Yes, she’d fucked up. She
always
fucked up. But she still wanted to go home. She
needed
to go home.
How was it that the most powerful, most beautiful woman on this planet was alone in Tasmania? It baffled her.
Well, not
exactly
alone. Her legs were spread for a handsome local young man who was very, very good with his tongue. And she still hadn’t had dinner, so he would stick around for that. But he didn’t count.
She needed her people. First bloods needed first bloods.
Things were going to change. Soon.
FINI
Thank you for traveling the path for a little while with Cherise into the vampire world created by C.L. Quinn. This is the second in a series called the Firsts, so if you haven’t tried
Forbidden Days
, take a look. It defines this vampire universe a little better and gives some backstory for Cherise’s arrival in Colorado where we find her at the beginning of this tale.
Charlie Quinn, the author of this book, inhabits her own story in the novel by T.C.Butts,
Last Best Hope
, where she lives a normal life that becomes extraordinary. She’d left a life that wasn’t working for her in the busy city of Chicago, relocated to the stunning Colorado Rocky Mountains, and finally felt like she was home. Filling in her time in her own little paradise on earth, she wrote a series of highly successful vampire romance novels, about which she says, “
So I didn’t create timeless canons of literature…I created moments of escapist enjoyment, and in the lives many people had trapped themselves, it was as important as any Shakespeare sonnet or Tennyson poem.”
If you would like to know Charlie’s story, she chronicles it in
Last Best Hope
, diary style, so the reader can come along for the ride. T.C.Butts just helped Charlie bring her stories to the real world. It is a labor of love.
Next in the series is Eillia’s story, set up at the end of Forbidden Days. So, if you enjoyed this one, keep watch for the third in the series,
Longest Days.
