Powell's Staff: New Literature in Translation: June 2022 (0 comment)
June is one of my favorite months, especially here in Portland, where the weather can be beautiful and sunny one minute and a gray downpour with threats of thunder the next. It’s important to always be prepared to take advantage of those rainy afternoons, with a good mug of tea and a great book. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the books in translation released this past month....

Publisher Comments

Tynan MacGillivray is Cait Sith, a casteless hunter whose kind stalks the fringes of a vampire society dominated by the four pureblood dynasties. Only his prowess as a ruthless killer has set him apart, elevating him to the inner circle of Arsinoe, queen of the ancient vampire house of Ptolemy. But all he has gained over the centuries of his life is threatened as an invisible evil is unleashed upon the noble house he serves, fracturing fragile alliances and sparking talk of all-out war between the vampire clans. It falls to Ty, most favored hunter of the queen, to find the one mortal who may be able to save the Ptolemy: a Seer. But finding one of that ancient bloodline is far more difficult than anyone anticipated, and time is running out...until Ty meets Lily Quinn, the only woman he has ever struggled to resist, and the one woman he is forbidden to have.

Lily may be exactly what Ty needs, a mortal Seer whose visions will allow the dynasty to root out the source of all its troubles, and take revenge. But as Ty carelessly turns Lily's well-ordered world upside down, he soon discovers that the beautiful professor is much more than she seems. For Lily bears the mark of a dynasty long dead, and her secrets threaten to rock the very foundations of the vampire underworld. Together, Lily and Ty will discover whether loyalty is more important than truth, whether love can flourish in the shadows of betrayal, and whether blood really is destiny.

Review

"Castle demonstrates considerable skill in crafting a tale that offers readers a conflict-ridden forbidden love interlaced with political intrigue and betrayal . . . The author's world-building is intricate and cohesive . . . plenty of action . . . I like Castle's voice and look forward to reading more of her work."--USAToday.com on Midnight Reckoning

Review

"[Dark Awakening] grabs you from the first page and the next thing you know you've been reading for several hours immersed in Lily and Ty's world. I adored this story, was sorry it ended so soon and have put the next in the series on my wishlist already. Fans of the paranormal romance, urban fantasy and vampire genres should put this on their wishlist."--BittenByParanormalRomance.com

Review

"I am always thrilled when I find a new spin on the vampire mystique, and Dark Awakening certainly fits the bill. An amazing story of ancient dynasties, class divisions, curses and blood feuds, this book has opened new and exciting views into vampire worlds...The problem with such a new and detailed book is there is so much information I want to impart, but the most important thing I can say is READ THIS BOOK."--You Gotta Read Reviews

"Castle put a fresh spin to her vampire series that I hadn't seen before. The world building was superb and I found myself captivated from the very first page. I HIGHLY recommend this one and found this to be a total and complete book seduction. Yay! I've got another author to add to my ever growing list of favorites. I am so looking forward to the sequel."--SeducedByABook.com

Review

"Kendra Leigh Castle has set the stage for a phenomenal new vampire series which will take the paranormal genre by storm. DARK AWAKENING has one of the most interesting and well-thought out vampire hierarchies that I have encountered in a vampire novel. Vampire novels just don't get any better than this!"--FreshFiction.com

Synopsis

Enter the world of the Dark Dynasties . . .

For centuries, shapeshifting vampire Tynan MacGillivray has prowled the night as an outcast, valued only for his ferocious hunting skills. When a feud among the immortals escalates into all-out war, he is ordered by his ruthless queen to locate a Seer-a human woman with a special gift-who can secure victory for their clan. Ty's search leads him to a quiet New England town, but once he has the Seer in his grasp, her touch awakens within him a hunger like he's never known . . .

Lily Quinn has always been different. Since childhood, she's had vivid nightmares and an eerie sixth sense. When a sexy, silver-eyed stranger demands her help, Lily plunges into a new world of danger and sensuality. With Ty, she discovers sizzling passions she cannot deny and powers she cannot control. Soon, it is clear that Lily is much more than a Seer-she holds the key to ancient secrets and unthinkable destruction. But will a vampire's vow of eternal protection stop these evil forces . . . or unleash her dark destiny?
