For fans of the Crimson City series, your wait for further chills, thrills, and steamy nights in the City of Angels is over.  A DARKER CRIMSON, the newest Crimson City novel and number four in the series, continues the tale of the Demons of Orcus and their quest to breach the barrier between the worlds and cross into Crimson City.  All they need is the blood of Claudia Donovan.  But, luring Claudia into Orcus may take a bit of work.  After the Demons kidnap Claudia's daughter in an attempt to lure her into their domain, Claudia begs help from the ever-so-handsome Tiberiu Korzha, a vampire working in the underground with secrets all his own.  Claudia and Tiberiu's attraction is unmistakable, but Claudia knows that their time is running out to find her daughter and to escape the underground.  Will Claudia and Tiberiu be able to save Holly?  And what will become of Crimson City if they fail?

 

A DARKER CRIMSON is a real treat for us already hooked on the Crimson City series and a great introduction for new readers.  With her usual style and grace, Carolyn Jewel enlarges on the world of humans, vampires, and demons known as Crimson City.  As hard-hitting as any fiction noir novel, A DARKER CRIMSON is filled with dark heroes and heroines, raw emotion, and primal needs.  The heroes are out not only to save themselves, but also to save a city--and the world.  Their quest is fast-paced, edgy, and filled with emotional (and sexual) angst.  If your looking for a paranormal romance with a little more bite, then you're looking for this novel and the Crimson City series.
