A Kiss of Ashen Twilight

Haunted by dreams of a mysterious yet seductive figure, Ariya awakens to a more dangerous nightmare: a vicious elemental creature nearly wiping out her entire family outside her bedroom doors. Her parents urge her to cross over into the mortal realm and there she is saved from another attack against strange shifter wolves. Her rescuer is Jace Archane, an immortal Nightwalker from the House of Blood within the Ashen Twilight House. The very same man from her dreams.

Now the race is on to find out the origins of the elemental creature and stop the elemental's horrific killing spree. As they dig deeper into the mystery, they will uncover a truth that ties the elemental's origins to a forgotten ally with plans to overthrow the Archane legacy and obtain Ariya's fairy blood fueling an immortal thirst for power.

I loved the fact that I didn’t ever quite know what to expect. This is refreshing for an avid reader like myself. Ms. Lori is a writer that doesn’t mind breaking the rules when it comes to expectations in a romantic story, and the results are incredibly satisfactory. -- Bitten by Books ★★★★★

"I absolutely love the paranormal genre and Ms. Lori is a master at it....This book has plenty of action for those of us who are blood thirsty and plenty of paranormal beings from the sexy vamps, elementals, lycans, and elves." Rated 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read by Dark Diva Reviews! ★★★★★

"Fascinating characters from Vampires to Shifter Elves are cleverly set up with a plot that is full of twists and turns. Jace and Ariya are perfect for each other, as their sexual chemistry fairly sizzled the pages. But it is the strong emotional bond that makes you cheer these two on. This is the first in the series and this reader is interested in where the author is going after this. An exceptional read." - Coffee Time Romance ★★★★

"This wasn't your typical PNR story about just a vampire or a were shifter..it had a little bit of everything!...vampires, werewolves, elves, and fairies... it's not often that you get to read a story that features them all...so that part, for me, was very enjoyable!" - Paranormal Romance Review ★★★★

"With two strong lead characters, a nice plot and a good writing style this could turn into a fascinating series." --ParaNormal Romance Reviews

"...this first book in the series is a fun and imaginative voyage and a promising start to a new series." --SciFiGuy.ca Reviews

"...this is one you'll read again and again. The scenes are so rich that the reader finds themselves in the scenes, not merely watching from the sidelines." --The Long and Short of It Reviews

"Rae Lori is an amazing author and has a gift for the paranormal. She will have you right in the thick of the action and make you feel like you are right in the scene and not a book." --Night Owl Reviews ★★★★★ A Top Pick Review
