You have the darkness, they are evil, yet you can&#8217;t help fall for them&#8230;.If you like dark story, great world building, dark vampires, twists and a gripping heart wrenching story this is for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GLBT Bookshelf <\/strong>gives five stars: &#8220;I found the book irresistible; it\u2019s for the reader who likes a cross between the techno-thriller and hunt\/chase story&#8230;.The science is very credible \u2013 one of the facets of the book that makes it so different. The setting switches from Boston to the Potes region of Spain (Bay of Biscay coast, in the north), and back to Boston, and we get a close-up look not only at the vampire community that\u2019s trying to make a place for itself alongside humankind, but also at the ancient European community that\u2019s all about blood and the willingness of humans to succumb to addiction and self-destruction.&#8221;<br><br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universal Buy Link: https:\/\/books2read.com\/u\/bwQa7aAmazon: https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beside-Darker-Shore-Patricia-Esposito-ebook\/dp\/B0CKF5GGTS Reviews of Beside the Darker Shore The Paranormal Romance Guild gives a five-star review: &#8220;The characters were wonderful, there were secrets, lies, betrayal and surprises.
