Book Description (from the back cover): Revenge has never tasted so sweet…
As a young girl, Solis Burkes is raped at the hands of ruthless school bullies – an incident that haunts her into young adulthood. Then she meets Nacio, a strikingly handsome man who seems to know everything about her – including the painful past Solis hasn’t told anyone about. But what Solis doesn’t know is that Nacio has been with her every step of the way, protecting her ever since that fateful episode.
It’s a destiny he’s been working up to for the last 257 years.
Now, as Solis enters a dark world of vampires, voodoo, and passion, she’ll need all the protection she can get. Unbeknownst to her, those responsible for Solis’s rape have returned. Connected to the evil voodoo Priestess Aldicia, they’ll stop at nothing in their plans to spew violence and mayhem throughout the city. And an old family feud dating back centuries puts Solis first on their list of targets. But not is Solis can unravel the clues fast enough, and inflict her own brand of revenge.
Embellish mixes sexy romance with high-stakes paranormal intrigue for a keeps-you-guessing, fast-paced and savvy thriller, right up until the shocking finale.
General Review: Bringing a fresh twist to the popular vampire love story, Embellish is a vivid paranormal romance. Filled with creative twists and turns, Embellish will leave readers anxiously awaiting the next installment to this saga.
Likes: I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Each character is very unique and memorable.
Dislikes: This book has a lot of grammar and punctuation imperfections and there are a few inconsistencies throughout the story.

Closing Comments: If you can look past the inconsistencies and errors, Embellish is a great addition to the vampire trend. I’m looking forward to more from this author and the sequel to this book - Embellish 2: Justice Served.
Hmmm... never been much for vampires... thanks for the review, though! you rock; nuff said.
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm glad you enjoyed the book even though it had a few problems... It's no good when you have a good book and the editing just isn't all there. I haven't started this title yet, but I hope to soon. :) Great review, Crystal!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something my wife would like. She didn't like the Dead Until Dark books, but she loved Twilight. She also really likes Blue Bloods. I'll have to recommend this one to her. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteOoh... this sounds interesting. When there are lots of errors, it can really take me out of a book. Still, I might be willing to give this one a chance. Fantastic review, by the way!
