The first three books in the series follows Coraline Conwell who finds herself dropped dead-center into the largest know vampire clan. Though they claim to want to protect her, her past experience with vampires has left her terrified of their kind. So yeah, fun times. Keeping His Siren is a spin-off from the original series and is a little lighter in attitude. It centers around Cortez and his clan, and all the antics they get up to. Q – What order should I read the books in?/b> Each book can be read in any order and the reader can still follow along, but for the full experience, I suggest the following sequence: Keeping His Siren can be read at any time, as it was written to be completely separate from the original series. Below is the publish order. - A Wicked Hunger - A Wicked Night - A Wicked Desire - Keeping His Siren Q - So, why should readers give these books a try? This series is action-pact, seductive, heart-breaking, and filled with suspense. Paranormal romance fans are ravenous—I know, because I am one—and my Creatures of Darkness series hits the spot. Readers have said my world building grabs their emotions from the start and doesn’t let go. It’s a series that draws you in and makes you long for more. Readers who enjoy romance, alpha males, and intricate story telling will want to take this epic journey. Q - What inspired the world you created in Keeping His Siren, having it take place in the future? I’ve always been interested in sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, and mythology. I thought about the kind of romance novels I enjoy reading and what I liked about them: the idea that there could be a supernatural world within our own, veiled from sight? It intrigues my imagination. I often imagine different futures and certain events might affect our world, and since I love the supernatural world, it only made sense to incorporate vampires. My futuristic world also contains witches, succubus, incubus, familiars, shifters, and many other creatures of the night.
