Review
"
Queen of Shadows pulled me in... Dianne Sylvan's rich, dark, sexy re- imagined Austin is filled with people I want to visit again and again. Dianne Sylvan's got voice, doesn't miss a beat, and rocks it all the way to the last note. Sit down. Shut up. And enjoy the show. It's intense, dark, sexy, with just the right touch of humor. Looking for a new addiction? Go no further."
-Devon Monk, author of Magic on the Storm
"Queen of Shadows grabbed me on the first page and didn't let go. Miranda, the heroine, is vulnerable and gutsy, with magical abilities even she doesn't suspect. Vampire David Solomon is as powerful and heroic as he is deliciously seductive. Dianne Sylvan has created an original take on vampires that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'll be looking for her next book with great anticipation. She's a skilled and talented storyteller who definitely knows how to deliver one hell of a book!"
-Angela Knight, New York Times Bestselling author of Master of Fire

She draws the reader not only into the story but into the very marrow of someone who is starting to question [her] grip on reality. If you aren’t familiar with the Austin area, you will be once you turn that last page… Queen of Shadows concludes with a great flourish, leaving the reader euphoric.”—Sacramento Book Review
