I stepped away from psychological thrillers for a bit to
review a paranormal tale in The Golden Apple of Discord, book one of the
trilogy by author Lauren Hodge. How did
I like this change of pace--and The Golden Apple of Discord?
Quick summary of The
Golden Apple of Discord. Taralie Severin and her three sisters make up
a powerful coven of modern-day witches who banish mythical creatures in between
classes and shifts at the police station. But when Taralie is kidnapped by
vampires and converted into the undead, her sisters are ordered to execute her
for crimes against the Milunfran order. Refusing, the sisters become fugitives
from both their kind and vampires alike. Ignorant and hunted, Taralie becomes
entangled with unlikely allies, a band of vampires in hiding from the ruling
vamperic government. With this new addition to their coven Taralie must balance
duty with desire while learning not everything is as it seems, their enemies
are worse than she knows, and she could be on the verge of ending a thousand-year-old
civil war.
The Golden Apple of
Discord takes a different path into the world of witches and vampires. As the
characters learn about life and struggle to protect themselves in their new
world--action, drama, and even love stories emerge from page to page.
Would I recommend The
Golden Apple of Discord? Initially,
I was little confused by the characters--but, after a while, I felt that the
characters became well developed and clear--it just took a little time for me “get
to know them”. The Golden Apple of
Discord is actually written in a simple fashion that helps ease in even new
readers to the genre. I didn't find
myself confused by terms or unfamiliar details.
Instead, I found myself attached to characters--and I am looking forward
to the next book in the series.
