"Magnificent" ★★★★★
When Shakira leaves her parents and drives away to find a new life for herself, she is completely unaware of just how complete that change will be.
‘Love Bites’ is a story of learning to deal with change, but also one which emphasises the power of the struggle for supremacy between light and dark, and goodness and evil. Shakira grows and develops from a young woman fully aware of the fact that she doesn’t fit in to someone who must accept and learn to embrace her origins in order to survive.
The story is cast with well-developed characters, none of them perfect but many of them very likeable. Shakira herself is developed not only through her experiences and relationships, but also through how she deals with what is imposed upon her. There is more than one lesson for all of us in this, and the reader is challenged to consider their own choices and ethics in the way they communicate and relate with others.
The narrative is well-crafted, weaving together a number of plots and subplots, various settings and significant challenges for the characters that often leave the reader holding their breath without even realising. The dialogue is engaging, reflecting both the author’s and the characters’ intelligence and adding further depth to the characters and to the action of the story. Clark’s design and development of characters, including a new and unique species of creatures, and of rich and varied settings, is elegant and complex, paying careful attention to detail without causing any wordy distraction for the reader. The pace of the story is effective without being overwhelming, making this book an absolute page turner.
There is some adult content so it is not recommended for younger audiences, but ‘Love Bites’ is sure to please adult lovers of both fantasy and paranormal reads.
"Action Packed Paranormal" ★★★★★
Shakira has never felt like she belonged while growing up. She decides to leave her past behind and put down roots elsewhere. When she arrives in a small Welsh community she feels like she has reached her destination.
Finding employment and living quarters, she starts her new life. Soon she feels the pull to a forest path where soon revelation after revelation is revealed.
Shakira is much more than she could ever have imagined and she encounters her soul-mate, Pryderi but can love conquer all?
A wonderful mix of fae, shifters, vamps, and sorcerers make this an action-packed paranormal. Highly Recommended!
