After having finished the collection of supernatural shorts, my spark of interest for the otherworldly became a flame which I have decided to fan into an all out fire! As such, I've chosen a lengthy, yet satisfying title for book 5, written by one of my top favourite authors...
Daughter of Darkness by V.C.Andrews
395 pages of delicious intoxication, I cannot wait to sink my literary fangs into!
I couldn't wait to jump headlong into this tasty morsel of literature and am now well into the first 50 pages.
Allow me to provide you with the first page after the cover:
First Taste
- My sister Ava smiled at me. "Maybe you don't realize it yet, but the change has begun in you, Lorelei. Don't tell me you don't feel it in yourself."
"I do, Ava, but I'm not sure what it is I'm feeling exactly"
"You're feeling the power" she said.
"What is the power?"
"The gift that makes it possible for you to do for Daddy what your sisters, what I, have done for him. Its not just being attractice. You will mesmeriza, capture, and fascinate. You'll get to feel like a goddess, like the puppeteer pulling the strings and making men dance. You had a taste of that last night, didn't you?"
"Yes."
She smiled and nodded. "I remember my first taste of it. It was truly like drinking from the Fountain of Youth. The energy, the strength, the confidence in yourself that you feel right now will never die."
"You make it sound as if we're immortal."
Ava smiled.
I am so excited to be reading this text again and I hope you will be just as thrilled to come along with me through it here.
The verson I am reading was published by Pocket Star Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, 2010. If you're interested in getting to know more about the author or would like suggestions about which of her series to read, drop me a comment or email.
My goal is to have this completed by tomorrow evening so as to stay on track. 394 pages in 36 hours... no problem!
