<p>"<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Purifying and unique and very dark but very good and could also also allow people to relate by those who feel trapped in the darkness a lot." ~brenda burns at Amazon</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">"</span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;">I LOVE Rayea's story and the great spin Ally puts on the "Vampire" themed books. This story is a little bit of everything and a great yet "short" start to an awesome story line! Go Rayea! :)" ~Laura </span>McDermaid at Smashwords</p>
<p>"<span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;">The vampire has been overplayed alot in movies, books and tv but this is the first of a vampire from hell and I loved Rayea as a character she has it all." ~lfsims</span></p>
<p>"I am already completely enthralled with the plot and characters in this story. Absolutely the best good versus evil fiction I have ever read. The idea that satan would have a child rebel against him, and love man kind, thats genius. I hope to see very much more from this author and especially concerning these characters and storyline. Thank you for the free short, I will gladly pay for more work of this superior quality. Well done!" ~atrophyman at Barnes & Noble</p>
<p>"I thought I would never get in into vampire books, BUT after reading series from Christopher Buechleler and Nicky Charles and Ann Rice, this author is getting me even more hooked !! I normally read Grisham and Patterson, but I cant get enough. This series is making me into a vampire reader with the thirst for more. I craved more !! Just bought the next book A Vampire Among Angels in the series.So I just wanted to say I enjoy the style of this book, it reminds me of the humor of Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum gal. Thanks you for the humor and great writing, I feel I am tagging along with Blick and Rayea." ~Anonymous at Barnes & Noble</p>
