About this ebook

Over 1100 pages of can’t-put-down paranormal fiction.

Shifters and gypsies hate each other, but they hate vampires more.

If they can’t set their differences aside and forge a new alliance, they’ve signed their own death warrants. And if magic dies out of the world, humans won’t be far behind.

Tarnished Beginnings

Tairin Jabari was born in a caravan and has always believed she's Romani. Why wouldn't she? Her mother and father never suggested otherwise. The Rom have harsh rules. When Tairin's first shift catches her unaware at thirteen, her father disappears, and the elders move with deadly speed to punish her mother for mating outside the blood.

Tarnished Legacy

Half Romani, Tairin's no stranger to hiding her mixed blood from gypsy caravans. What she can't hide is her perpetual youth, courtesy of her shifter heritage. Every few years, she drops out of sight, resurfacing in a new country to join a caravan where no one knows her. She's overstayed her welcome where she is, but Germany is at war, and travel has become all but impossible for everyone targeted by the Reich.

Tarnished Prophecy

Magic runs strong in Ilona, a gypsy seer. Powerful ability isn't valued in Romani women, so she focuses her fortunetelling on inconsequential details. Nothing that could come back to haunt her caravan if a prediction went bad. Rounded up and dumped in Dachau prison camp, she has plenty of time to rue her decision to downplay her ability. If she'd taken the time to scry her own future, she'd still be free.

Tarnished Journey

Long before Germany targeted the Romani people and sent them to prison camps, the Netherlands declared them undesirables. Yara's caravan disbanded when she was fifteen to avoid being driven out of the country. Ten years have passed, and she's been alone for most of that time hiding in caves and abandoned buildings. It's been a lonely life, but at least she still has one. For now.

The Soul Dance Collection contains the four books in The Soul Dance series (Tarnished Beginnings, Tarnished Legacy, Tarnished Prophecy, and Tarnished Journey). These books should not be read as standalones as this story began in Tarnished Beginnings and continues in the rest of the books. This set makes it easy to read them all in order. There is violence and the sex is hot and steamy so definitely 18+. The book blurb adequately describes the storyline so I'm not going to repeat that info here. The author did a great job explaining Romani and shifter culture and some history. Mix in vampires and Nazi Germany and you have an interesting series. The storyline will keep you guessing what twists and turns will be revealed next. It definitely kept me riveted.

Absolutely loved this series. It takes place in Europe in the 1930's - 1940's. It's about Gypsies, Shifters and a few other creatures. This is in the run up to Hitler's regime and anyone different was not welcome in the Gypsies caravans. The Gypsy thread is constant throughout this series. It's a wonderful glue that holds it together. I Highly Recommend It!

Book 1, Beginnings -A wonderful beginning to a new series that is filled with magical gypsies, wolf shifters, vampires and the hunters of both. A young girl, overhearing an argument between her parents, finally learns why she feels different. She has learned that the dreams she's had since she was little, were in fact, her other half trying to reach her. She suffers the loss of her parents, one through abandonment the other through a horrific death by their own gypsy tribe. Having learned what she really is, she barely escapes her people, who are now trying to destroy her. Finally accepting the truth she goes through her first change, with help from her newly discovered bond. Trying to find her father, whom she hopes will help explain what's happening as well as be accepted by his “family." This is a story of a young girl overcoming her fear of becoming a woman and learning how to accept and live with what she is. It's filled with a longing for family, love, and accepting what must be. I can't wait to read what adventures, dangers and maybe loves are in her future. Book 2, Legacy - Tairin's been hiding in plain site, amongst a gypsy tribe currently located in Germany, for the last 10 years. Hiding due to her mixed blood and if she's discovered she would be killed. In this tribe is Elliott the tribe's clairvoyant and seer of all the tribes. Elliott finds Tairin secretly listening to a meeting of leaders of the different tribes and they learn secrets about each other and just in time for a plan to destroy a Nazi location filled with prisoners. They discover a Nazi plan more dangerous and evil than the camps. Because of this they must all overcome centuries of prejudice and work with their enemy, the werewolves. The story is filled with action, danger, magic and of course terrific paranormal beings. The authors ability to write great stories during different historical periods and fantastical world building never ceases to amaze me. Book 3 Prophecy - As we've learned from the previous books, it can be extremely dangerous if her fellow Roms learned of her powers. She meets a wolf shifter Jamal and even though they try and fight it, they are drawn to each other. Trying not to tell you spoilers is hard, but know that the Nazi presence is strong and Ilona is caught and imprisoned with many of her fellow gypsies, Jews and others the Nazi's deem not of the correct race. Working along with the Nazi's are the evil vampires who are determined to destroy her and her family and friends for wiping out an entire group of vamps. We also learn more of Jamal's daughter and the man she loves ; and what happens when the Vamps try and control the group trying to destroy them. If the Roms and Shifters want to survive they must get past their hatred and distrust for each other. There's a surprise concerning Ilona; to discover what it is, as well as how she escapes from prison and what happens with the gypsies and shifters, when they have to work together to destroy their enemies, you'll have to get this great world building book with a touch of historical truth in it. We have mistrust, secrets, danger, lies, powerful magic and that's just within the group trying to work together. Book 4 Journey -This has been a surprising, action-packed, thrilling adventure into a dark historical, but paranormal adventure. We have new characters as well as ones from the 3 previous books. The group is trying to escape from the Nazi's, and their vampires, to where they hope the Celtic gods will help them strengthen their magic. In this book, demons have joined the vampires in trying to stop this group of gypsies, shifters, and a surprising power hidden by one of their own. We also have an unknown power held by an unsuspecting gypsy, who has just joined the group, as they attempt to escape from the evil that wants to destroy them. The world building in this series is just down right amazing and if one believed in the paranormal, extremely plausible. Do not pass up this great story
