Snaking an arm beneath her shoulders, he lifted her— --and plunged his teeth into the vulnerable hollow of her neck. Ecstasy flooded his veins. He hadn’t tasted blood in so long, the beast fully awoke. Hungry. So hungry.
Trapped within a slumbering spell for 700 years, Edeen is awakened by the venom of a handsome vampire--a creature of darkness. Yet she discovers that in 1941, there are worse evils than vampires, when a supernatural Nazi seeks her legendary empathic abilities for Hitler's greatest tool.
“Clover Autrey’s books are perfect for the time-constrained reader. They are a quick read jam-packed with action, adventure and emotion.”
A high school English teacher by day, Clover Autrey writes the kind of stories she loves to read; strong and smart characters who are willing to fight for what they believe and the people they love. She is the author of the HIGHLAND SORCERY series and the CHAPEL PINES series with a new series about ARMY RANGER BILLIONAIRES coming soon.
Clover has served as the president of the Keller Writers Association and the North Texas Romance Writers of America.
Inspired by her love of Louis L'Amour historical romantic heroes, Clover (yeah, that's her real name), packed up and moved to Texas where she found a real live Texan of her own. She's been there ever since where she and Pat (who else would a Clover marry but a Patrick?) listen to the coyotes howl at the trains each evening.
I can not believe that I am damn near giddy over this series. THERE IS NO SEX FOR GOD'S SAKE AND I DIDN'T MISS IT. I am writing in caps because I need to remind future me that highlands can be awsome without sex.
Edeen is the sister of the family of magically gifted highlanders from the first book. She has been sleeping for 700 years and is awakened by the bite of a vampire that finds her in a cave. She finds herself without her beloved brothers and awakened during the height of Nazi power. It's a fast moving story with tons of meat for a long novella. I didn't want it to end. I loved every chacter Edeen came to befriend especially her vampire. Wait, is he just a vampire???? It's craziness what Ms. Autrey has done with a lean cast and maybe 200 pages.
I highly recommend this one to lovers of time travel and highlanders. Like the first book, this one ends abruptly but not as a hard cliffhanger. It seems that Ms. Autrey is going to write about the fate of the four siblings and bring them together in a final book. I hope she writes fast because I already miss Edeen and really want to know what became of the brothers.
★★★★★ This is the 2nd in the Highland Sorcery Series. Edeen is in a magical slumber. When her brother could not wake her, he made sure she was hidden away in a safe place. Roque is a very special vampire. He is the only one who can awaken the sleeping beauty. Many hundreds of years have past while Edeen has been sleeping. Roque Woke her to a world at war. It is 1940 dark magic has a hold. Trolls, Gremlins and Vampires are well known by the people. There is an evil Nazi and his henchmen after Edeen for her special abilities. Roque is determined to save her from the monstrous Nazi who has tortured him for years. This would definitely have been a very scary world. So someone has to go back in time to fix it. This story has a very unusual hero. Our heroine I think has lots more to do before this series is done.
I loved this book, a wondrous romp through time, with dragons , vampires, empaths and trolls. In no way could I be persuaded to put this book down, read into the night, only falling asleep because I knew the next in the series was waiting for me on the morrow.
Well written and gripping. Quickly got and kept my attention. I gave it four stars because it left me wanting a little more. I like the characters and the narrative, I just want a bit more to the story. I need to find the others in the series and get them! (Copy won here at Goodreads. Thanks!!!)
Book two in the Highland sorcerers series, this one with a vampire-dragon-man and the Scottish sister, who is an empath, set during WW Two. Good continuation of book one, with winning characters. Total suspension of disbelief and complete buy-in to a monstrous world needed.
I love books that deal with time travel and all the different fantasy characters. Vampires and empathise, healers and sorcerers, shape shifters and witches. Looking forward to the next book.
I loved it. I expected this to be a romantic smut book. However, this book is all about clean romance. I couldn't put it down so I read all four books. So good.
