Review: Charleston Past Midnight by Christine Edwards

How much fight does one woman have inside?

Calla Hart has never relied on anyone. The fierce West Virginian learned the hard way to be self-sufficient, that is until she is viciously attacked late one night by two thugs. Her luck turns when, still fighting for her life, she is rescued from her attackers by a preternaturally strong stranger. She is stunned to discover that Severin Beauvais is not your typical alpha male hero. Although her pre-med student mind vehemently resists the notion, Calla must soon accept that he is a vampire, one who has stalked the historic grounds of Charleston, South Carolina, since the mid-eighteenth century. Their desire for each other is intense, yet as much as she’d like to envision happily ever after with Severin, too much stands in their way. Aside from her fragile mortality, there is Severin’s extremely dominant personality coupled with his unending feud with the ancient Russian vampire Valdon, who has so far proved invincible.

And Valdon has set his sights on Calla ….

When it comes down to the wire, what would you sacrifice for the love of your life?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

So honestly I thought this book was going to be nothing more than another short book about the typical vampire meets a girl who is his soul mate, but this was actually more than that. The plot was interesting and the story was well written and had me turning the pages to see what would happen next.

Calla was intriguing and she was sassy and a bit wild, she was defiant and was no shrinking violet and I love a strong female main character. Severin is the ultimate sexy alpha male vampire, they are always like that, tall dark and sexy (maybe that’s what I love so much about vamps). The chemistry that the two share is undeniable and the sexual tension is palpable. Once they see that they are made for each other, the sex is Hot!

There is just the right amount of romance, action, mystery, suspense and of course lots of smoking hot sex scenes to make this book a great read. It was quick and entertaining and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good erotic paranormal romance with a twist.
