Born of Darkness

Another Great Read

Ms. Vetere has done it again. The author of Ancient Inheritance has given us another great story. Born of Darkness is a page turner, filled with characters both mortal and immortal that come to life effortlessly. Evil is ever present and Ms. Vetere weaves a tale full of haunting imagery, such as "I became weak, able only to watch as the sand below me drank my blood." The evil was alluring and sensual, casting a spell over me.

Jasmine Fairchild is beautiful and tough, yet vulnerable and kind. She has felt like an outsider her whole life and has suffered much loss and betrayal, but from the moment I met her I wanted her to be happy; to discover her true identity and find happiness with her new lover. As evil crowds every corner of her life, Jasmine must fight back and Ms. Vetere gives us another heroine whose fate hinges that of mankind's.

Ms. Vetere forces the reader to question the nature of good and evil. I found I did not necessarily like all the good guys, nor despise all the bad ones, which means she did her job; weaving a tale of seduction and submission into another modern masterpiece. My only complaint, the story ended way too soon. I would love a sequel to Born of Darkness; say twenty years down the road in the life of Jasmine Fairchild.
