Book Description:
For fans of dark urban fantasy
comes a novel that questions why forbidden fruit is always the most tempting…
A vampire-themed masquerade party
isn’t really her scene, but Nora is sick of frat parties and bars. When she
meets Alec, the appeal suddenly becomes clear. It’s obvious that they’ve been
struck by the same intense mutual attraction, but Alec keeps his distance.
Intrigued despite herself, Nora pushes a little deeper — and discovers Alec’s
unimaginable secret…
Nora is not afraid of following
Alec into the darkness, but the choice is soon taken from her. Someone is
hunting her — someone tied to the secret and desperate to see it play out. But
when Nora finally meets her aggressor, she finds herself hopelessly drawn to
him. She needs to make a choice between the two men, but can she save them
both, knowing one is destined to die?
“This book is one of the best
paranormals I’ve read, and I’ve read a lot. Five stars hands down! I am proud
to pass it on to all of you. Buy this book, devour it and enjoy.”
Excerpt:
He sits in front
of me and brings me to his chest. Our flesh is hot and sticky where it touches
and I can’t stop the ache between my legs. His breathing is ragged and he
tightens his grip on the back of my head as he tries to slow it. I am hurt or
angry or frustrated, but I don’t know which. He runs his hands along my entire
body and I push against him, needing him and not knowing how to accept his
denial.
‘I want you,
Nora. I have wanted you since I saw you. You are gorgeous. However, there are
secrets that… Please understand, the steps that you want to take will reveal
things. This cannot end well for either of us. I don’t want to make you suffer,
but I am fated to suffer. Don’t make me bring you with me into the darkness. I
can’t bear to lose you.’I sense the pain
that grips him. The darkness that he speaks of sounds frightening, but I don’t
feel fear when I face him and meet his eyes. ‘I will follow you anywhere. Dark
or light. Stop trying to make my choices for me.’Our lips meet
again, but it is with doubt. Neither of us knows what will happen if we are to
move forward, but I want to have a chance to find out.My body is still
crying out for him but now my mind is calm. I want him, but I want him when he
knows that I’m ready for whatever that means. His hands touch me and his
caresses are soft. We both slow our breathing and I try to let my will match
his. When he pulls away, he gathers the picnic and looks at me with longing and
a hunger I do not recognize. It’s not sexual, but desperate. Almost as a dying
man looks in the last moments of his life.‘In three days,’
he says, ‘I will meet you again at the church where we first met. In the
meantime, I want you to look something up — and if you do not appear at the
church, I’ll know that what you found changed everything.’‘Okay,’ I say
warily. I’ll do anything he asks, but his fear scares me. What kind of secrets
can he possibly hold? Little right now could stop me from going to him in three
days.‘Find the name
Charles Samuels. He was an Oxford student in the 1960s. And then we shall see
how much of the darkness you are willing to face.’‘I’ll look him
up, but Alec, I’m going to be at the church in three days,’ I say.‘For your sake,
Nora, I hope that you’re not.’

Shannon’s Review
Sarah Daltry’s Bitter Fruits blew me away. It is a great
paranormal love story. She really did her research on this book and did it
right. So as the synopsis says this is a vampire themed book but with a twist.
Nora is a mythological lover. She is taken a course going
through some of a lot myths the majority of us have heard of. She goes to a
party which she hates doing and meets Alec. Alec is gorgeous. He is from
another time and place. I fell in love with him but his evasiveness drives me
insane. I was yelling at my kindle for him to just tell her. Quit leaving
without giving her everything.
So anyways there is also another guy in the book named
Caleb. This is Alec’s brother who is just if not even better looking than him.
He is a complete ass though to begin with. Him and his brother have issues with
each other. I know you probably thinking well what brothers don’t but once you
find out there background story you will be like WTF! NO! SERIOUSLY!
Yes I was like that reading this book. I loved every twist
and turn. I totally recommend this book. You won’t regret it.
I am giving this book 4 hearts.
Would love to win and read this book (Y)
