TOUR: Dark Stranger by Susan Sizemore w/ Give Away!


I'll be honest, this is the first book I've read by Ms. Sizemore so I have no idea about her Prime series.  With that said, DARK STRANGER is the first in an exciting new series, the Vampire Book Club.  Whose in the club? From what I can understand, the characters of her previous books in the Prime series.

This story takes place many many years into the future of the Primes.  There are aliens, space crafts, and many worlds.  When human diplomat Zoe Pappas is negotiating with the alien Asi for an alliance for her Empire, the Hajim attack.  The Hajim are the enemie of everybody, or so it seems.

Zoe is disguised as a Navy Lieutenant and is taken with all the other prisoners to a POW Camp deep underground.  Not only are their POW humans, but other races as well, and they don't all get along.  In fact, one of the races eats humans for breakfast! Who can sleep at night knowing that's down the hall?

The General of the POW Camp is Matthias "Doc" Raven, who has his own set of rules for the camp.  Number one is no escaping.  Zoe must find a way to survive in the dark camp, keep her secret, and fight her attraction to the Prime Doc.  But soon, the two can't seem to stay away from one another, and when Zoe's secret is revealed, Doc feels he isn't good enough for her and pushes her away.  It may mean his death, but he refuses to put her or the Empire in jeapardy because his heart is breaking. 

Sizemore's world building is phenomenal! The characters of Zoe and Doc are passionate, but yet realistic.  Very sexy scenes! The intensity in the camp will have you wanting to bite your nails until the climatic end.  This may be my first Sizemore novel, but it won't be my last.  A very unique setting that has set the scene for more.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
