Cover Blurb:

I moved to Whitby expecting my days to be filled with grief and heartache while I watched my father die. But turns out the town has much more to offer a teenage girl like me. His name is Marcus Davenport. Rich. Powerful. Admired by the locals. Not. Human. If I were smart, I would have run the other way when I realized what he was. But there’s this undeniable pull between us, a heartbeat that brings us both to life whenever we’re together. I convinced myself it was fate drawing lines in the sand, the beginning of a love story that would end with forever. But I was wrong. Turns out the blood running through my veins is tied to Marcus in a way that corrupts everything we feel for each other. It’s no longer something I can trust. Nothing is as it seems. The paranormal residents of Whitby altered my reality forever, and now I’m caught in a web of dark secrets and deadly deceits. The future is more uncertain than it has ever been, and I have no idea what’s going to happen between Marcus and me. Oh, and then there’s Luke, another one of this town’s little secrets…and one huge complication. If you love paranormal creatures, twists and turns, and sizzling passion, this is the book for you.

Love, Lies and Immortal Ties By Author C. J. Laurence – Book Review

I’m not someone who normally would read paranormal romance books but this one caught my attention due to it being set in Whitby, a town a short bus ride away from where I live. By the end of the first chapter, I was already caught up in Caitlyn’s story. She’s a young woman of eighteen years old, who moves to North Yorkshire following her father’s diagnosis of terminal cancer, with the intention of assisting him with the running of his seaside hotel. This is a lot to deal with in itself, but she soon finds herself caught up in a complicated and passionate romance with local eligible bachelor, Marcus Davenport. There’s more to Marcus than there initially seems and to complicate matters further, there’s Caitlyn’s blossoming friendship with hotel handyman, Luke, who has an intense rivalry with Marcus.

The book is an easy to read page turner and I imagine it would be perfect for anyone who enjoyed the Twilight series. It recalled my own memories of teenage romance and the excitement felt when falling for someone for the first time. It was thrilling to follow Caitlyn on this journey. I delightfully devoured it in a short space of time and was left wanting more, so I’m very happy that there’s another two books in this series. I award this riveting read 5 stars.
