A great new author for you to try out

I enjoyed reading this book and was glad I got the chance. One of my favorite things to read about is how people came to America, settled our country and to hear their stories. For me it was a bonus that this was based on the author's ancestors - it made reading the book that much more special. Rebecca did a great job on making the characters come to life and the descriptions of places and how things happened. You felt as if you were in England and then riding on The Swallow and then settling in not one but two new parts of the world. I loved Mary from page one and felt so bad for her for the struggles she faced in her marriage, I can not imagine going through that and feeling as if you were not loved by someone you loved so much and married for life. Barnabas made me so mad that I did not like him in fact I am not sure I like him now even. He was so stubborn and hurt from the loss of his first wife Ann that he could not see the great and loving woman he had in Mary. There were many times that I wanted to smack him and tell him to wake up and take a good look at what you are doing. I hope to read more about Jeremy in the coming books as I really like him a lot, to me he seemed so much kinder than his brother. I look forward to reading the next book in this series to see what happens next in Southold.

A new author to me and I was really pleased. I didn't really want to put it down and pretty much read until it was done. Plan to see if she has written other books.

A great first story from a promising author. The characters are well portrayed and it gives a new twist on good vs evil. Well worth the read

It was nice to meet a new set of characters in a new (to me) series of books who were unlike any I've run across before.

I'm looking forward to learning more about Amos Decker,Bogart & Jameson.

I thought this was an excellent first book for a new author. Lots of action, the good guys kick butt, the REMF's get put down, and the protagonist has his choice of beautiful women, what's not to like? Seriously, the book has a few flaws in character development but the flow is good and its eminently readable. I am looking forward to the next offering from this author

A new author to me.  I was held at attention, it was a story I didn't want to end, but couldn't put down. Fresh to me, not stellar in grand terms of the great authors, but take a chance out of your comfort zone, read the sample. I hope you enjoy.

Exciting debut novel that grabs you early on and doesn't let go. Likable characters with relatable characters.  The most surprising thing about this book for me was although it follows the overall formula for romance you are not sure how it will all come together.  I think this is rare for books in this genre.  I was willing to stretch my imagination a bit further for this Author as she had me caring about the characters and how they would come together.  I look forward to this promising new authors next work.

I do not normally read this genre of books but I have to admit that I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the next one. Even if you think this would not be your "cup of tea", I would really suggest giving it a try. Very good author and I expect more great things from her.

Not my typical genre but I loved the mix of the modern story and the historical aspects of the dual storyline.  The genealogy helped tie the plot lines together and paranormal aspects were well handled and did not ask for complete suspension of belief.  The writing is well paced and easy to follow.  The writer made you want to know these characters more and the behavior was consistent, even when there was a twist or surprise plot point.  I am eagerly awaiting the next story in the series.  Great new author to follow !!

Love Me to Death by Marissa Clarke is a wonderful start to a new series.  With a dash of urban fantasy, some high fantasy, some straight up science fiction, and a lot of romance, it twists and turns in all sorts of interesting ways.

Elena is your average, everyday woman until she gets killed in a robbery. Or rather, killed but not dead because along comes Nikolai and suddenly she isn't an average, everyday woman anymore. She's more, a lot more.  And it's up to Nikolai to figure out exactly who she is and why he is supposed to kill her when that is the last thing he wants to do.

Enter a crazy aunt who isn't an aunt, a secret sister, a rather interesting time warp man (who I want to read more about), a couple of very interesting vampire allies, even more interesting fey allies, and some power hungry villains, and you end up romping all over the place.

Love Me to Death is quite an interesting blend with a little bit tossed in for everyone's taste and a wonderful read.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

When I found out that this was the start to a new series, I wasn't sure what to expect and if I would like it. But having read other books by this author, I was looking forward to giving it a try, and I'm definitely glad that I did! This was a fun, fast paced book that I really enjoyed. Mara is a great female lead that I really liked. Nadar was awesome in a lot of ways, and I loved how he was with Mara. It was fun following their adventure, and I really loved their HEA. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for the next book.
