The Garnet Dagger

by Andrea Cooper

Blurb:

Forbidden to cross the Elvin barrier into human lands, Brock cannot sate his curiosity. Cursed by a vampyre bite that forces him to feed on the life-essence of others, he is unable to touch another without taking their life. Chained by prophesy, he must find a witch, pierce her heart, and draw her blood for his cure.

Celeste must escape the monks who have held her prisoner for years. Her magic has been kept dormant by her captors. An ancient powerful Warloc craves her powers. If he succeeds in devouring her magic, she and the world will die.

When Brock falls in love with Celeste before realizing her demise is his cure, will love triumph over his desire to be healed? Will he risk everything to save her from a Warloc, an oath breaker, who also wants her dead?

Beverly’s Review:

What happens when you think you are above the law? A Dooming prophecy unfolds.
Disregarding Fae laws, Brock often heads out into the human lands. Coming home he encounters a man who he doesn’t realize is a vampire. He cracks open the way for the destruction of his race. He pays unknowingly with the life of his betrothed.

I have to say, most of the book I wanted to slap Brock. He is an annoyingly selfish elf. Drama prone, but it seems to fall in line with the race. I felt Celeste deserved better than Brock.

I got that out! Now to tell you what I liked!

Well written characters fill the book. The plot was well thought out and wound smoothly through the tale. Dark and intriguing, I did enjoy the tale. Sometimes you just have to dislike the hero! LOL. But he learned and his personality fit the story. If he hadn’t been as he was, A Garnett Dagger wouldn’t have been as good. Drawing out emotions when you read, no matter what kind, is the sign of a great book.
