Book Description:
Let me tell you what it was to be
made vampire. It wasn’t birth. Birth implies pushing, tearing forth into the
light, screaming. Becoming immortal was to be pulled, to be tugged irrevocably
into darkness, and it was silent.
I should have fought, any person
should fight, but my mind had been filled with a hazy calm which forbade any
battle. Struggling had been the last thing on my mind, even when my bus arrived
and my assailant waved it on, dismissing my last hope of escape.
Yet my lack of rebellion was far
from the most unsettling part of the stranger’s control over me. The truth was
that the man could’ve asked anything of me and I would’ve complied, but he
didn’t need to vocalise his request. I knew instinctively what he wanted. I
sighed and surrendered myself as he held me against his front in a lover’s
embrace, tipping my head and willingly giving him access to my throat.
“One day you’ll understand,” he
whispered, his tone subdued. I’ve often wondered since if he was really talking
to me. Perhaps he’d been talking to himself, persuading himself that one day
I’d know and accept his reasons for what he’d planned for me.
I wouldn’t. I couldn’t. Because
when my fangs came in, my world altered irrevocably. It became somewhere dark,
somewhere filled with murder and blood, where magic was sinister and where even
my closest ally seemed more like an enemy... Even if he did make my heart skip
a beat.
About
the Author:
Angela grew up in a small pit
village in the county of Northumberland in England. Currently she lives in an
entirely different pit village in the same county, along with her husband and
their two children. She qualified in Architectural Technology and has worked in
construction, as well as running her own wedding stationery and graphic design
business. Currently Angela's time is taken up with chasing a three year old, a
four year old and a kid in his thirties who really should know better. Between
that she works, writes and draws.
She is currently writing the
final book in the Vampire Cohort series while editing the first book in the
series for publication, as well as trying to store up the hundred other stories
which are always racing around in her mind! While a love of writing has always
been part of Angela's life, in recent years it has become a daily requirement.
The vampires, werewolves, gods and fae just won't leave her alone!
Among Angela's other loves are
camping, kayaking, the Lake District and history. She is a bit of a sci-fi
geek, a bit of a Joss Whedon fan, and has such an eclectic taste in music it
would take pages to write down what she likes.
