Bio of Larissa Ione

I began writing the way so many writers do--the moment I learned to wield a pencil. But even as a child, I didn't write "kid" stories. I preferred something more dramatic. Something that didn't include Dick, Jane, and a dog named Spot. I wanted my characters to be named Dracula and my dogs to have names like White Fang or Cujo. I'll always have my parents to thank for that. They never censored my reading material (though I suspect that if they had truly known what was between the covers of some of the books, they'd have been a little more careful,) so when other girls my age were reading Laura Ingalls Wilder and Judy Blume, I was immersing myself in Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Later, after I'd joined the Air Force and was in dire need of something to read between shifts at the weather station, I continued to read horror, but I'd branched out into fantasy, and then, finally, romance (though I admit I went kicking and screaming to the latter.) Turned out that I loved romance! So I started writing it, but again, my style and voice leaned toward the dark, paranormal side. Fortunately for me, paranormal romance, as a sub-genre, was booming. I let my imagination fly, and soon I'd sold a series of dark, sexy paranormal romances to Grand Central Publishing. I still read a lot of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, and in fact, one of my all time favorite books about writing is On Writing, by my favorite childhood horror author, Stephen King. If you're an author or a reader, I highly recommend this book for an insight into an author's mind--which can sometimes be a very scary place. Go ahead; Seduce your dark side.

  This book was wonderful. Full of passion and fire. I loved the characters and can not wait to read the next book. If you pay attention, it even teaches a lesson.

• Good Story

  Posted April 13, 2009 by Polly, Anaheim

  This story was hard to get started. The characters and their titles/demonic breed were confusing. Once you get so far in the story it starts to make sense and is actually pretty good. Looking forward to the next book in the series now that I understand the premise.

• Great paranormal!

  Wow! This was a great book! My first experiene with this author. Looking forward to this story line continuing. I couldn't put the book down. I read it in one sitting and was begging for more. The characters were well defined and believable. Congrats to the author. If you like paranormal romance, you must try this one!

• Holy Sheep it's HOT in here!

  Posted May 21, 2009 by Sandra E., Park City

  Like the other reviews I could not put this book down until finished. This is a very sensual read and the different "races" of demons, werewolves, and vampires is awesome. It may be a little hard to follow what race does what at the first part of the book but hang on, it only goes racing uphill from there.
  
  Larissa Ione has created a totally different story line of demon life and their struggle on this earthly plateau.
  
  This a smoking hot read and the series only gets you burning for more of these hunky brothers.
