DUSK is the story of Alex Deveraux. It begins with Alex rushing home to say goodbye to her dying father. Her mother died of a heart attack the previous year, at least that’s what Alex believes. She’s been depressed and living in Italy, trying to cope with her loss. Alex returns to New York to discover her world is not what it once seemed.

Shortly after the death of her father, Alex’s brother introduces her to a world their parents kept hidden for twenty eight years. A world in turmoil. She soon discovers that her mother was the Fae Queen and upon her death, Alex inherited the throne. Her absence has made her people vulnerable and divided. Vulnerable because the assassination of her mother has broken a long standing treaty with the local vampires and divided because the people have been left without a leader during this time of war. To make matters worse, the vampire king just happens to be Alex’s half brother. As the oldest child, he believes he should inherit the Fae kingdom, not Alex. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to claim his kingdom and destroy his sister.

Amid her struggle to embrace the unbelievable, Alex must accept her role as leader of an entire people. As she attempts to understand this new world, she soon discovers she has special gifts. Alex immediately realizes she must develop and hone these powers if she’s going to protect her people from extinction. If that wasn’t enough Alex is falling for a man that seems to despise her. Well actually, Dimitri is a warrior who is over 400 years old. The warriors are a group of protectors developed by the Fae to guard against vampire attacks. She doesn't understand Dimitri’s instant disdain any more than she can deny her growing desire for this sexy, powerful man.

True Blood meets Buffy!

October 8, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If you enjoy a lively mix of vampires vs. Fairies, you will love Dusk: Book 1. The author creates a dangerous world filled with battling creatures led by Alex (the Fae Queen) and her half-brother Radek who will stop at nothing to have his vampires kill her. Alex is a ‘healer’ and those injured in the fight can be saved by her. The ‘warriors’ are the talented and centuries old soldiers who protect her and among them, is the handsome Dimitri to whom Alex has lost her heart. Dusk is a delightful blend of the supernatural and romance. Highly recommended.

It's a good read, one that draws you into the story

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had a chance to read this book before it's release. It's a good read, one that draws you into the story. Every time I go to put the book down I get drawn into one of those "just a little more to see what happens" moments, you just can't put it down. It's the first of a series and leaves you wanting to get your hands on the next one. I highly recommend it.

A Lockwood

Alex is a strong female lead

April 11, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

When Alex Deveraux loses both her mother and father in a short space of time, she thinks her world has come crashing down. What she doesn’t know is that her family has tried to protect her from an even more dangerous world. She meets a whole host of people she didn’t even know that existed. What I liked most about this book (besides the action and romance!) is that the author has set this fantasy novel in a modern setting. I often get distracted when I read fantasy as the alternative universes some writers set their stories in can be very complex and bewildering. (Maybe you can tell that I wasn’t a big fan of the hobbit!) I could understand Alex as a woman. She not only has to deal with the loss of her father, but also the stress of organising the perfect funeral and making sure his company remains a successful one. Alex is a strong female lead, independent, successful as a business woman, but also vulnerable and complex. Alex’s romance with Dimitri takes centre stage and even though it is lovely and pure, I could have maybe done with a bit more action and a quicker pace. (The fighting kind, I’m a big fan of clean fantasy) I also would like to know more of both her parents’ history, but that might be for another book. There are still a few blanks to be filled in and the fight with the vampires is far from over. Great start to a series.

Fiction Author Rhoda D'Ettore

In the Tradition of True Blood (but clean)

September 15, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

If you enjoyed True Blood, this is the book for you. Although not my normal genre to read, I read all of the True Blood series after discovering the HBO show. This book is along those lines as far as story and plot (but a clean version)and will compel supernatural enthusiasts to keep turning the pages. A half-human/half-fairy has lived her entire life as human unbeknownst of her true lineage. After some life altering tragedies, her world is turned upside when she discovers the truth about her parents and the supernatural powers she possesses. Thrown into the middle of a raging war between vampires and fairies, Alex must find the strength to rally her people together for their safety--- and her own.

This book is well written with a good flow. From the first chapter, Alex's emotions about her father are vividly depicted in a way which allows the reader to relate and connect. The story is written in a third person, past tense and has little or no grammatical errors or typos. Format: The text is left aligned (some readers insist on justified), and there are no excessive spaces or blank pages. It was an easy read I finished in two sittings. Thank you Ms. Smith for an interesting story.

Nice

Fun book that brings together different mythical creatures in a PG-13, PNR with a good amount of action. Takes a while for the action to pick up, but is worth it in the end.
