Giveaway & Review: Dark Stranger by Susan Sizemore

Susan Sizemore's latest release, Dark Stranger is not a continuation of her Primes Series, well sort of. There is a very cool twist, the story is being read by the Vampire Book Club, which is an interesting approach really as we are once again graced with the Vampire General Doc (Matthias Raven), and the stunning Empire Princess Zoe. Zoe feels that he duty comes first and is torn with the uber sexy vamp Doc comes into her life. Things is it is forbidden and just plain unheard of for Vamps to get entangled with anyone else but another vamp. But Doc is living among the humans and he is the leader among the humans in a prisoner of war camp that Zoe finds herself trapped in. I loved their chemistry and the fact that this is set way in the future to Sizemore's Primes series, so it's a little off the beaten path if you are Primes fan, but just as delicious. There are lasers and aliens and treason, all the fun stuff to go along with a wonderful love story of two who are forbidden to love. But while in prison Zoe's status us discovered and someone willing to kill no matter what is determined to do just that. Her only protector .... you got it, Doc. Although I did enjoy the book thoroughly I have to say it was a little slower in the beginning and hard to wrap my head around all the characters and "futuristic" names. But with that being said, it was most definitely a quality read!

"New York Times bestselling author Susan Sizemore presents an exciting twist on her popular Primes series: the novel read by the one and only Vampire Book Club! Share the thrills as you discover a hidden world where passions and fear run high, and a vampire General and an Empire princess together find illicit, unquenchable desire....
A twist of fate made Zoe Pappas heir to the Byzant throne. Bound by duty and devotion to keep the Empire safe, Zoe is captured while on a secret diplomatic mission and sent to an underground prisoner-of-war camp. In this strange, shadowy place, residents are governed by fellow inmate General Matthias "Doc" Raven, whose powerful magnetism rouses an urgent desire in Zoe. But the intensity of her attraction is matched by her surprise at discovering that Doc has a secret of his own: he is a vampire.
Zoe's presence puts everyone in the camp in danger. Doc knows it, and knows too that Zoe's royal status makes it impossible for her to bond with a vampire. The only way to save her is to help her escape, and lose her forever. But some fires are impossible to quench, even when following your heart is the ultimate taboo...."

I've read Sizemore's Prime Series so the fact that it's kind, of sort, of part of the series, but not, makes it very interesting. :)

About Me

Brande
I am a working mom with an addiction to coffee, chocolate, and books.. I read an average 3 to 4 books a week to escape reality. I have setup this site to organize my own thoughts and help others when choosing what to read. Since I can be a dimwit at times I decided to keep a record of the books I read. This record turned into reviews so I would remember if I liked the book I forgot I had read. I am not particularily funny and my grammer sucks so please don’t expect much. Basically I don’t know jack about many things, but I do know what I like in a novel and what makes me want to spend my money on an author.
