Blurb: Medusa’s Island is the perfect vacation spot with beautiful beaches, quaint shops, friendly people . . . and a terrifying vampire who may be stalking the locals.
When two young women are found dead from no apparent cause, but with expressions of terror on their faces, Chief of Police James Winchester and Emma Gray, who survived a vampire attack years ago, fear a monster from the past has returned to make Medusa its feeding ground. He may be hiding even closer to home than they realize.
Passion flares between James and Emma as a storm isolates the island. They have no choice but to face the horror of a dark killer who lives off the fear of his victims.
When Emma becomes a target once again, will the love she and James feel be strong enough to save them? Will James’s secret destroy them? Or will the monster finally finish what he started years ago?
Thoughts: This book was a bit of an odd mish-mash of genres and storylines and it just left me a little unsure how to feel about it. I love paranormal reads and vampires are one of my favorite types, but this had a different feel to it…it definitely didn’t feel like your typical paranormal romance or one I would have normally picked up. I can see where the mystery part kind of comes into play, but I feel like for readers of that genre there is a bit too much paranormal elements to it. It is a bit of a ‘who done it?’ type of book with a stalker-ish vibe, but there are just so many other elements to it that it’s hard to really pin this one down. It also felt like a bit of a part of a series for me, and that distracted me a bit at times.
Once, you start it, however, you just kind of have to see where it goes, so I did wind up finishing it, but I am a bit conflicted on how I felt about it. Not a re-read for me, or an author I’ll be hunting down more of, but it is a pretty decent read overall.
