DARK INNOCENCE by Madeline Pryce
A little horror with some romance thrown in, but be sure and have a cool drink beside you. You will need it after reading this steamy supernatural novella.
I have read and reviewed the first book – Dark Cravings.
My 5 Star Review for Dark Cravings
I am now reading Dark Innocence, then Dark Secrets for review, so stay tuned.
Be sure and check out the Release Day Blitz for Dark Secrets here.

“Just because I grew up in the life, doesn’t mean I was immersed in it. After my parents, first my mom then a few years later my dad, were murdered, my uncle and sister went to great lengths to shelter me. You have no idea how annoying it is to walk into a room and have everyone stop talking. They pretty much just silently strte at me until I turn around and leave. I’m twenty and they still do it.”
He cupped my cheek. “They just want to protect you, darlin’. There’s something about you, something innocent and fresh that brings out the protective instincts. I took one look at you, covered in blood and crying, and knew I was a goner.”

SYNOPSIS
Book 1.5 in the Dark series…
Hannah Grey will do anything to escape the tortured memories haunting her. Every breath brings back the pain, the fear and the unbearable knowledge that she’ll never be the once-perfect girl everyone thought her to be. When the self-destructive fog of drugs, alcohol and meaningless sex starts to clear, Dante, a lion shifter sexier than sin itself, emerges through the darkness ready to rescue her for the second time in so many weeks.
In the safety of Dante’s embrace, Hannah allows herself to become the woman she’s always wanted to be–smart, sexy, capable and empowered. His every touch electrifies. His hot, hungry kisses set her senses ablaze. As Dante masters her body, Hannah finally finds the strength to master her fears.
Perfection shatters as threats from a mysterious vampire escalate from anonymous phone calls to violent encounters. When Hannah’s enemies unite, placing both her and Dante in mortal peril, she’s going to need her newfound strength to face the coming darkness and save the man she loves.
******A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave******

I remember this scene. Great choice Sherry. I didn’t get my 56 done. Maybe will do it later!
I know what you mean. Sometimes there is so much going on you just have to pass on something. I love this scene, because I am so curious to find out Hannah’s story.
I wasn’t planning on reading this book, but I kind of want to now after reading “covered in blood and crying.” And, doubly so now seeing that you gave Dark Cravings 5 stars. Happy Friday, Sherry!
The things this girl goes through……..I just have to know and hope that she will be happy. Glad to see you Carmel and have a fantastic weekend!
The last two weeks I have had to fix your link in the Linky.
Where the Linky asks for your url, you have not been putting the whole url. It is hard for people to visit if you do not correctly enter your link. Please take care to check before hitting enter.
As for this series, it’s new to me. The snippet you posted for your 56 sure draws you in though.
Happy weekend!
Sorry Freda. I will be more careful. I thought I was just copying and pasting, but I will double check it. Thanks and have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing this series and for visiting my blog.
My pleasure Catherine. Nice of you to visit.
Horror AND romance? You’ve sold me. I haven’t heard of this series, but it sounds really good.
Thanks for sharing!
I am loving it! Thanks for stopping in and commenting, Keira. Have a great weekend.
The author’s name sounds so familiar but I can’t remember which book I’ve read of hers. Great excerpt! Thanks for sharing!
Dark Cravings was first given to me under the title Blood Lust Rising by Fayth Devlin. She dropped out of sight and came back strong with the Dark Series by Madeline Pryce. She has Crimson Sins out and I hope to get to that real soon. Anything ringing a bell? Oh, well, it will come to you. ^_^
I haven’t read this one but I want to now!
Do I have to read the whole series or can I just start with this one?
My BB & 56
The first book is about Ella and Micah. Ella is Hannah’s sister. This story is about Hannah and Dante. It is a novella that I believe you could read on its own, but the series is worth the time. Thanks Fiza for commenting and I hope you have a great weekend.
Love the cover arts! Thanks for sharing, this is def new to me 🙂
It is pretty BAD, in a good way. ^_^ Happy to share someone new for you.
