"Blood of the Wicked scared me, thrilled me, and made me fall in love with the characters. I want more and I can't wait to see what she writes next!" -Cherry Adair Bestselling author Christina Dodd calls Karina Cooper, "A brilliant new voice in paranormal romance." Karina's extraordinary debut novel, Blood of the Wicked, is exhilarating, terrifying, mesmerizing, and hotter than hell. Unfolding in an alternate Earth forever changed by mass catastrophes and ruled by repression, bigotry, and fear, the spellbinding story has sworn enemies joining forces-united by need and irresistible passion-to achieve a frightening goal that almost certainly means death for one of them. A brilliantly imaginative and breathtakingly sensuous tale of witches and witch hunters, Blood of the Wicked immediately rockets Karina Cooper into the elite company of J. R. Ward, Kresley Cole, and Charlaine Harris.
4 and 1/2 stars! "An electrifying, very promising start to the new Dark Mission series. Cooper's world has endless possibilities in her alternate universe where witches...are hunted down for their murderous ways. The characters and plot are expertly woven in with action and steamy romance." -- RT Book Reviews "Dark, bloody, and violently descriptive, this steamy romance takes readers on an emotionally wrenching, sometimes gruesome journey into a grimly fascinating futuristic world that will draw readers in and leave them wanting more. Compelling and mesmerizing, this is a stellar start to this new series." -- Library Journal
After writing happily ever afters for her friends in school, Karina Cooper eventually grew up (sort of), got a real job (kind of), then decided that making stuff up was way more fun (true!). She is known for an intense, gritty voice, and her award winningSt. Croix Chronicleshas been nominated for multiple RT Reviewers Choice Awards. Karina is a gamer, a borderline hermit, and an activist. She co-exists with a husband, a menagerie and a severe coffee habit.
