Gemstone - Ann Gimpel

. .

Résumé :
Niall's nothing if not charming with his Irish brogue and dashing good looks. Jaguar shifter and player to the core, he's a love 'em and leave 'em type. His job as a paramedic keeps him busy and offers under-the-table opportunities to splash a wee bit of magic around. In a world where magic is all but invisible, Sarai and her family fly beneath the radar living on a small ranch outside Denver. She only takes her wolf form on the darkest nights when discovery is unlikely. Captured by a vampire consortium hellbent on world domination, she watches with horror as they siphon her power, diverting it to kill humans for sport. An unnatural fog causes a ten-car pileup. Niall nearly chokes on the thick, malevolent power hanging around the accident site. Anger running just below boiling point, he takes his jaguar form and follows a scent track, making a discovery that changes everything. For once, he curses his curiosity and wishes he'd left well enough alone. Vampires are rising. Fueled by shifter magic, their evil threatens not just him but magic's very existence.

Biographie:
Ann Gimpel is a USA Today bestselling author. A lifelong aficionado of the unusual, she began writing speculative fiction a few years ago. Since then her short fiction has appeared in several webzines and anthologies. Her longer books run the gamut from urban fantasy to paranormal romance. Once upon a time, she nurtured clients. Now she nurtures dark, gritty fantasy stories that push hard against reality. When she's not writing, she's in the backcountry getting down and dirty with her camera. She's published more than 50 books to date, with several more planned for 2018 and beyond. A husband, grown children, grandchildren, and wolf hybrids round out her family. Keep up with her at www.anngimpel.com or http://anngimpel.blogspot.com If you enjoyed what you read, get in line for special offers and pre-release special reads. Sign up for Ann's newsletter on her website or her blog. The above is my standard spiel at the end of every book. I will say this non-fiction book was hard to write, much more challenging than knocking out fiction. I do hope you'll give some of my other books a whirl, but I understand if you're not a fiction reader.
