Twilight Desires

4 Stars Review by Sue Late Night Reviewer Up All Night w/ Books Blog Twilight Desires by Amanda Ashley is a paranormal romance about a vampire, Ethan Parrish who must come to terms with the fact that he was turned into a vampire without consent. It is also about the human woman, Sofia, he comes to love. With Ethan unable to live in the light and Sofia unwilling to give up her humanity to live in the dark, how will their fledgling love survive? I was immersed in this story. This author is a wonderful story teller. She weaved her magic and I was entranced by this book. The plot was a little slow but did have some action scenes sprinkled in. Sofia and Ethan’s characters as well as their relationship was well developed. I loved that Sofia questioned becoming vampire. The fact that although she was previously intrigued by them, seeing and knowing the reality makes her hesitate. This was so well done. It shows her humanity. I also liked the fact the Ethan grieved the loss of his humanity. We don’t often see vampires long for their humanity very often. It was all just very well written and done. Intriguing. As for their relationship. It was slow and steady but I don’t think it could have been any other way. With Sofia leery of becoming vampire and Ethan unsure of who he is and what he wants, it only makes sense that they wade through their problems before making such huge decisions. The only downfall, for me, was that the intimate scenes faded to grey. A very well written story. I’m now excited to see what the previous installments in this series provide.

Passion and excitement explodes from the pages of this thrilling traditional vampire romance as Sofia and Ethan try to overcome some traditional issues regarding vampires and some not so traditional ones. The characters are strong and convincing as they draw readers into their story as Ethan has trouble accepting what he is and has lots of worries that go along with being turned into a “monster,” while Sofia has to wonder if being with Ethan is the best thing for her and her future. This has lots of emotional turmoil that readers can understand as well as keeping them glued to the pages as they wonder if this couple will reach a happily ever after or will their difference be more than they can handle. The plot is steady to fast paced plot and keeps readers hanging on the edge of their seat with lots of thrilling suspense as Sofia and Ethan not try to move forward but a fight with an enemy that has set his sights on Sofia and the town of Morgan Creek. This enemy takes some elaborate measures to get what he wants most of which are deadly and brings unknown elements into the mix. Which gives readers as well as Ethan and Saintcrow, quite a few surprising twists to become caught up in. The author is instigating some changes to the town of Morgan Creek and I have to wonder where she is taking this thrilling and mesmerizing series, especially since I can imagine several different paths she could take from here which could mean more wonderfully spine tingling vampire romances to come for readers. Note: While the story may be in the more traditional style of vampire romance, it is in no way boring and readers are easily smitten and charmed by the sexy vampires of Morgan Creek.

Wonderful way to put 3 couple's and families together.
