Haldred Chronicles: Alyssa by JG Cully

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

“They may slay my mortal body, but I am not so easily defeated. Time is on my side, and I will spend it well.”

Alyssa is the last vampire, changed by Igor Regorash himself before his permanent death. With this transformation comes power, but also a terrible loneliness that makes Alyssa long to be human again.

Victoria Haldred is a Council of Peace investigator, charged with maintaining order in a post-war world. Her days are spent combatting murder, assassination, bombings, and blackmail, not to mention dirty politics and double-dealing.

When a local drunk comes down with a bad case of dead, Alyssa and Victoria are set on a collision course that will change their lives (undead as Alyssa’s may be) forever. A dark entity becomes dangerously fixated on the two women. With no one to trust, and an inescapable power looming, Alyssa and Victoria must combine their strengths if they hope to survive a world turned sinister.

Targeted Age Group:: 15 to 65

Primal Nature by Monique Singleton

Immortality comes at a high price; her sanity.
  Known simply as subject 336, she was the unwilling subject of sinister and brutal experiments designed to replicate her enormous strength, healing powers, and apparent immortality. It didn’t work out that way. Instead, they unleashed her primal nature. Now they’re dead, and she’s lost.  From the sweltering heat of the Mexican desert, her journey leads her to the tropical jungle of the Columbian Amazon. 
Against the backdrop of the Third World War, she fights her own gruelling battle to come to terms with what she is: a killer, a monster, or maybe worse.  The world is at war, and she is caught up in the middle. Joining the revolution, her newfound talents sway the balance of war in their favour. But is she a blessing, or a curse.   From International Bestselling Author Monique Singleton, Primal Nature captivates you from the first page and plunges you deep into the struggles and terrors of a random woman cursed with immortality.
It is the first book in the now completed Primal Series. Warning: 18+ Adult content.
