A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Silvermage
Marie Treanor hits the New York publishing scene with a thrilling paranormal title...Blood on Silk, Awakened by Blood book 1. This is the first in what is playing out to be a must read series. I'm anxiously awaiting Blood Sin, which should be on shelves in April. Make sure to add this delicious book to your shopping cart and get started reading.
What makes this book so good you ask? It's multiple things from the smart heroine Elizabeth to the cruel and a bit evil Saloman. They have a chemistry that will pull you in. The author also gives us some great history and characterizations. The action scenes pull it all together and keep the pace rockin and the plot is solid. The only part I wish was a bit better was the end. There were some loose ends...but that could be because this is a series.

Book Blurb for Blood on Silk
Scottish academic Elizabeth Silk is spending the summer in Romania researching historical superstitions for her PhD. While she is tracing local foktales, one subject in particular sparks her imagination. His name is Saloman, legend's most powerful vampire, a seductive prince staked centuries ago. Now, in the ruins of a castle crypt, Elizabeth discovers the legends are real. Her blood has awakened him. Her innocence has aroused him. But Elizabeth unleashes more than Saloman's hunger.
An army of vampire hunters has amassed to send Saloman back to hell. Sworn to help - yet fearing Saloman's deadly blood lust - Elizabeth seeks to entrap him, offering her body as bait. But something stronger than dread, more powerful than revenge, is uniting Elizabeth to her prey. Caught between desire and rage, Elizabeth must decide where her loyalties lie...and what the limits are to a yearning she can no longer control.
