The Medium #1 – My first read by Ms. Graham, and I liked and hated it. I’m bored by most vampire stories but this finely crafted story kept my interest, although I had to take two weeks to read it. It’s wordy with repetition and I needed breathers from the intensity and darkness. Ms. Graham took several themes and combined them into a substantial read using vampires, ghosts, mediums and a few other paranormals. Add heavy doses of insanity, cruelty (nothing graphic), loyalty and other thought/behavior patterns, coupled with a large range of emotions. The characters develop throughout the story adding to the tapestry of the storylines. Ms. Graham took several common, overused themes and made them fresh and original. Imagine a vampire/medium as a kidnap victim. The reader actually feels sorry for him as well as frustrated by his thoughts and actions. The vivid descriptions place the reader in the story without any graphic, gory details. There’s room for how gory the reader wants the violence. The dialog is well written and it’s wonderful to find a book that’s properly edited. Clean with no vulgar language. 4*
The Mora #2 – This book starts six years after The Medium ends and was much easier to read. This book, like the first, has great storylines and characters that make reading the series interesting and substantial. Some of the characters that were dropped along the lines in Medium are back continuing beside new characters. More of the paranormals are added to the mix and there’s travel outside of TX and MA. This book does better with the wordiness that I found with Medium. There’s still the psychology and originality with the storylines and characters. Clear, vivid descriptions, good dialog and clean with no vulgar language. I contacted the author to review her books after reading The Medium. 4*
The Mage #3 – This book starts with Kim’s past in 1985. Without giving away spoilers since this is a review and not a book report, The Mage continues with the interesting storylines, the strongly defined characters and the intrigue and psychology. Well written and well edited; clean with no vulgar language; vivid descriptions kept the reader immersed in the pages. While The Medium took me a long time to read, The Mage flowed quickly but I’m also heavily invested in the series by now. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 4*
This story is very original. The main character is a nice guy who doesn’t want to kill people, no he cannot kill people. He is connected to people in death (thus, the medium). Such a wonderful character. Then enters the bad guy. This story will grab you on page one and keep you reading to the end. Excellent story and I hope there are many more to come.

He is more than a vampire he is a medium. He is not a good vampire and he is kidnapped by something even worse. He knows this creature needs help. What is he going to do? Can he help them? He may need the help of someone else. See how he gets on
