Vampires live.

And they hunger…

Otto Jones, a cop assigned to the seemingly random murder of a vampire, would rather hide out in the nearest bar than waste his time on a dead vamp. He hates the bloodthirsty demons. But when the king of the vampires commands him to work with one of the lesser princes and find the killer, he has no choice.

Prince Jessamine Senera is ready to sacrifice his happiness in a loveless marriage for his family’s benefit… but not yet. He dreams of adventure, excitement, and true love. He lives on romance novels and detective stories and wishes he could drink synthetic blood like every other vampire. But he can’t. He needs human blood to survive and is hated by vampires and humans alike.

As Otto and Jessa draw closer to an entity that doesn’t want to be discovered, Otto finds the heart he thought long dead opening to the romance-loving Jessa. No good can possibly come from falling in love with a vampire, but when a shadowy assailant attacks Jessa, Otto will descend into the darkest pit of the earth to rescue him.

If you like vampires, mythical and urban settings, intense suspense, and happy ever after, then you’ll love this first book in the dark and mysterious Ellowyn Found trilogy!

A Vampire’s Heart is a stand-alone paranormal dystopian noir romance with a satisfying conclusion to the love story and a central mystery that weaves the trilogy together.


So… About me. I’ve never run a marathon or scaled Mt. Everest. I’ve never scuba dived or sky dived. I’ve surfed though. That was fun. I have six tattoos, and I really love ink. I also love all plants. Zinnias are one of my favorite flowers. If you’ve never see a zinnia, look it up. Very pretty. It’s an old-timey plant but super easy to grow. Anyway, the big thing I do is write m/m erotic romance. But as much as I love romance and sex, I really love going deep into the dark with my characters. What are their wounds? How can I peel them raw and drag them into the light? This leads to some fairly dark stories sometimes, but even the dark ones come with humor. I think the contradictions in people are ripe for hilarious scene setups. I need humor and light in my life—otherwise, I go into some pretty dark places myself. I live with only one cat now—I once had thirteen. That was crazy. I take up most of the things I research for my characters—photography, tarot, and jewelry making for example. I even bought a recorder once because Ori from Jesus Kid played one. I love that part of my job. I also love to walk and lift weights. I’m not a big fan of yoga—just throwing that out there. So far, all of my characters embody something of me, and all of my characters have given me something of them. But no matter what the struggle is from book to book, love always wins out. I'm strong on plot, strong on character, stronger on love. You can count on happily ever after from me every time. I write my stories to open hearts and uplift spirits. Love matters. It counts. And it's for everyone.

Peace.

A Vampire’s Heart, Ellowyn Found 1 by Kayleigh Sky was an interesting read. A little slow on the upstart, the book soon picked up and I couldn’t put it down. A world where humans and vampires exist in a symbiotic, yet not copacetic relationship, human detective Otto found himself in the center of a murder case, an obnoxious vampire partner, and a baby prince whom intrigued him. 

Jessamine, prince of one of the royal vampire families, loved romance and believed in fated love. He’s well taken care of by his sister and brother, yet longed for love and adventure. Finding himself paired with Otto to solve the mystery behind the murders, Jessa felt drawn to the gruff detective, such as he was drawn to his romance books.

The book started slow, and I wondered if it was more that I needed to learn the key players and the terminology. Very quickly, I was engrossed in the murder mystery and became enthralled the more I read. I adored Jessa and his carefree attitude and his yearning for life. Otto was no nonsense, a Mike Hammer-style character. All of Ms. Sky’s characters were depth-filled and intriguing. Her delivery was carefully crafted, a mystery within a conundrum and although there was an HEA, there was definitely more to come in the second book. Marketed as a trilogy, I look forward to reading the next book, as the ending of A Vampire’s Heart left unanswered questions and a thriller to be solved.

Definite S.E.X.
