The Handmaiden of Death (The Dark Angel Trilogy Book 1)

Sixteen-year-old Amber Marsden must fight for survival after a botched drug deal leaves her orphaned on the streets of Detroit. With nowhere to turn, Amber takes shelter among the ruins only to discover she's not alone in the darkSet against the backdrop of a city in decline, The Handmaiden of Death is a fast-paced, darkly spellbinding foray guaranteed to captivate fans of the vampire genre seeking a story with a lot less 'sparkle' and a lot more bite.In praise of THE HANDMAIDEN OF DEATH:"Compellingly-written, character-driven story that follows the life of a wayward teen from the wrong side of the tracks who finds herself the guest of a wealthy man who turns out to be someone she never expected. Dialogue is incredibly naturalistic and flows to create scenes rather than relying heavily on narrative description to set the stage. Unique and fresh perspective on the vampire genre and full of deep, symbolic prose reminiscent of Anne Rice's works. I highly recommend this up-and-coming author and look forward to the next installment in the series." -- Bethann Rodgers, The Bookish Maven, A Literary Blog."My daughter-in-law lent me her Kindle and I absolutely loved it so I purchased a free edition for myself online. I expected something fairly similar to Twilight based on the cover. Pleasantly surprised by the lack of graphic sex and violence, however, there were quite a few places where it got downright creepy so if you like your vampires scary this might be the book for you." -- Goodreads Reviewer
