I am delighted to say that my teenage daughter enjoyed Berni Stevens’ Immortals of London series so much she has written a guest review.
Dance until Dawn by Berni Stevens
#Immortals of London book 1
The Blurb
Do you Believe in Love After Life?
At 25, West-End dancer, Ellie Wakefield should be having the time of her life. The only problem is, ever since waking up in a leaky cellar belonging to three hundred year old vampire, Will Austen, she’s been very much dead. And to make matters worse, she’s since found that an aversion to blood and a fear of the dark aren’t very helpful – especially when you’re a fledgling vampire.
William James Austen has fallen hard. He’s spent the last year loving Ellie from afar and now he’s finally able to be truthful about who and what he is. As the most powerful and revered vampire in London, he’s used to getting what he wants. But this time, Will might just have bitten off more than he can chew.
Genre: Fantasy / Vampires
Publisher: Choc Lit
Review:
I like vampire books and I am just starting to get more into romance reads and so this appealed to me (also I saw it on my mum’s blog and asked her to get it for me!). I found this book really good. I liked Ellie because she was a strong character and not easily lead. The setting was good and the storyline was interesting. I’d recommend it and I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

Revenge is Sweet by Berni Stevens
#Immortals of London book 2
The Blurb:
Hell hath no fury like a vampire seeking revenge …
Life hasn’t been exactly normal for Ellie since she became a vampire. Although joining the legion of the undead was always going to take some getting used to, even if you are the partner of Will Austen, the Elder of London.
But when Daniel, a fifteen-year-old fledgling vampire, unexpectedly turns up at Ellie’s and Will’s Highgate home, things start getting very strange – and more than a little scary.
Events take a devastating turn as a mystery troublemaker leaves behind a trail of carnage – and it soon becomes clear they will stop at nothing to get the Elder’s attention, even if it involves hurting the person he cherishes the most …
But when it comes to Ellie, Will Austen is the wrong vampire to mess with.
Genre: Fantasy / Vampires

Review:
I really enjoyed the second in this series. The characters and their relationships continued to develop well. There were new characters too, who added to the creative ways death was introduced. I especially liked the unexpected ending. I’d love this series to be made into a film!
