  • The Love of a Good Monster | Eternal Reign, Night Blood 3

    The Love of a Good Monster | Eternal Reign, Night Blood 3

    What makes paranormal romance so addictive (in my opinion) is the thought that the monster, the very creature that would maim and rampage everything and everyone else, is on your side, fighting for you: “I’d been delightfully, delectably wrong. Despite all my efforts to distance myself from Dominic and his limitless reach by transforming my…

    Reflecting on witty banter, a dangerous hero, and a determined heroine

    The City Beneath was the third book I ever finished, but the first I published. As my debut novel, the hero (Dominic Lysander) and heroine (Cassidy DiRocco) will always have a special place in my heart. Writing their witty banter was especially fun because Dominic is such a dangerous, dark character and watching the sparks…

    New Favorite Paranormal Romance Author: Ali Hazelwood

    Paranormal romance was the first book genre I fell in love with when I started reading for fun in high school. Authors like Sherrilynn Kenyon, Laurell K.

  • Happy Easter | Finding a New Favorite Book

    Happy Easter! I’m so thankful for this gorgeous spring day and my first beach weekend of 2024! Some of my favorite days are the hours spent soaking in the sun’s rays, enjoying the salt and sand of the ocean breeze, and devouring a new favorite book.

  • Day Reaper | Goodreads Five-Star Review

    Day Reaper is book 4 and the finale of the Night Blood series. Although I highly recommend reading these books in order (each book picks up where the last ends) Bianca78 seemed to love Day Reaper all on its own. “This book was a gripping, action-packed urban fantasy from start to finish.” —Bianca78, Goodreads review.

  • Sweet Last Drop | Favorite Quotes

    One of my favorite quotes from Sweet Last Drop, Night Blood blood 2: “You’re being dramatic,” Dominic growled. “Drinking from you won’t kill you. You don’t need the entire cow to make a hamburger, remember? And neither do I, concerning you.” “Number one, I don’t like being compared to a cow. It’s insulting. And number…

  • Favorite Quotes | The City Beneath

    Writing the witty banter between Cassidy and Walker throughout The City Beneath was exhilarating, and this quote is one of my favorites: “This whole damsel in distress gig is a bad habit, DiRocco.” “Bad habits die hard,” I whispered. “I thought that was old habits.” “All my old habits are bad habits.”

  • Sweet Last Drop | Five Star Review

    This 5 star review is extra special because I actually met Alyssa in person at Jax Book Fest many years ago. My Night Blood Series seemed to instantly resonate with her. “This book was awesome! It was hard to stop reading; every page leaves you anticipating what is going to happen next.” —Alyssa S. I’m…

  • The City Beneath | Five Star Review

    The City Beneath will always have a special place in my heart because it was my debut novel. Thank you to the readers who have stuck with me on this journey! “One of the best vampire reads! There’s action, there’s violence, and there’s a damn good story. I can’t wait to read the rest of…

  • Day Reaper, Night Blood 4 | Book Reading

    Can you believe that in 2018, I published my fourth book? Day Reaper is the 4th and final installment in the Night Blood series. This story is about growth – between loved ones and within. I think Dominic sums it up nicely: “Night bloods cannot prepare for or against the transformation. Once we are transformed,…
