About The Book
Title: Madison’s Song
Author: Christine Amsden
Genre: Dark Paranormal Romance
Her voice is
enchanting; his soul is black…
Madison
Carter has been terrified of Scott Lee since the night he saved her from an
evil sorcerer – then melted into a man-eating monster before her eyes. The
werewolf is a slave to the moon, but Madison’s nightmares are not.
Despite her
fears, when Madison’s brother, Clinton, is bitten by a werewolf, she knows
there is only one man who can help. A man who frightens her all the more
because even in her nightmares, he also thrills her.
Together for
the first time since that terrible night, Scott and Madison drive to Clinton’s
home only to discover that he’s vanished. Frantic now, Madison must overcome
her fears and uncover hidden strengths if she hopes to save him. And she’s not
the only one fighting inner demons. Scott’s are literal, and they have him
convinced that he will never deserve the woman he loves.
*Stand-alone
companion to the Cassie Scot series

Book Excerpts
“Silence,” David
commanded.
Her throat
continued to work, but no sound emerged. She felt like a fish being gutted,
choking and spluttering as David returned to the work of cutting into the soft,
sensitive flesh of her belly. Yet even as tears refilled her eyes and fear devoured
her heart, some part of her recognized that her guts remained intact. Whatever
David was doing to her with the dagger involved tracing shallow patterns across
the surface of her skin.
Fight the pain.
Take deep breaths. Ground and center. She was not in the empty living room of a
house she had not quite moved into yet, she was at church, singing in the
choir. Above her, Jesus hung from a cross, a crown of thorns atop his head, a
soft glow surrounding him. She usually found the magic within that glow. She
reached for it...
“Stop that!”
David slapped her hard across the face.
Once again her
eyes flew open. She saw the dagger dripping with blood – her blood. Had her
feeble grab for magic actually made a difference? David seemed to have noticed something,
but what?
“You're just
making this harder on yourself,” David said.
“What do you
want?” Madison tried to ask. Her mouth moved, her lips forming the question,
but no sound emerged.
She didn't think
he would answer; he couldn't even have heard the question, but to her surprise
he only hesitated a moment before saying, “Your soul.”
Review:
I
love stories about shifters and this one is chock full of shifters and magic
and love. All three in one story are a
bonus in my world. It is also about
family, real family, who would do anything for those they love.
I love this author and this book is just as good as I expected from her.
I
give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
Thank you!
