it.

Blood Will Tell (Warriors of Ankh #1) 

by Samantha Young

 

Eden is a Soul Eater. While that hasn’t meant much to her in the past, she’s pretty sure any minute now she’s going to go all "Carrie" on her eleventh grade class.

Noah is an Ankh. As an immortal Warrior, his purpose in life is to hunt down and kill Soul Eaters.

Eden is Noah’s next assignment. Problem is… this is an assignment with a difference. Eden’s not your average, run of the mill, Soul Eater. Noah’s job? To test Eden for possible redemption.

It’s a risky business.

Especially if Noah awakens Eden’s inner monster.

It would be kind of hard for Eden to listen to the angel on her shoulder when the devil on the other is telling her, her new best friend is a lying, scheming, immortal enemy...

....betrayal is such a bitch.

So is Eden when you get on her bad side.
