~ Review ~
I’ll admit when I started reading Creche, I couldn’t remember all of Cruxim but I was slowly reminded of it throughout the entire book. I always appreciate an author more when they don’t just use the first chapter as a recap, and thankfully it was so subtle that it was hardly noticeable.
The author has such a way of writing that the words just
flow on the page, and I soon found myself completely caught up in the story and
the history of it all. It has a very
descriptive nature, without being over the top, which allowed my imagination to
just take over and easily picture the story.
Everything indicates that a major battle is on the horizon, so I’m sure
the rest of the saga is going to be full of action and I can’t wait to read
it.
Praise for Cruxim…
I’ll admit when I started reading Creche, I couldn’t remember all of Cruxim but I was slowly reminded of it throughout the entire book. I always appreciate an author more when they don’t just use the first chapter as a recap, and thankfully it was so subtle that it was hardly noticeable.
This book is much more about who Amedeo is, the Cruxim,
their ways and how they came to be, with a little vampire action towards the
end. Cruxim was quite dark, full of
sorrow and sadness, but with the introduction of Skylar, Creche has a much
lighter tone and has uplifted the series dramatically, whilst throwing in a
little more romance.
Praise for Cruxim…
“I highly recommend Cruxim to lovers
of true gothic horror and paranormal genres. This story provides a fresh spin
on old-world vampire lore. I will be stalking this author for the rest of this
series and beyond!” Toni
Lesatz, My Book Addiction
“I absolutely can't wait to read the
next installment in this series, Creche. This, to me, is like the next Anne
Rice series. There's a love story alongside some pretty gruesome and evil
stuff. I like the contrast and the fact that both can live in harmony in a very
well-written, character-driven novel. Bravo to the author, Ms. Karin Cox!” Kathy
from Literary R&R
“I loved how the author was able to
bring what was usually mortal enemies and have them work together to resolve
the conflicts the characters encounter.” Rachel at The Jeep
Diva
“Cruxim is filled with passion,
revenge, action, and love all mixed together to form this story that is unlike
any I've ever read. The ending had me in near in tears, but now I have to find
out what fate lies ahead for Amedeo in the next book!” Sarah
Jones, Give it to Cupcake Blog.
“I fell in love with the Cruxim.
Amedeo is like no other paranormal hero. He's not infallible. He bleeds, he
grieves, he suffers in affairs of the heart and personal conscience. He must
make choices that no man, or angel, should ever have to make. I recommend this
debut novel by Karin Cox.” Bestselling Author Carol Davis
Luce
“I thought the blend of paranormal
and mythology brilliant. The grammar flawless. The prose, poetic. If I could
give this book a higher rating, I would. It is simply the most intriguing,
creative and original paranormal I've ever read.” Tara
West from the Book Eclective
A wonderfully new, and fresh novel of
vampire lore. A dark world of a wide range of oddities. It’s a story that you
must read to understand the complex array of characters, and the remarkable way
that Ms Cox has woven this phenomenal world in which they exist in. Karin Cox
is most definitely an author that I will and look forward to reading more of in
the future.” Anne from Angel Anne’s Reviews
