THE AVEBURY LEGACY (aka Advent)

Duncan-Drake does a wonderful job with the characters in this book. They never descend into trite cliches or easy tropes. And in a genre over-flowing with bland, uninspiring stories, hers is a book with definite bite!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes their vampires to be scary instead of sweet.

Another very quick read, Natasha delivers a vampire-packed action story with likeable, but not too likeable characters.

An interesting take on vampirism, with an almost purgatory-like time in between being infected and turning, Natasha does a great job of linking magic, paranormal and religious beliefs into one complex plot.

Crossing paranormal with a more traditional adventure/epic fantasy quest plot also gave this number a brilliant twist. It mixed ancient mysticism with current technology, M/F and a hint of M/M relationships (but far less M/M than is normal for Natasha's stories) and even managed to mix in a bit of romance.

Give this melting pot of goodness a try!
