C.A. Worley loves all things fantasy and paranormal, especially when paired with a dose of humor. She's always been an avid reader of the genre and, in recent years, found herself writing it. One might say she's a little obsessed with the concept of fate, which is usually a central theme in her stories.
C.A. currently resides in the Midwest, but was born and raised in the South. She spends her days working from home and her evenings are spent shuttling her kids to and fro. Her dinners are subpar, but she makes a mean dessert.
When she's tired of living her sons' travel sports schedules, C.A. enjoys a glass (or four) of wine. She needs the liquid courage to click the publish button for her fantasy romance novels.
Her motto is, "Be Brave," and she tries to live it every day. It takes a healthy dose of courage to get through this thing we call life.
This was a good Vampire tale though it was pretty short (>75 pages) and could have used a few more details to make it better. The heroine, Alina is a Light Summoner which is basically a psychic that has extra blood and energy after getting a vision and that is causing her to have seizures. These wraith’s are after her so her friend Shane who is a witch helps her by introducing her to a powerful Vampire named Bastien.
Bastien turns out to be her mate but also knows what she is and how to help her. He knows what the Wraiths are and why they are after her. It is a good storyline but it all seems a bit too rushed. I think the author could go into some of these things with a bit more detail, especially the romance between the two main characters. But overall for a quick read, I did like the story.
RECIEVED ARC FROM AUTHOR FOR HONEST REVIEW!! Alina has been stalked by Wraiths. Vampires who have lived too long without being achored by a mate. She starts to have precognitions when she touches someone. Her friend Shane take her to meet Bastien a Vampire who can help her. He takes her blood and realizes she is his mate and explains to her what Wraiths are. But there is someone else who means Alina harm and even tries to kill her.
The story is pretty sexy for a Novella and has a lot storyline. With some thought it could be a full length book.
I found myself really enjoying this quick sexy read! The heat between Bastion and Allina was smoking hot. I almost wished it was longer, but I found that I really enjoyed how the author got right to the point without all the drivel some authors use to make a book pointlessly longer. I took 1 star away for editing errors; missed words, spelling mistakes, etc. Top notch story though!
