TOUCHED

In TOUCHED (BOOK #2 OF THE SHADOW VAMPIRES), Keira Blaine is on the run with her new love, Cooper. Having just finished vanquishing the first wave of Shadow Vampires, the small town of Everstock is no longer a safe place for them. They have to flee, and search for a safe haven together. Keira can’t return home anyway, especially after running away from her parents to be with Cooper.
As they embark on their journey together, Cooper tells Keira about his long-lost mother and her tribe, The Torches, a race of positive vampires, rival enemies to the Shadow Vampires. Separated from her at birth, Cooper is determined to find his mother, and to follow the clues—and his magical ring—that will lead him to her.

Keira is determined to find out more about who she is becoming, too, and where her new powers are coming from—mysterious powers that are growing by the day. Is she a vampire, too? Where is her strength coming from? What is her destiny?

Keira and Cooper continue on their fantastical journey to mysterious islands in Lake Michigan. They manage to find Cooper’s mother and her tribe—but once there, Keira has to confront a beautiful young Torch woman, Tua, who falls in love with Cooper and is determined to make him her own. Keira is forced to face danger alone at a club in Chicago, and to go back home and face her family and her old high school—where she realizes that she is no longer welcome.

Worse, the Shadow Vampires won’t let them rest. They hunt them down, and enlist their most gorgeous soldier—the teenage Percy—to seduce Keira’s sister, Amanda, and have her lead them to her. Amanda, despite herself, falls deeply in love, and Percy finds himself feeling unexpected feelings of his own. Will he have to betray his tribe?

Keira and Cooper, too, are falling more deeply in love with each other—but life circumstances seem determined to pry them apart. Will their love withstand the test? Will Keira find out who she really is? And will the Shadows hunt them down before they can each fulfill their mission?

TOUCHED is Book #2 of the Shadow Vampires (following SAVED), and yet it also stands alone as a self-contained novel.

SAVED

In SAVED (Book #1 of the Shadow Vampire Series) Keira and Amanda, who are twins, suddenly move with their family to a new town, Everstock and start their senior year at a new high school. But though they are identical twins, the girls have different fates. Amanda, beautiful charming, popular is always sought out by everyone and has many girlfriends and boyfriends. Keira, who has always lived in Amanda's shadow is smaller, awkward and different. The kids shy away from her. Even her mother, who is close to Amanda, doesn't know what to make of her other daughter. Keira turns to books for solace and to find out about other worlds.

As before Amanda makes friends easily at the new school and quickly finds a boyfriend, while Keira is left lonely, an outsider. But very quickly, it is clear that something strange is going on in Everstock. The town and school are very divided. The popular rich kids act as if they own the school and have nothing to do with the other other kids, who are poorer and live in a different part of town. They look down on all of them. Not only are the kids muchmeaner here, but an unknown infection has gripped the town, with more and more people going to the hospital. Something here is terrible wrong.

However, things change suddenly during a terrible car accident as Keira drives Amanda to a party. Not only are Keira and Amanda's lives changed forever, but anentirely new dimension of life opens to Keira. She meets a young man she loves tremendously, receives new and mysterious powers and is able to grow in ways that no one can possibly understand.

In Keira's mysterious and fantastic journey, we see the battle of good against evil and the unfolding of what is truly possible when we can rise above everything we once thought we were.
