Synopsis
Embrace the twilight
A
creature of the night, Sarafina lives only for pleasure, and love is a
forbidden emotion. Experience has taught her that love leads only to betrayal
and pain.
Willem
Stone is a challenge Sarafina cannot resist – a man as boldly alive as she is,
a man with a will of iron, yet a mere mortal. And the only thing stronger than
their clash of wills is the power of their desire.
But
when vampire hunters take Amber Lily, the only child ever born to a vampire,
Sarafina and Willem must put their struggle aside and combine their strengths
in a rescue attempt that could cost them their very lives.
Edge of twilight
His
name is Edge, and he is the last of a band of Immortals who have been hunted
down and murdered by Frank Stiles – an enemy determined to unlock their deepest
secrets.
A
legend among the undead, Amber Lily is the only half human, half vampire ever
born, and is possessed of untamed powers. Amber alone understands the dangerous
threat of Frank Stiles. Only she may hold the key to his vulnerability...and
his doom.
Amber
is drawn into the hunt. In doing so, she will cast her after to a passion that
may be her destiny and to an evil she may not be able to defeat.
Thoughts
These are the two
books that hit the series for me. That made me fall in love so deeply that I
searched (whenever in a store) for the rest of the series (you can tell it wasn’t
hard, or more so that I was picky, because I want the rest as bind-ups not
individually)
Both books linked
nicely and all four characters were perfectly set for each other, and perfectly
interesting that it was a joy to fall in love with them all, though like most
out there, Edge truly was the man of the two.

Embrace
the Twilight follows Willem as he struggles with the pain
of both his time as a captive, but more so in his loss of the woman who he went
to whenever the pain got to be too much.
It’s a sweet story
his takes us on a small journey in how Sarafina became a vampire and more so
the set reason into why she’s what she has become, though there are other
points that are needed and if you read the series from start to end then you
will already understand a few of these points, as I do know. I didn’t however
when I first read it and so only the face value of her life came at me, and it
was enough to have sympathy for the woman who’s lost everything and the shell
she created. A shell that Willem seems
determined to break even when he’s not sure he’s doing it.
I really liked this
book; it was intriguing and quiet and let us meet Amber Lilly which is kinda helpful
for the next book. But about that in a minute.
Most of this book
is set, either hunting or spying on Amber Lilly, or in Sarafina’s house, it’s
got female power which I loved, and even more so the brake down for her and the
guilt she’s gathered other the years.
It’s about love
that was there but strained threw years that didn’t really pass, at least for
one of them. And a reconnection to a person she can’t really afford to love.
It’s really is
great but it’s nothing compared to...
Edge
of Twilight is, to this day, number one on this series. It’s
a great book about a cocky guy who needs no woman until that said woman pops
into his life.
Yeah, it’s fun,
light and deeply emotional, wrapped with kids and family and love and care, and
fear of a man that needs to die for reason that don’t seem so important to Edge
when Amber becomes mixed in it all.

I honestly can’t
really think of anything else to say about it that wouldn’t give the whole
thing away, and yet I know there’s a lot.
I absolutely love
both lead characters in this book for the reason for them being who they are,
and they are perfect for each other in a way that makes great banter between
the two and tearful words that make you wish you had an Edge all to yourself.
I’m not sure if the
reason that I truly love this book is because I was pregnant or just had a baby
at the time of reading it (I think just had) and so the sentiment and the
emotion of that wrapped themselves around my mind and heart and linked this
book into that moment of my life, or if it’s truly is that great. But I still,
to this day, can’t get enough of it.
