Second Coming (First Fruits #2) by Amanda Carney. ARC review.

There is no sanctuary without him.

At last, she has it all. Everything she thought she’d never have. Acceptance. Friendship. Love. Parsley Walker is finally home. Allswell, the magical refuge for supernaturals, is all she’d imagined and more. She’s making friends. Learning not to hide her telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Learning not to fear. And most importantly, planning a future free from that ever present sense of foreboding with the vampire she loves. Her life, the life she was always meant for, is about to begin.

Then she gets the letter that turns her new world upside down.

Jesse Linwood has just done the hardest thing he’s ever had to do—turned his back on the only girl he’s ever loved. With Parsley safe in Allswell and believing he’s dead, Jesse returns to his sire, Patrick—the ancient, wicked vampire who lusts for Parsley’s blood—to convince him she’s somewhere he’ll never be able to find her. To eliminate the threat to her once and for all, even at the expense of Jesse’s own life. Because love isn’t about the heart. Love is about the soul and how much of it you’re willing to lose.

This book includes erotic scenes and graphic violence.
 




This is the second book in the series , and must be read in order because it picks up where the first ended.  Each book has an ending but makes you want to run and get the next right away.
Jesse is a vampire and his evil sire sent him to find the beautiful telepath Parsley so he could feed on her. Jesse can think of only one way to protect the woman be loves. He must send her away.
Parsley agrees to go to the fairy realm of Allswell for safety until Jesse can join her there. She doesn't know vampires are no permitted entry.
Wow!!  What an action packed story. Our hero must face his psychopathic sire after defying him. Our heroine discovers all the special folk in Allswell.  That part is the lightest part of the book.  Some wonderful characters there. However the evil must be faced sometime.  The resulting battles are epic.
A very exciting book with more to come in the series.

First Fruits (First Fruits #1) by Amanda Carney. Paranormal Romance Review


Reading minds can be dangerous. 

Parsley Walker can hear people’s thoughts and it’s made her a target. As a natural born telepath who’s also telekinetic—two things that can be disturbingly lucrative in the wrong person’s hands—she’s learned to hide who she is. To be always moving and never at ease. To run from that inevitable moment of discovery. She’s a nomad in a waitress’s uniform. This is how she survives. 

Until him. 

Jesse Linwood is a vampire with a problem. An automaton with sharp teeth, he was sent to evaluate and ultimately abduct her. What he doesn’t expect is the way her blue eyes turn him inside out. Stalking her wasn’t supposed to make him feel anything. She was supposed be like all the others. He begins to unravel and, in the end, makes the choice to pick a fight he knows he cannot win in order to save her life. 

This is the first book in a planned series and DOES end in a cliffhanger. It also includes erotic scenes and graphic violence.


This book has got a cliffhanger ending,  our mean author has left us begging for the next part. Wicked Woman .l.o.l.

Jesse Linwood is a vampire,  his sire is particularly nasty and invades Jesse's mind to make him do unspeakable things. His sire likes to collect the blood from people with special talents. Normally Jesse captures them for him with no trouble, but this latest woman has a strange effect on him.
Parsley Walker has lived most of her life running from one town to another. Trying to keep her abilities hidden. She is  telepathic and telekinetic. A former Foster father may be hunting for her, but he turns out to be the least of her problems.
This is the first part of the story, but there is plenty to get your teeth into. Some very nasty vampires who use sex as a punishment and keep a cellar full of bottled blood from the people they drain the way we would fine wines. Our heroine is not as helpless as you might think. Our hero is sexy ,but emotionally damaged.

 I now need the next book as soon as possible. I loved it.
