Descendant
of a Cherokee shaman, Dyam is one of the vampire king’s personal guards and
closest advisers. He has seen the worst of mankind and has vowed to stay away
from personal entanglements and focus on serving his king.
However, his
resolve is shaken when Naiah, the water witch, finds her way into the busy
vampire castle’s life and straight into his heart. But before he can nurture
his feelings for her, she is killed in battle, causing Dyam to return to his
self-imposed seclusion for good.
Little
does he know that Naiah has been brought back to life by his kind’s most nefarious
enemies. She is their ultimate weapon in a final battle that will rupture not
only the balance of the supernatural world, but Dyam’s loyalty to his race.

My Review:
Dyam
was heartbroken by Naiah’s death and can’t seem to keep from thinking about
her. When he goes to the mouth of a volcano to investigate a strange blade
seemingly created from the ash of a volcano, he even imagines that he sees
Naiah there. Convinced, she is a sister witch who looks like Naiah, he
accompanies Zoricah and Yara back to the witch village for information
regarding the prophecy pertaining to Z’s daughter, but there they discover the
Emerald Lake empty and all of the witch inmas flowers destroyed…Naiah’s red
blossom is missing.
When
Dyam learns the truth, that Naiah has been resurrected as the Phoenix, he knows
the sweet Naiah that he loves is still in there. He’s willing to risk his own
life to prove it, and to save her…something he failed to do the first time.
BLOOD
CURSE by Ella J. Phoenix is the fifth book in the Dragon Heat series and the
final chapter…and it does not disappoint. The final book in the series which
started with the love between a dragon and a vampire is exciting, edge of the
seat, and sexy as only to be expected from Ella J. Phoenix. There were times I
didn’t think this could end well but Ella doesn’t disappoint and even leads us
into her next series, which has the working title - Sons of Apa Sâmbetei –
coming out next year. I’m very excited about it.
Creating
a unique world of strange creatures, dangerous enemies, intrigue, and kings,
queens, and gods, Ella gives us all of it, and never more so than in BLOOD
CURSE. We’re treated to myths and legends, love that can’t even be destroyed by
death, and the man who won’t quit until he proves that even the most dangerous
of creatures can be good.
I
highly recommend reading BLOOD CURSE by Ella J. Phoenix. If you haven’t read
this amazing series from the beginning, please do. Even if you’re not into
paranormal romance, you might just be surprised at how quickly and almost
addictively, you become enamored of the amazing characters you meet within the
pages of the Dragon Heat series. This story rocks with an ending that will just make you want more.
Happy
Reading Everyone!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I
was just nine years old when I discovered my passion for the paranormal world.
That passion led me to a bachelor’s degree in Performing Arts where I had my
first taste in writing, conjuring children’s plays and re-writing Shakespearean
masterpieces to suit the modern times (Yes, he’s still cringing in his grave).
After
years traveling around the world, translating other people's novels and
devouring paranormal romances, I realized the real world wasn't fun without a
touch of magic, and decided to purge my own crazy stories into paper, well,
into word doc, to be more precise.
My
busy life with a demanding full-time job and a very loving husband (I'm so not
complaining!) don't allow me much spare time, but somehow every night I find
myself in front of the computer, exorcising the millions of stories stored in
my sanity-challenged mind.
My
novels are tales of love and passion between strong female leads and hot
heroes, bathed in paranormal magic, of course.
I
live in Sydney, Australia, the land of koalas (which are not bears), kangaroos
(which are not boxing champions), and Vegemite (a black spread that should have
never been invented. Seriously, don’t try it).

situation

One Minute with Ella J.
Phoenix:
1. Where do you do most of
your writing?
In my guest bedroom/home office, away
from everything else.
2. Who are your favorite
authors?
Oh,
they are so many! Jane Austen, Nahili Singh, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine
Feehan, and all the great indie authors out there!
3. What's the one genre you
absolutely will NOT write about? Why?
I
never say never, but “Self Help” books are not my thing.
4. Do you use people you
know as characters? And do you tell them if you do?
Maybe
and maybe… but you’ll never know. :)
5. Have you had any creepy
fan experience yet?
No,
not creepy, but I’ve had a few fans contacting me on Facebook as they read my
novels. It was awesome to experience their journey through the story with them.
It’s the best compliment an author can have in my opinion.
6. Does your family know
about ALL the books/stories you've written, or are you keeping a few hidden?
My
immediate family are my biggest fans. But unfortunately, sex is still a taboo
in many communities, including mine. Not everyone understands how liberating a
good erotic romance can be. Maybe one day we’ll be able to share our stories
without the fear of retaliation and hypocritical judgement.
7. Last, but not least, is
there anything you would like to say to your fans?
I
write because I have a million stories and characters in my mind. It’s my
therapy, my escape from reality, my happy place. Without you, my fans, I would
be just a crazy woman locked in a boring day job or in a mental institution.
So, thank you for your support and I hope my novels bring magic into your days as
much as they bring to mine.
