“I just couldn’t stop reading. Had me in suspense the whole time. Love the forbidden love story, can’t wait to read the next chapter.”
“High school is challenging enough. Throw in a vampire or two and things can get really confusing! This was my first venture into the blood sucking genre and I was definitely entertained enough to move on to the next in the trilogy.”
“I NEED this book to continue! It was an awesome read! It kept me interested from the beginning to the end! Please hurry with the next!”
Please see a brief description of Ms. Cohen’s forthcoming series, “Into The Light: The Fallen Shadows (Book One)“ below:
Katharine Macklemore had her life entirely mapped out. She was going to go to Harvard Law School and become a world-class lawyer but one frightful night in the town quarry derailed her plans. After being viciously attacked by a grotesque creature, Katharine meets the mysteriously attractive, Ash who teaches her about her true destiny. With her best friend, Molli at her side she is thrust into a world she’d only heard about in Sunday school. Now Katharine must join a war she never knew existed, a war that has been going on for centuries between heaven’s soldiers and the Descended.
As Katharine gets used to her new reality she learns devastating news about her best friend and finds out that Ash is far more mysterious than she could have ever imagined.
