Caught between the law, love and a secret society, will Ella achieve justice?Catching supernatural crooks freelance, earns shitloads of money! Shitloads of money don’t mean safety though, and I knew today was going to be a rough day, with potential for a lot of violence. I hid my eyes behind the ‘Bad Boys’ sunglasses, shot Commander Procter a saluting finger with my pretend ‘Banger’ and headed … down the corridor of the Supernatural Congress Unit’s headquarters. Case noted. A scandalous Mayoral daughter gone missing after a drunken birthday party night, a ransom note and a very unhappy Mayor. Not good for elections, the government nor the SCU. Granteor didn’t tolerate supernaturals in society and finding a missing girl among vampires, without revealing my own identity, added to the danger when having to tip-toe around the Defence Officer, Ricky and the nosy reporter, Jacqueline.

DrakElla – The Ransom of the Dead by T.M. Caruana is a wonderful story that I have read. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series and I can not wait to read the next book in this wonderful series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy and cozy mysteries.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a quick paranormal read. You have Drakella who is half vampire half witch as the main detective in a case. This has a great plot and can’t wait for the next book.
This isn’t my normal read so understanding this was hard at times to be honest. It was also was very predictable with how it ended. It’s a short read,which I’m guessing will lead up to another book. I liked Ella and her friends in this. She’s persistent with finding out the truth, I’ll give her that
This book was short and sweet. It was a page turner and left me wanting to read more. I hope more books come out about Ella.
I received a copy of Drakella – Ransom of the Dead by author T.M. Caruana. My review is based on my own opinions, and I was not coerced or compensated for it.
Ella is a half-witch/half-vampire and works at the Headquarters of the Supernatural Congress Unit. She is tasked to find the Mayors 18 year old missing daughter.
She must solve the case and return the girl in one piece dead or alive, with the intel she is given.
Ella has a badass demeanour and is fearless, devoted and extremely skilled in her profession.
Despite working alone, she sees Ricky a member of the Defence Unit, with whom she has a crush on, is also working the case. He is judgemental and is against all things paranormal, she knows they could never be a couple.
It was a short novella but didn’t feel rushed. It held great dialogue, great characters and very descriptive I could easily follow on and understand the story.
In full disclosure this is the first book I have read by the author and it is a new genre, paranormal, for me, but I enjoyed it. As a reader I wanted to see if I could understand the genre and T.M. Caruana was effortless in her writing.
I loved the dynamic of the relationship between Ella and Piper, her best friend who was a vampire. The witty humour and friendly banter was fun, entertaining and reminded me of how best friends are. It was believable.
I liked the book, would have liked to read more, but I would recommend it.
T.M. Caruana
A fun quick story that has our heroine trying to solve a murder as she takes on other supernatural characters. Loved the whole development of this short story and the way it led you on a journey that was fast paced but entrancing.
This is a quick read about a vamp/witch tough woman trying to solve a crime. There a lot going on and it takes a second to follow along, but it’s a good plot with interesting characters.
This was a bizarre,wordy short story.
It had alot going on in the first bit. Then sorta lagged and dragged on at the end. Which is kind of hard to believe for such a short tale.
I found it hard to get into and it was confusing with all the different places, creatures and some of their powers. I found the quick ending off putting and lame.
Ella is on the case to find out who murdered the more daughter. While on the case, her crush from another agency aids in the investigation.
2 stars. Not for me.
This was a quick but cute story about a detective named Drakella who is half witch half vampire who is just trying to do her job without getting killed. She is kind of quirky but sweet but she is ready to take on any kind of monster.
A great short story with:
– A strong Heroine
– A man she is attracted to
– Action
– Murder
– Mystery
– Suspense
– A great story line
Paranormal short story with a kick-butt female character who is half witch, half vampire. She is a detective for the paranormal and a total bad-a$$. There’s drama, twists, playful banter with her BFF and some action. This is the first story in a series and I’m excited to read the next one!
