or he’ll stop protecting those she loves. Lucas tells her that Empaths were a Vampire’s biggest weakness before going extinct hundreds of years ago. While the Fey or a Werewolf might kill a Vampire, an Empath could enslave them, seducing or harming with emotions at will. The one detail he leaves out? Valerie is an Empath. And after 1600 years of an emotionless existence, Lucas wants Valerie like a recovering alcoholic wants a wine cooler. Can she keep those she loves alive, stop Lucas from munching on her, survive a fanged revolution and still find a way to have that boring, normal life she’s always wanted? Probably not, but boy is she gonna try! This is a full length novel and contains adult content.

Love is Darkness (Valerie Dearborn #1) by Caroline Hanson Review Love is Darkness is an excellent start of this exciting Series. I was asked to read only the first book but halfway through Love is Darkness I found myself already on Amazon ordering book 2+3!
4 - Stars
Caroline Hanson has written an excellent Series. Starting with Love is Darkness with the incredible Valerie Dearborn who wants nothing to do with the family trade. Killing Vampires. When She is pushed to go with her dad and friend she soon find herself in the hands of the one vampire she definitely didn’t want to meet in person and on top of that he makes Valerie an
offer she can’t refuse! The beginning of a lot of trouble, but also the beginning of Series that you can’t put down. Valerie and Lucas, the 1600 year old Vampire, and King to his kind are two amazing characters. Love is Darkness is written fast-paced and is really a page turner without fillers. Together with the paranormal beings like vampires, witches and werewolves, we all love and the hot romance thread through the story. An enjoyable read! And like I said before I liked it enough to buy the series. I recommend this book to all Paranormal and Urban fantasy lovers.

From our authors
Interview with James Ramsey Hi James, How long Do you like have you been writing your writing? characters into trouble or out of I have been writing in one form or another it? since I was a child. I often ran out of books to read, so I would entertain myself with my own made up stories. As I got older college, work, and life meant that my random scribbles dwindled off and stopped entirely. It wasn’t until I discovered fanfiction a few years ago that I felt the urge to write again. I found it to be a great way to sharpen my very rusty skills and develop the confidence I needed to put my own story out there. 22 paranormalcravings.com June 2013
Definitely writing them into trouble. The conflict is often the most interesting part, and I love to write scenes with a lot of action. Once I have the scene visualized in my head I can sit down and let the words flow.
Do you do a lot of research and plotting or do you just start writing?
I don’t do a huge amount of plotting; I like to let the story develop on its own. I always have a general idea of the storyline and how the story is going to end, but the journey to get there is often just as surprising to me as it is to the readers. But research is another thing entirely. I spend hours looking up information and details to better flesh out my characters and plot. The smallest detail can give me
From our authors
the biggest idea, so I generally don’t stop until I feel I have a pretty good feel for a topic.
Do you have any writing rituals? I am a bit of a coffee junky. I have a local coffee shop that is very used to me taking up space in their chairs for hours at a time. I always have my iPod and my iPhone with me. I can’t write without music. After that it’s up to the effects of too much caffeine and the writing gods.
Can you share a favorite sentence or scene from your novel?

up. The character is vulgar, aggressive, and vomit inducing, but at the same time the whole situation is so ridiculous as to make you laugh.
What are a few of your favorite books?
I am and always have been a voracious reader. My grandpa owned a book store for most of my life and books were a regular gift. Some of the ones that stand out the most though are the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean M Auel, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice and Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series.
What’s the last book you read and what did you think of it?
One of my favorite scenes has very little to do with the plot. It involves Joss being hit on in a bar. I admit the inspiration was taken Honestly, the only from my own life thing I am reading and experience with these days revolves a rather aggressive around research for attempt to pick me
upcoming books. Some of them are very dry like, The Dictionary of Mythology and the Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. Some are more interesting like Through the Faerie Glass which is Gaelic and Irish myths surrounding fairy lore, and One Percent: the Legend of the Outlaw Biker. I know that one doesn’t seem to fit, but that’s for me to know and my readers to find out about in the future. It’s actually a pretty interesting read.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you be? I kind of fell in love with Hermione Granger. She was a little bit of an outcast, nerdy in her love of books, and was always better friends with the guys than the girls around her. As an adult my inner teenager identified with her inability to fit in. And despite
her terrible taste in men, she was a strong woman, loyal to her friends, and could work well under pressure. She rode on the back of a dragon after robbing a bank! And who wouldn’t like to spend a few years at Hogwarts?
If you could have any supernatural power, which would you choose?
I would love to have the ability to talk to animals. Need to send a message or have something picked up? All you would have to do is ask. And you would never need a ride anywhere again. Think of all the information you could find out. No one ever sensors their words or actions around the family pet. Thank you James Ramsey !
Andromeda Rising (Celestial Series Book One) By James Ramsey Genre: Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Publisher: Independent, Release Date May 30, 2013 I should have been paying attention.

I always managed to track down a cheating spouse or the occasional runaway, but now it seemed more children were missing from the streets of Seattle and nothing I did worked. A cat jumped on my shoulder and jerked me from my exhaustion induced stupor. I spun into a defensive crouch only to see the cat had landed on the sidewalk behind me.

The arrival of the all-too-attractive and charismatic Arran MacCarrick puts her on the defensive when he begins to question how she really finds her artifacts…until an unknown foe attacks and Ronnie discovers that Arran has a secret as great as her own.
