😍 Greetings, ARC team! 😍

Yep, the driver of the Elemental Bloodliners bus is a day late and a dollar short. Again. Seriously hoping my list of 15 quarterly goals will help me stay on top of things for the next 3 books in this series. It ain't easy to finish a full-length novel in less than a month. (Nobody to blame for that but me. 🤦‍♀️)

We're got 53 awesome readers on this new & improved ARC team, so it's full speed ahead! You'll find the blurb & info for Gift of Darkness down below, along with links to various review sites so you can share your thoughts.

Since the Elemental Bloodliners team has gotten quite a bit bigger than it was for the previous books in this series, do you think we can manage to crack the 50 review mark on Amazon? 👀 Let's try our hardest!

Gift of Darkness Info & Blurb

Gift of Darkness is the third book in my paranormal romance series, Elemental Bloodlines. It follows the love story of Doro and Amira, and ends on a HEA while dropping hints toward the next book in the series. Gift of Darkness includes the forbidden love and small town romance tropes, along with a really BIG secret that prompts one of the heroines to hand herself over (temporarily) to an undead Teuton priest. 😮

Lady Ilsa (from Gift of Air) plays a fun role in this story as a witchy crone, and Zehra (from Gift of Stone) makes a special appearance.

Take a peek at the cover art & blurb.

They say a Teuton witch shouldn’t desire an outsider. But love never follows the rules.

Doro, a Teuton witch of darkness, longs to offer her adopted sister, Amira, the same magical gifts she claims. But the Teuton priests in her Alpine village staunchly refuse to perform the ritual that would transform Amira into a witch. And Doro is certain there’s some age-old prejudice involved. When a secretive, undead priest offers to conduct the ritual—at a terrible price—will Doro dance with demons for Amira’s sake?

While Amira would risk her life to seize Teutonic magic, there’s something else she wants even more. For years, she and Doro have resisted the romantic pull between them, for fear of social repercussions. Once her magic awakens, Amira longs to marry Doro and bind their elements forever. But if the local priests won’t let Amira become a witch, none will agree to perform her wedding. Right?

Gift of Darkness is a suspenseful small town paranormal FF romance set in the Teutonic Fantasy Realm. It is Doro and Amira's complete story.

Of note: If you happen to read your ARC copy of Gift of Darkness super fast & find the link to the fourth book in the series after the epilogue, be aware that the link is not yet live.

Since I'm sending your ARC a little late (only 9 days before release day), I'll understand if you can't finish reading on time to share your review on May 10th. But I'm still hoping to see as many reviews as possible within the first week, so other readers will know whether they'll enjoy Gift of Darkness or not!

I'll send a quick reminder on release day, along with some social media graphics in case you'd like to tell your friends all about Doro & Amira's magical love story. 💖

Talk to you soon,
