I am so excited to be participating in the blog tour. I am huge fan of Katie Salidas and her Immortalis series. On my stop there is an excerpt, my review, and giveaway.
Katie Salidas is a Super Woman! Endowed with special powers
and abilities, beyond those of mortal women, She can get the munchkins off to
gymnastics, cheerleading, Girl Scouts, and swim lessons. She can put hot food on the table for dinner
while assisting with homework, baths, and bedtime… And, she still finds the
time to keep the hubby happy (nudge nudge wink wink). She can do all of this
and still have time to write.
And if you can
believe all of those lies, there is some beautiful swamp land in Florida for
sale…
Katie Salidas resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mother, wife,
and author, she does try to do it all, often causing sleep deprivation and many
nights passed out at the computer. Writing books is her passion, and she hopes
that her passion will bring you hours of entertainment.

A gathering storm of violence is on the horizon. Whispered
threats of the Acta Sanctorum’s return have the supernatural world abuzz. Only
recently aware of the other world hidden behind our own, Kitara Vanders has
barely scratched the surface of what being supernatural truly means. A special
woman in her own right, she possesses unique telepathic abilities, gifts that
have recently come under the scrutiny of the Acta Sanctorum, a fanatical
organization whose mission is to cleanse the world of anything supernatural.
Targeted, and marked for death, Kitara’s only hope lies with the lethally seductive
yet emotionally scarred warrior, Nicholas.
Knowing full well the atrocities the Acta Sanctorum is
capable of, Nicholas is all too eager for the battle to begin. Fueled by pain
and rage from the loss of his mate, he’s itching for a fight, but one thing
stands in his way, Kitara: a beautiful dark-haired woman with unique psychic
abilities and an unusual link to the Saints. Despite his resolve to remain
focused on his mission, a purely physical relationship binds them together in a
way neither of them expected. And when her life hangs in the balance, Nicholas
finds his own is teetering on the edge too.
Excerpt:
“You really don't care about human life, do you?"
Though her heart pounded erratically with fear, there was none in her angry
voice.
“Nope.” Nicholas was not about to get into a morality war
with this woman. He pulled out the dead man’s wallet and tossed it aside.
“Nothing good here.”
“You’re an asshole, you know that?”
He’d been called that by so many people, but somehow hearing
her say it struck a chord with him. “I’ve been called worse.” He tried to sound
as if he didn’t care, but for some strange reason, he did. He opened his mouth
to say something, but found the words escaped him. Humans never understood.
Perhaps it was better off she thought him a jerk.
“I can’t believe you. Human life has to hold some meaning.”
“It does. If humans weren’t around, I’d have to eat
animals.”
“You’re nothing but a monster, just like Jeremy said.”
That hurt. He had saved her life, and she hated him for it.
He turned on her, anger setting his heart pounding. How dare she talk this way
to him after he’d saved her? “He would have killed you without a second
thought. That’s what the Saints do. They are the real monsters, not me.”
Perhaps it was his suddenly sharp tone, or maybe she
realized he was telling the truth; whatever it was, Kitara paused. He heard her
take a deep breath. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have snapped at you like that. You
did save me. I’ve... I’ve just never witnessed a murder.” Her body was still
trembling, and her heart thumped so erratically that he wondered if she might
pass out. The tang of her fear wafted up to his nose. “You tore that guy’s
throat out, in front of me. You killed him. You drank his blood.”
Nicholas attempted to temper the anger in his voice with
patience in the hopes of getting her to relax. "Vampires drink blood,
sweetheart.”
My Review:
I love the Immortalis series by Katie. I devour every book
as soon as it releases. And Dark Salvation is no exception.
Nicholas is a 2000 year old vampire who is heart broken over
the loss of his mate Rozaline. His pain
is causing problems in his clan daily but one night out with his leader brings
Nicholas face to face with Kitara. Their meeting causes both of their worlds to
change in ways neither expected.
I have loved Nicholas for so long and when I heard there was
going to be a novella about him I was so excited. But when I heard he would be
getting a new mate I wasn’t so sure it would work. But I was so wrong. Kitara
is the perfect mate for him. I loved how the relationship grew over time
instead of love at first sight.
The characters in this series get in your heart, mind, and
soul and just set up camp there never planning on leaving. There are some
steamy scenes that will leave you breathless and needing water afterwards. This
is a great addition to an already amazing series. I already need the next book.
5/5 Bloody Fangs
