Blurb:
Harlow Garrington is a twenty-six year old woman left
alone in the world when her family perished in a tragic accident. She
led a quiet life and lived in her books until a chance meeting brought
Aiden into her life. He was smart, sexy, and chivalrous-- everything she
wanted in a man. There was just one problem, he was also an eight
hundred year old vampire. Nearly a thousand years ago, vampires split
into two factions. Those who chose to sacrifice their souls for
immortality were pure evil, without a shred of humanity left. They
existed to kill and terrify. Those turned by force, like Aiden, were
able to retain some of their humanity and did not need to kill to
survive. Harlow found everything she ever wanted from life with Aiden,
but his love was not without a price. Aiden has long been coveted by
Hades because he stood out from other vampires. When their love is
discovered, Harlow's life is in jeopardy. Aiden convinces Harlow to flee
with him, hoping to keep her safe until he can come up with a plan.
Will Harlow get to spend a lifetime with Aiden, or will she be forced to
make The Immortal Choice? Their journey takes them across the world,
encountering all kinds of magic and monsters and even a few Greek gods,
coming to a stunning conclusion that may change the fate of humanity.
Full of action, history, drama, and intrigue, Birth of the Nyxian is a
steamy paranormal romance with so much more than romance!
My Review:
5 Star
5 Star Fabulous!!!!!, August 13, 2012
FABULOUS book!!! 5 Star Fabulous!!!!! This book is awesome to say the
least! It is full of action, adventure, romance, true love, seduction,
emotional turmoil, & paranormal greatness! It's got vampires,
goddesses/gods, demons, nymphs, necromancers, & all sorts of other
worldly fun! I LOVED it!!
Harlow appears to be this shy normal loner of a woman just living
her life, but soon shines as this brilliant heroine that could take on
the world. Her quirkiness & love of history make her truly unique,
& made me want to get to know her more & more. And then there's
Aiden....the vampire of her dreams who brings it like no other! He takes
seduction & lust to a whole new level, & his chivalrous ways
would have any woman swooning before him. His background story intrigued
me & had me yearning to learn more.
Amanda Browning's attention
to details & the extensive thought she put into her story truly
amazes me!! I love how she brought history & mythology into the mix
without any of it seeming out of place! This book will send you on a
roller coaster of emotions from beginning to end & you'll be begging
for more! ;*} I am looking forward to the next book for sure!

Hello all! I appreciate you
stopping by and showing an interest! I am Amanda Browning, paranormal
fiction author. I've been married to a wonderful man for the last eight
years and we have four children together. Our oldest is in
kindergarten and the youngest is four.
We live out in the
country in southern Indiana and one of my favorite things to do is
stargaze on a clear new moon night. I have always loved writing, but I
haven't done much for the last few years, preferring to read instead.
My husband bought me a Kindle for my 27th birthday and I went on a
reading binge that frankly was a little crazy. When I finally leveled
off, I found that I felt more creative. I was complaining about having
nothing to read and my brother told me, "Write something." And thus my
epic journey into authordom began....
I contacted Candy Crum on
Facebook after I read her book because I loved it and wanted to tell her
so. We became fast friends and she encouraged me to write a submission
for an anthology contest she was having. Less than two months later, I
am a published author! :D
My first short story, The Legacy of
Lilith, a vampire origin story, was published in The Withering Darkness:
A Paranormal Horror Compendium in December 2011. 2012 Will be an
amazing year for me! I have three more stories coming out in two
separate anthologies and my full length novel coming out around March. I
have met some truly amazing people that have helped and encouraged me
to continue writing and sharing my stories with the world.
