Paranormal Romance | Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural

A woman's quest for the truth...A medieval icon that holds the clues...And an ancient book with the power to shake Christianity-and humanity itself.

London tour guide Caroline Clifford has never believe in vampires- until her uncle is brutally murdered at a Bulgarian archaeological site, and a vampire hunter who corresponded with him seeks her out.

Strange anagrams on her uncle's passport lead them to a cliff-top monastery in Greece, where a shattering revelation connects a relic Caro inherited to an age-old text on immortality-and an enigmatic prophecy that pits the forces of darkness and light in a showdown that could destroy all they know...

I dont think I have ever read research notes in a book but I liked it. It was very interesting to see what was being studied and results. :)

Normally I wouldn't read a vampire book, but you put a medical twist to the storyline and my ears perked up!! I definately have to read this book to find out what happens!! It sounds like a very plausible story, not like the everyday vampire stories that are on the shelves now. Thank you for taking the time to sound more like Robin Cook and write something that is sure to be a real page turner!! Have a wonderful Christmas!!

Oh, this story sounds really interesting! I love the journal

becoming more and more intrigued! This one is going on my

excited about it!

Those must be really interesting conversations that you have. Since I can't stand seeing any blood other than my own, I'd probably be miserable at the three jobs your family practices. But my sister is a nurse.
As for the book, it sounds very interesting to me, though biology was not even one of my school subjects; I preferred chemistry and physics. But as long as I don't have to see anything bloody, I'm ok.
(
Sigrun Schulz 1:25am December 3, 2011)

Loved the post; it was a great read. I can't wait to read this.

Those scientific facts must be in your blood. Your research seems like you had a fine time weaving genetics into the story. I love medical mysteries so thanks for keeping a pulse on the genre.
