This was a fascinating read and definitely a book for anyone who loves fantasy, romance and of course vampires. --Lit AmriReviewKIRKUS Reviews on Vampire Elite:An innovative take on the vampire mythos, fusing erotic romance with dark fantasy. Perhaps the most impressive element of this novel is its meticulously constructed back story featuring a vampire race born from the blood--and bloodlust--of a vengeful Egyptian goddess. To complement this new race, the angelic Amiti were created by Hathor, the goddess of love and beauty, to "unlock the love hidden within the vampires." Amiti and vampires were drawn to each other like magnets, and their union, called a blood-bond, promised to unlock revelatory powers in both participants. But the vampires, cautious of the Amitis' potential power over them, began hunting down and enslaving them, keeping the Amiti as bloodstock. The novel's main storyline revolves around two half-sisters, Simone and Arianna. The first Amiti queen, Istara, is their mother; Simone's father is Tor, the vampire king, while Arianna's is another Amiti. In a world where the two sisters should be mortal enemies, they're instead the best of friends. But can Simone save her sister from the enslavement that awaits her? The novel is powered by a cast of well-developed characters and virtually nonstop action and also includes subtle, significant themes, such as the innate capacity for every creature to love and be loved: "Love at its best...was a reciprocal flow of energy, but even when it was not flowing in, it could still flow out. Like a bird, love made its nest in every heart." That said, this novel will provide a fine meal for readers who enjoy literary fare with generous helpings of intrigue, action and supernatural sex.... From the AuthorWhat Makes Vampire Elite Different from Other Vampire Novels? VE is really about the interactions between vampires and the Amiti, an immortal race created to protect humanity from vampires. Amiti are literally made to be vampires' perfect blood source, the perfect complement to vampires in every way. The catch is that when Hathor created the Amiti, she wanted to make sure that vampires didn't completely dominate them, so when a vampire drinks from an Amiti, it creates a blood-bond that enables the Amiti to control the vampire. And, as we know, vampires like power, and hate to lose control, so before long they found a workaround: if they drained Amiti blood artifically, it lost its power. Soon the vampires were capturing all the Amiti they could, imprisoning them as bloodstock, and the free Amiti struck back--and the violence escalated from there. Now the remaining free Amiti are preparing to annihilate all the vampires. And the vampires, of course, are doing whatever they can to keep that from happening. Want to know how it all plays out? Welcome to the world of the Vampire Elite.Pages of Vampire Elite :
