How TWILIGHT Should Have Been Written: Review

dear readers, 

Ever feel like the teen angst and whining in the Twilight was going make you crawl the walls?  Not that it is a bad series it just felt simplistic, unedited and a lacked passion.  The kind of love that when you shut the book it makes you swoon a bit.  I have the solution of you...

THE DISCOVERY OF WITCHES 
(All Souls Trilogy: Book 1) 
written by Deborah Harkness
genre: fantasy, paranormal, romance, historical, literature

4 STARS

An epic forbidden relationship between a powerful Witch and ancient Vampire. It had Daemons, Witches and Vampires picking sides - for or against mixing of supernaturals. Enemies from all sides...threatening notes, kidnapping, stalking and murders. That is just the first part of the long yet quick novel.
It is a well written story that takes you away to another world and holds you a voluntary prisoner till the end! There is no flat love triangle or disturbing relationships. The characters are lively and jump from the pages.  And, the love...there is longing where he tries to keep her away from his dark side, but the push and pull has passion behind it.
 Matthew should be added to the list of tasty vampire men - handsome, worldly and of course brooding.   Diana, the hesitant witch, is his love and a strong heroine.  Did I mention this is only book one in the series?

*The Discovery of Witches was published February 2011.

I am currently reading FALLEN (Book 1) by Lauren Kate another teen paranormal novel.  I am only halfway in the book and still in suspense.  This might be another good teen novel - will keep you posted.

love,
