I wrote this 5 star review for Chic Lit Café
A spellbindingly scrumptious paranormal love story, Oil and Water is slick, sophisticated and gritty. A real Vampire masterpiece!
Normally, I like to start with the characters but… the plot – wow, I loved it! The twist wasn’t obvious and when I saw it coming, I sighed with satisfaction. Ancient vampires move in the shadows, mixing with humans but keeping their identity hidden, well most of the time! The Vampire Council has set up rules which are broken upon peril of death. Weaving their way through the council and breaking rules in secret are the deadliest of the ancient ones. A story as ‘old as time’ that starts in the 1700s, flows through time and erupts in the modern day blurbs of Tampa, Florida.
Elsie, a lovely twenty-eight year old nursery assistant is enjoying her life when she accidentally bumps into a hunk wearing sunglasses at The Watering Hole. Until this moment, she had been dreaming that her life would be anything but commonplace. Cyrus – the hunk, is sweetly mysterious and oh so handsome and before you can say Peter Rabbit Elsie is falling in love. Elsie is a strong woman, who has her flaws but also knows right from wrong. Straight away the reader is rooting for her as she comes face to face with unprecedented events.
Oil and Water is a true Vampire-fan’s delight. All the elements to a great paranormal are here, including Vampire hierarchy and new conversions. But, there is much more to this story than sucking blood. Stella characters bring the pages to life and make this a book you simply won’t be able to put down! Lara Ann Dominick’s writing is smooth and easy-to-read. Oil and Water is hands down the best vampire story I’ve come across since ‘Interview with a Vampire’.
Review warning: Before you rush off and buy any book that someone reviews you should read the free sample chapters provided on Amazon, this way you can decide for yourself if this book is your cup of tea or not. Happy reading everyone!
