Review: Death of Darkness by Dianne Duvall (Helyce is back!)

August 30, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

Review by Helyce - I’m back!Death of Darkness by Dianne DuvallImmortal Guardians #9Paranormal RomanceAugust 20, 2019 I have been waiting 8 years for Seth’s book.  Since book one in 2011, and in each book released thereafter, Seth-the self-imposed leader of the Immortal Guardians has remained a mystery. One of a small group of beings referred to as The Others, Seth defected from them years and years ago when he fell in love with a human woman. In present day, he leads his Guardians to Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts

July 12, 2018 by Helyce 1 Comment

Awaken the Darkness by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #8) Paranormal Romance July 10, 2018 Self Published Blurb:  He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he came to be there. Riddled with injuries, he can remember neither his past nor who he is. Nor can he remember what he is. But surely no mortal man could survive being buried deep beneath the earth. All he knows with certainty is that the soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above enables him to Continue Reading

Review: Shadows Strike by Dianne Duvall

August 26, 2015 by Helyce 2 Comments

Shadows Strike by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #6) Paranormal Romance August 25, 2015 Zebra Reviewed by Helyce From Goodreads: U.S. law enforcement agent Heather Lane can read minds. But not the future. The dream of battle and blood that recurs every night must be a fluke, some obscure terror from her own mind. What its significance might be, she can’t guess: an attack from seven psychotic vampires at once, only separated from nightmare by an eighth very different immortal. A Continue Reading

Review: Darkness Rises by Dianne Duvall

October 3, 2013 by Helyce 3 Comments

Darkness Rises by Diane Duvall (Immortal Guardians #4) Paranormal Romance October 1, 2013 Zebra Reviewed by Helyce Krysta has been hunting vampires for over six years. Her special ability to read the aura of a vampire gives her the upper hand when fighting. She’s got it down, playing the victim, drawing the vamps in and then turning the tables and fighting to the death. But one night, when she is over powered, a handsome stranger comes to her rescue. She’s sure he’s a vampire, but Continue Reading

Review: Predatory Anthology

June 25, 2013 by Helyce 2 Comments

Predatory by Alexandra Ivy, Nina Bangs, Dianne Duvall & Hannah Jayne May 7, 2013 Paranormal Romance Zebra Reviewed by Helyce I am not a big fan of anthologies. I’m usually disappointed because the stories are short and leave me wanting. Such was not the case with this offering. The strongest reads for me were the stories by Ivy and Duvall. Here is the breakdown (blurbs taken from Goodreads): Out Of Control by Alexandra Ivy Ph.D student Angela Locke has a crush on her sexy Continue Reading

Review: Phantom Shadows by Dianne Duvall

October 24, 2012 by Helyce 3 Comments

Phantom Shadows by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #3) Paranormal Romance Released: October 2, 2012 Zebra Reviewed by Helyce I was so excited to return to the world of Ms. Duvall’s Immortal Guardians that I started reading this book the moment it arrived from the publisher and I was not disappointed. It’s done so well, that I truly want to live in her world regardless of the threat of vampires! In this book, we get Bastian’s story. When we met him in a previous book, he was Continue Reading

Review: Night Reigns by Dianne Duvall

December 7, 2011 by Helyce 5 Comments

Night Reigns by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #2) Paranormal Romance December 6, 2011 Zebra Books Reviewed by Helyce Night Reigns is book two in Dianne Duvall’s Immortal Guardians series and for me it was all kinds of awesome. I wish I had read book one first, though, because it apparently ended with a cliffhanger regarding the heroine in this book, Ami. While it was clear early on that there was some question about Ami and what, exactly, she is-I’m happy to report that it is Continue Reading
