Blurb for CITY OF THE FALLEN:
Five years ago, vampires came out of hiding and took over
the world. It was meant to be a quick enslavement but it turned into a bloody
battle that brought humanity to the brink of extinction.
Isabelle Bryant is one of the “lucky” survivors, now living
in hiding, scavenging for food through deserted towns.
And she’s tired of it.
So she’s devised a plan: find the king of the vampires and
drive a stake through his heart.
Except that wickedly sensual king Marcus is nothing like the
monster she expected. And while landing on his bed was part of the plan all
along, discovering that he might hold the key to humanity’s survival certainly
wasn’t. The catch? Saving humanity also means ensuring vampire survival. It
means giving up hope for a return to a human-ruled world.
As sparks fly and hate becomes heat, Isabelle must pick a
side -- before the darkness devours them all.
* * * * *
Isabelle Bryant has
survived more horror in the past five years than she expected to in an entire
lifetime. She’s determined to do whatever it costs to put an end to the
miserable life left for the human race to lead. Even if that cost is the highest price paid - her own life. Determined to get to the King of the Vampires, the leader of
monsters that have turned the human world into a place of desperation and fear,
she plans to kill the monster of monsters. Without saying good-bye to her
brother, she heads off into the daylight in hopes of reaching the compound
where the Vampire King rules before nightfall and almost doesn’t make it through the first
night. Upon reaching the compound, she hopes to catch the eye of the King, and surprises
even herself, when she does.
Marcus has much on his
mind with the danger of rabids
attempting to breach the walls of the compound. He is sure that his brother
Patrick is gathering an army of rogue vampires to attempt to overthrow him and
take over. If that happens, the human race will be lost forever. Then the void will spread throughout what's left of the vampire
race and they will be lost as well. If his scientists can find the secret to
human blood and replicate it in a blood substitute, all may not be lost anyway. Now
that he has the assistance of a human doctor, a woman he cannot read or
control, a woman who has taken up residence in his mind and his heart, and who
seems to think she might have ideas that will help, all may not be lost – or so he hopes.
CITY OF THE FALLEN
by Diana Bocco is addictive, dynamic edge of the seat action, and leaves the
reader craving more, just when you don’t want it to end. The world created by
Diana is dark, dangerous, and yet you develop a sense of unity that can and
should exist between the humans and the vampires. Isabelle comes to the
compound to wreak havoc on the vampires and yet soon determines that they need
humans and their knowledge as much as humans may in fact need vampires to
remake their world.
I highly recommend CITY OF THE FALLEN by Diana Bocco if you’re a fan of vampire romances,
apocalyptic settings, and a story that will pull you, keep you entertained, and
craving more. I’m so ready to read the next one, I want it now.
About the Author, Diana Bocco:
I've been a fan of all
kinds of dark creatures since I was a kid (even before I discovered Stephen
King at the age of 10). If it crawls in the night and tugs at your covers while
you're sleeping, chances are I've written about it. It's
probably no surprise
that I'm a big fan of old buildings, urban exploring and things that go bump in
the night. Oh, and Halloween, of course -- but that should go without saying.
Growing up, I wanted to
be Indiana Jones. I ended up not pursuing a degree in Archaeology (although I
toyed with the idea for a while) but I did become a huge lover of travel and
history. Aside from traveling to all corners of the world, I've also lived in
five countries in three continents -- including three years in Siberia and two
in Vietnam. I'm currently living in Thailand.
I have a soft spot for
animals (which is why you can be sure that in my stories, the dog will always
make it) and right now have three wonderful -- but slightly crazy -- dogs in my
life. And yes, they move with me from country to country. Too bad dogs can't
accumulate frequent flyer miles!
In my other life, I also
write nonfiction: articles, books, and even quizzes for the Discovery Channel
website. I really can't help it -- I'm a nerd at heart and love research and
discovering new things. Could be the Indiana Jones in me pushing me along.
When it comes to life,
I'm pretty fearless. I figure life is too short to live it too safely -- so I
take risks and I try to have fun, whether that means snowshoeing in the middle
of Siberia or going ghost-hunting in an abandoned asylum. And yes, I've done
both.
