“TWILIGHT MEETS PRIDE AND PREJUDICE” Bellocaro will transport anyone who enjoyed Twilight or loves a gripping paranormal romance… to a new world down South.
Fleeing the school jock who thinks she should be his, Skye Moon encounters a strange boy in the woods. After meeting the mysterious and captivating Thatcher Blue, she is dragged into a nightmare. Skye is targeted by a vampire who wants to kill her just for being near the alluring Thatcher.
With a target on her back, she doesn’t know if she’ll survive. Skye hopes that the dark-eyed boy from her premonitions will keep her safe, if he ever reveals himself.
She is astonished when Thatcher and his family come to the high school run by her mother. Thatcher has managed to keep the secrets of his monster family hidden for more than a century, but not from Skye. She rightly suspects the new kids are something other than ‘kids.’
Complicating matters is the way Thatcher looks at her, like she means the world to him because he has visions too. The pair find themselves caught between danger and longing.
Will Thatcher save her?
Or like his visions have predicted –kill her?
Profoundly romantic and thrilling, Bellocaro captures the life and death struggle between disobeying your intuition and following your heart. Award winning, best selling author P.S. Meraux brings humor and heat to this vampire love story that will drive fans of books like Twilight or Shade of Vampire wild with enthusiasm.
Author Bio:
I mainline coffee and chocolate, worry about the width of my hips and peruse too many cooking magazines. I suspect I wouldn’t fret about one if I didn’t indulge in the other. I’m obsessive about quality, so much so, I keep going back to tweak my earlier books, hoping to make them better. “Why are your characters flawed?” one reviewer asked. “Because people are,” I replied. Although I’m very protective of them, hoping beyond measure that they’ll find acceptance. Not ridicule. As a true ‘GRITS’ (girl raised in the south) people expect me to have bat-shit crazy relatives. The question here isn’t IF, but rather, which side of the family are they on? Needless to say they offer a pool of inspiration into which I liberally dip.
My characters are a bit OCD. Not in the vein of obsessive-compulsive, that would be too a la carte, mine are ‘occasionally crazy or damaged.’ And I think you’ll enjoy them. As someone who understands wrestling with complex issues, it’s easy to share their stories. I myself grew up with an ill mum, so I began creating imaginary friends at a young age to keep me company. In addition to writing and cooking, I’m an avid mountain climber who keeps up with an assortment of pets. As a life-long globe trotter, I can tell you that I like nothing better than a good story and a road trip. I hope you enjoy this one. Please let me know what works and what doesn’t. I’m always interested in hearing feedback, reviews, comments, and questions are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Happy reading.
Bellocaro Review:
It’s been a while since I read an entertaining young adult vampire story, and “Bellocaro” did not disappoint!
I admit, when I saw the cover of this book, I thought it would be a ripoff of another famous vampire series. Nevertheless, I gave the story a shot, and I honestly could not put it down.
The author sets the excitement right from the first page as Skye finds herself in Sceadu and encounters monster creatures. I loved Skye in the lead and felt the author portrayed her realistically for this genre. The story takes full swing once Thatcher and his group enter the picture. I got completely engrossed in the drama between Rane and Skye and how mysterious Alton and Wes are.
Moreover, the author sets the mystery and intrigue nicely as you notice Thatcher keeping secrets. One of my favorite moments is the incident at the cafeteria. Or when Skye finds Thatcher in the woods and spies on Alton and Wes. Furthermore, I was intrigued by the mysterious vampire in the hoodie who keeps coming in Skye’s dreams and his connection to the storyline.
As this is a young adult novel with hormonal teenagers, the author also adds a touch of romance to the tale. However, she does this nicely so that not to disrupt the plot. As the story progresses, we get to know the bigger picture, leading to a thrilling climax.
Not to mention, the author ends the story in a shocking cliffhanger that I did not see coming. I hope the author releases the sequel because this book is SO good!
Overall, I enjoyed reading “Bellocaro” and look forward to reading its continuation.
