Deidre kept me turning the pages and I got to the point where I could not put the book down because I had to know what happened next. There is adventure, passion and mystery in the book and that is just the type of books I love to read. The best part is that this is the first book in the series A God of Midnight Novel.
Book two Red Kiss Came out June 2009
