Publisher Description
Blight is dark and violent and it is the 1st book in a series
Rebecca "Beck" Lewis has always known she was destined for an early grave. Ever since her parents became monsters and tore her perfect world apart she has been shattered, unable to put the pieces together again. But she doesn't care because her goal in what is left of her life is to take out as many Blights as possible before they take her out or she finally gives in to madness. She likes being able to kill the monsters without mercy, without doubts, and she is very good at what she does.
It doesn't matter that the amethyst-eyed demon who haunts her dreams is slipping into her reality and is stealing pieces of her soul. It doesn't matter that he is destroying whatever remnants of humanity she has left and fashioning her into something new. It doesn't matter that he is taking everything she loves away from her.
She never had much use for her soul anyway.
full length DARK Urban Fantasy, approx. 112,000 words
warning: contains graphic language, explicit sex (M/F) and a strong female character that drinks too much, swears inappropriately and kills a lot of Blights, all of which some may feel is offensive
Customer Reviews
Surprised how much I loved this.
Hmmm....This is not a genre that I would particularly go for, however, seeing as I love everything else from this author, I gave it a go.
I have to say, even though I found it a bit gory and confusing, I have been hardly able to put it down. I feel like I have to relate to the female lead to enjoy a story, and while I haven't quite yet got that with Beck (mainly because all has not yet been revealed and still yet to unfurl in the sequel), I still want to invest reading time with her and see the rest of her story evolve.
So while this is a genre I'm not familiar with, and would not expect to enjoy, I still fell in love with this epic story and can't wait for it to continue in After Blight.
With all of the indie authors now, anything can get published, but every time I read one of this author's books I come up with the same reaction - this is a REAL writer. There is just something about her writing that takes it to the next level and drags you into the story with your descriptions that make them stick with you and find a secure place on your favourites list.
