Liked It “Enjoyable vampire read as it's always to read something with a slightly new 'take' on the vampire genre.

“A little difficult to really get into, but you get to a point in the story where it's impossible to put down. Towards the end it was really fast paced with lots of twists thrown in! the downside for me was the build-up, I felt like it took too long to get really into the story.”

“The story was interesting. Declan was not your typical hero. The author has a way of changing your views on certain characters.

Book Blurb:
Desire is in the Blood...
Jillian Conrad never believed in vampires. But she’s just become a living, breathing weapon against them. Attacked by a desperate scientist, she is injected with a serum that was supposed to act as a deadly poison to vampires. And when the scientist is gunned down in front of her, his secrets die with him.
Declan Reyes is only half-vampire, but he hates them with all his heart. He knows that the poison in Jillian’s veins could finally destroy the undead kingdom. The serum also makes her blood irresistible to all vampires - including Declan, whose bloodthirsty traits are driven into a frenzy by her.
Driven by duty to protect her and by instinct to crave her, Declan takes Jillian into his shadowy world of blood and battle. But soon realizes his increasing need for her may be a different kind of hunger...
My thoughts:
Jillian Conrad is going about her day, making a coffee run for herself and a couple of co-workers, when her world is turned upside down by a strange gun toting man - who seems intent on ‘talking’ to the man Jillian is sharing the elevator with.
Used as a human shield, Jillian is cornered in an elevator with a madman jabbing a syringe in her neck. The next thing she knows the stranger shoots the man in the elevator and takes Jillian hostage.
Declan Reyes had no choice but to take Jillian with him. The scientist working on the serum had double crossed him, shooting it straight into the woman’s neck. Now he has to get her to his father before she dies....or the serum is lost.
Nightshade is a pretty good read.
I like Jillian - but really hope she toughens up a bit more now that she knows what’s out in the world - and what her new role in that world is going to be.
Declan has a lot to come to terms with - I like him and I’m looking forward to seeing how he handles everything that he’s found out.
I give Nightshade 3 out of 5 stars.

“A great book! It was hard to put it down. Unfortunately for me I was reading this at Christmas time and hard to get in as much reading as I would like. Looking forward to the next book in the series!”

Michelle Rowen has me hooked and invested in her characters to grab book 2 Bloodlust on it's release. Recommended for all those who like fangtastic fiction!”
“This book was not good to read. I had to skip sections of it where it went wrong. There was bad language on every page and Stuff that was not expected. The story though was interesting and is the only thing that kept me reading. I might read the next book if I get bored and have nothing else to do. ”
