Story Behind The Book

As a lover of horror and vampires, I just wanted to writing something I would want to read. I am not a romance reader, so although there are romantic elements in this novel, the premise is based on more realistic & darker concepts than "vampire boy meets hot girl."

<strong><em>&quot;Darklands&quot; </em></strong>is a fabulous urban fantasy novel, full off violence, paranormal creatures and fabulous sexual scenes. I was captured from the first page. I had to finish the book to see how this was going to end.&quot; --Natasja's Book Blog<br /><br />This was an engrossing story from beginning to end... it draws you in deeply to the storyline and doesn't let go until the final page...  I highly recommend this to those looking for an exciting read...<br />B+<br /> --Words of Wisdom....from The Scarf Princess<br /><br /><span><em><strong><em>D</em>arklands </strong></em>was definitely a change of pace.  The tone was gritty, dark, and violent, with several cringe-worthy moments...</span><span>I would recommend <em>it</em> to fans of urban fantasy and horror, and vampire romance looking for something darker.  </span><span></span><span>  </span> --Book of Secrets<br /><br />Burgess was new to me and she definitely impressed me. I look forward to more of her work, vampire's specifically! --Leilani Loves Books<br /><br /><span> ...the characters are complex and multi-faceted; there's very little that's simple about this book. </span> --Bea's Book Nook
