"Dark, dangerous and full of depth"
Lily Carlyle's life has been filled with lying, cheating
and stealing. A total bad girl, all she wanted was to keep
her sister, Rose, safe. With Rose broken in more ways than
one, Lily is out for justice. She doesn't care if she dies
getting the monster who hurt her sister. After all she will
leave her sister free from the nightmare. However what Lily
doesn't know is that her death will not be the end of her
life. Waking up as Alice Purdue wasn't what Lily expected of
death. Suddenly Lily is in the middle of a battle between
good and bad. Demons are real and she is in a position to
kill them. So she becomes an assassin for the light. It is
a job she thinks she can do. She just doesn't realise how
hard a job it will be to stop. Tainted is the first book in a new series from Julie
Kenner. Well known for her Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series
it was quite interesting to see what else the author has to
offer. The Blood Lily Chronicles have a slight resemblance
to Julie Kenner's other books to the point that they both
revolve around demons and someone who kills them. Other
than that these two main characters, worlds and plots are
extremely different. Dark, dangerous and full of depth, Tainted really
impressed me. Twists and turns paved the way through this
very well written first in the series. Now I am eager to
start book number two. Torn is already out and I have a
copy here waiting for me and I am determined to read some
other books first but it definitely has something that is
pulling me towards it. If you already know and love Julie Kenner's books then make
sure you understand that this new series is Urban
Paranormal Fantasy and is not funny! This is serious stuff
and not like her previous works. However it is just as good
as anything else she has written. Julie has taken her work
to a new level and I hope she is proud!
