Anna Strong has spent the last year of her death adjusting
to, and coming to terms with, her vampirism. She has
learned to intermix a "human" life while hiding the fact
that she is a vampire from her family and business partner,
David. But now that the eve of her "becoming" is upon her,
suddenly she is faced with strong vampire urges, powers she
doesn't understand, and nagging rumors that she will become
the Chosen One on her one year anniversary.
When Anna is attacked in her own garage, her vampire
boyfriend, Lance, talks her into getting away to his home in
Palm Springs. There, Anna learns of Lance's origins and
meets his sire, Julian Underwood. The vile aura that she
senses from Julian is a warning that she must get
away but, before she can leave Palm Springs, she is
viciously attacked again. This time, they also threaten
Lance's life. Anna's fear that an old enemy, Warren
Williams, is trying to force prophesy on her leads her to
learn all she can about what she does not want to become.
But when Warren goes missing, Anna discovers that
the real threat is closer to home, and dangerous to her
both physically and emotionally. Anna finds she must face
what she has been denying all this time and, for the first
time, do it alone.
CHOSEN is the sixth book in the Anna Strong Chronicles by
Jeanne Stein. With each book in the series, not only has
Stein's characters become stronger but so has her writing.
Anna is being immersed deeper into the vampire world in this
installment and she is facing internal struggles between
what she was (human) and what she is now. The sex is on the
erotica side, so don't look for touching love scenes or
sensuous foreplay. These are vampires, and Stein shows this
through the animal like spontaneity of the sexual act. This
is not a paranormal romance, though some may try to
classify it as such. It is a hard hitting urban fantasy with
a hard hitting female lead.
Anna Strong's primitive vampire instincts are getting harder
to control. And a new enemy wants to take advantage of that
fact, for Anna has been chosen to shape the destiny of all
vampires-and all humans.
