Awaken the Darkness
(Immortal Guardians #8)
by Dianne Duvall
Kindle Edition, 414 pages
Publication: July 10th 2018 by Dianne Duvall
Return to the "utterly addictive" (RT Book Reviews), "fast-paced and humorous" (Publishers Weekly) world of New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians.
He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he came to be there. Riddled with injuries, he can remember neither his past nor who he is. Nor can he remember what he is. But surely no mortal man could survive being buried deep beneath the earth. All he knows with certainty is that the soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above enables him to endure the agony of his wounds. And he will do whatever it takes to be with her.
When Susan first sees the old two-story house for sale, such warmth and longing fill her that—against all reason—she makes an offer. It will take years of hard work and money she frankly doesn’t have to fix up the place. So she can’t explain why she bought it. She also can’t explain what compels her to spend hours one night, digging in the basement until she unearths a man. A man who still lives and breathes despite having been buried alive. A man whose intense brown eyes glow amber with pain, declaring him far more than ordinary. Susan knows she should keep her distance. He has no memory and possesses gifts that would make most fear him. But as the two work together to unravel the mystery of his past, she finds herself drawn in by his teasing nature and tender touch. So much so that she loses her heart to him even as they find themselves hunted by unknown enemies who are ruthless in their quest to capture them.

Immortal Guardians Dream Cast
Hello! Thank you for joining me. I’m excited
to be here today, celebrating the release of AWAKEN THE DARKNESS, the eighth
book in my Immortal Guardians series. If you’re new to my series, don’t
worry. Each book can be read as a stand-alone novel. You’ll just know more
about the secondary characters if you read the books in order. So if you like a
lot of action, passion and humor in your romance, I hope you’ll give the series
a try. J
Before I started writing full-time,
I worked in the local independent film industry. And as I helped directors
cast their feature films, short films, and music videos, I admit I often
imagined casting my own projects . . . namely film versions of my books. With
each book’s release, I rethink my dream cast, adding new cast members and
replacing this or that choice. So I thought I would share with you the latest
Immortal Guardians Dream Cast I’ve concocted for AWAKEN THE DARKNESS’s release.
(I think this is the most extensive one I’ve created thus far, because it
includes immortals, humans, gifted ones,
and a vampire.)

ReplyDeleteBut if you turn them into movies, you HAVE to have full control over the script or they will ruin it :(
ReplyDeletea movie or TV show tends to rune most books because they tend to change so much that being said we need something like this to watch for sure
