Selina is alone, hunted and looking for safety but what she finds is much darker and will change her life forever. Selina stumbles upon a dark creature which transforms her into something new.. something stronger.. something thirsty for blood.
When Selina returns to the world she needs to find a way to survive and quickly decides it’s time to gather a family. Selina sets out to create her family of misfits, each chosen for s specific reason.
The family explore the world together, feed and thrive.. until it starts to unravel…
Now the hunter becomes the hunted as the family flee to safety… but is anywhere safe?
Those hot on their heels won’t be deterred even though the endeavour will be costly for both sides.
Vengeance soon becomes Selina’s only goal, but can she finish this once and for all before it’s too late for her.
Oh wow, what a super and thrilling read A Light of Little Radiance was! The story is brought to life seamlessly by two authors. I had wondered how well would it work, would it flow ok… well let me tell you the flow was immensely prefect. Its very much a plot driven tale but the authors did a wonderful job of making the characters come to life amongst the chaos of Selina’s life.
Its dark, and felt guttural in tone which suited the plot perfectly, the darkness of the setting mirroring the darkness within the characters as they struggle to survive. It’s strange but even though Selina and her family are the ones killing you actually want them to survive.. Selina’s beat the odds before but can she do it again?
Oh the last few chapters.. wow.. I had no idea how I wanted the book to end but I really don’t think there could have been a darker, more thrilling ending..its enough to make you tingle with excitement.
Outstanding story perfectly executed. The story felt fresh and thrilling.. and I loved every second!
