Through one stupid mistake fueled by anger at the friend who humiliated her, and lust for the charming man who came to her aid,Callie follows the handsome stranger into the darkened alley and seals her fate. Not much time has passed since her freedom had been granted by the strange girl who released her from that terrifying ordeal. Though she is eternally grateful to have been welcomed into the home of her savior, Callie isn't entirely sure she is any safer with them. Confused to learn that she is surrounded by people that can transform into animals, is only part of her distress. The swirl of desperate need she feels toward one of the residents is enough to make her want to run for the hills. The odd behavior of a male resident has become unnerving.

Author's note

I may have already mentioned this before but I will do so again. There has been some question about the content of the first book in the Twisted Bloodlines series. I'm aware it touches on some tricky and possibly disturbing subject matter for some people but I will stress that this is a book of fiction. The characters are not human they are animals. Anyone who has ever watched a wildlife program will know that they don't follow our way of thinking. So again fiction, animals, paranormal! And for those of you who are unsure whether to continue onto the next book it does contain milder content and moves away from that particular character. I hope this clears a few things up and thanks for listening. As always any questions you may have you can reach me on here, by email or on my other sites and I will get back to you :)

New charcter intro

In the fifth instalment of the Twisted Bloodlines series I have two final characters to introduce. I'll start with Leon:

This is Sabrina's wayward brother. She thought he had died many years previously but now he's back with a bang and seeking forgiveness for his past crimes. He has information that she can't process which  paints a very different picture of the family she thought she had known. Is she able to put differences aside and build bridges with the sibling she once loved? It is a difficult time for her and many obstacles stand in her way including this one:

In an unwanted turn of events and in the midst of dire situations Callum is uncovered and set to turn Sabrina's world upside down. Deeply attracted to him she feels the familiar stirring of a mate claim and it couldn't have come at a worst time. She tries to deny him protecting her fragile heart from his advances but the cocky panther refuses to be ignored. Callum has found what he's been searching for and intends to hold on to her with everything he's got.
The stage has been set and Sabrina is upfront and centre. Don't miss the final instalment of the explosive ending to what has been an emotional rollercoaster ride!

Review:
Whoa,that was intense! I thought that Garrison from Airicka Phoenix's Touch Saga was the worst of the worst .Oh no,not anymore. I think Megan's father, Deacon tops the charts when it comes to the vilest of villians.At the very begining you geta glimpse of the type pf man he is and it leaves you holding your breath praying he never gets his hands on Megan again.The sad part of all this is that although this is fiction,the autrosities that take place in the story really does happen in the real world we live in just minus the paranormal aspects. My heart shurts for the women who sufferd under Deacon's command. Now Megan and her mate must find a way to overcome inevitable and unseen obstacles and decide if love is strong enough to defeat twisted bloodlines.

A quote

Here is a quote Megan lives by. I think it suits her situation perfectly don't you agree?

Introducing Lucy

Lucy joins the cast in book 5 of the Twisted Bloodlines series. Bright red hair green eyes and a sprinkling of freckles across her nose she's adorable but don't let her appearance fool you. Lucy is a mage and a quite powerful one at that. She's also highly strung and easily offended. Somewhat of a loner she appears to be a stranger to affection but if you show her loyalty and respect she will be by your side in a heartbeat should you have need of her talents. Her debut in the book details this and Lucy becomes fast friends with Sabrina.
Caught up in the brewing war for her good deed Lucy finds herself thrown in at the deep end with a race who despises her very existence but also a surprising turn of events that is completely foreign to her. Surrounded by people she doesn't know will their heartbreaking situation enlist her for the battle ahead or will she leave them to fight their own troubles and continue on in ignorant bliss?
