I loved this book! J.D Brown has become my new favorite author! I was pulled in the first chapter and was up all night reading this book! If you love vampire books then you need to read this series!
I finally found the time to read the first book in the Ema Marx series by JD Brown, and was pleasantly surprised! The first book of a first series often leaves readers flat. What we hope for is that the writer will improve with each subsequent book. But to get us to read the next book, first they have to capture our interest.
And, guess what? Jen did! I love vamps, I mean, who doesn’t, right? What made her unusual was, she wasn’t bitten against her will. That is getting old, in my opinion. No, she did something different. And it’s an unusual twist. I won’t give it away because there may be some out there who haven’t read this yet, but, suffice it to say, it gives the storyline a little bit of an unusual twist that grabbed my interest and held it throughout.
This wasn’t the best one, I’m sure. She was green, a new author finding her footing. But I give her kudos for doing it well enough that I want to read book 2 to see where it goes. Which is where I’m off to now!
Great job for a newbie, JD Brown! I’m really excited to keep on going, which is hard to do for me, so great job indeed! On to Dark Liaison!

This story is incredible. The main characters are intriguing and deep. There are layers of different stories, yet all culminating into the main story and they’re all interwoven beautifully. Left me wanting more and ready to keep listening to the next book.
The narrator does a fabulous job with all of the accents and her inflections are spot on.
I’m a romance girl, through and through, but as soon as I started listening to this audiobook I was hooked! MJ Webb has so many voices that I worried that she has multiple personalities at one point; how can one woman do that? She’s amazing, and has mastered both male and female voices as well as many dialects and accents. Her way with accents is great too.
The story from JD Brown is totally compelling, but again I think that having it read to me is what makes it. There is so much movement and feeling within the writing that the reader feels part of the story; much of that is that MJ Webb really brings the story to life, almost making the listener part of the furniture or one of the characters themselves. You feel as though you need to respond to the dialogue!
MJ Webb puts so much angst and passion into her performance that it was really hard to turn her off! I wanted to listen, to know what was going to happen next in the story. I really didn’t want it to end and then it came to a cliff hanger and I couldn’t start the next book quick enough!
I loved this audiobook and I’m totally recommending it to you as a either a seasoned Vampire reader or if your like me a first time Paranormal Reader. xx
I received a free copy of this audio book from the author and provide my honest review voluntarily.
This book was marvelous! Full of surprises, mystery and vampire’s like you have never seen before. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. As the storyline went on, the more I felt excitement rise in me.
Ema, the main character, basically has an Jersey attitude, smart mouth, sarcastic, and nobody tells her what to do. So what happens when you wake up in a strange place and the last thing you remember is a man and woman trying to kill you? Why you laugh out loud at them telling you that they are vampires and you are too now. What? Ema doesn’t believe in such things.
It get better and better with each turn of the page. I can’t wait to read book 2 !
I received an ARC from the author and have chosen to review it. I really enjoyed this book it was a different take on paranormal creatures that I hadn’t read before. At times the storyline would get very slow with Ema trying investigating her powers and trying to figure out which clan she belonged to. Also some of the wording and the language would get confusing at times just because it was something I had ever heard of before. It did eventually pick up the pace and it got really good. I can’t wait to see what happens with the characters as the series continues.
I enjoyed this book it is book one in the An Ema Marx series . It was a hard to put down book the story line was good the characters as well.
Ok. Wow. That was a freaking awesome book. I couldn’t put it down. I had no idea what was going on around me. I was totally and completely engrossed in the story. It came as a shock when the book ended and now I need the next one.
Embark on this thrilling and engaging tale of a Romani girl who becomes a Vampyre. I totally and thoroughly recommend this book.
