Julie Knight's life is changed in a breathless instant, when she learns of the gruesome death of her beloved father. Reeling from the unimaginable loss, she returns to the small, southern town of Spring Place, GA. There she is comforted by friends she thinks of as family, confused by feelings for a man who is nothing like the one she once knew, and baffled by mysterious dreams of a haunting destiny.

Daniel Maxwell is no longer the awkward young man with eyes only for his sister's best friend. He is a handsome, charming, accomplished scientist...with eyes only for his sister's best friend. Not only does he ache to ease Julie's heartbreak over the loss of her father, he is determined to protect her from an ominous fate.

Julie learns it isn't only the past that draws her to Daniel, but a Lycan heritage that also ties them as mates in a sinister fate that could tear them apart forever. Together, they will forge alliances with other creatures of the night in an effort to save each other, and the love that binds them, from the deadly pack that roams the Dark of kNight.

I enjoyed this story immensely! Ms. Mitchell writes with a poetic voice, painting a vivid world filled with engaging characters that spoke to this southerner's romantic heart. She combines strong elements of traditional romance with fresh slants on paranormal lore, and adds enough suspense and intrigue to keep the pages turning, and your heart longing for more. I look forward to more of this wonderful series from this talented author!

Hey All , Are you into the whole Supernatural theme at the moment . No Im not talking about ghosts, demons , fallen angels. This one goes with the theme of books like Twilight and Kelley Armstrong's books Men and Woman of the otherworld. This one has Lycans - which funnily enough I had never heard that word till I watched the movies Underworld -though of course its like been around for yonks. Werewolves and Vampires. In this Novel -the Werewolves are the baddies and The Lycans are the good folk and Vampires are like a miniority. This novel is for those who prefer a bit more coverage of Lycans/Werewolves rather than the other supernatural Creature of the Vampire. This makes a good change , as Vampires have been quite publicised lately.

Today's Book Review comes from New Author TL Mitchell and is the start of a new series by her called "Dark of kNight" - The series is going to be called "of kNight".

Dark of kNight

I have read a couple of ebooks published by Wild Horse Press which include ebooks by Jessica Coulter Smith, Linda Palmer and Paige Warren. So when Wild Horse Press contacted me to inquire if I accepted review requests from publishers and asked me if I would like to review T.L. Mitchell's debut novel Dark of kNight, which is the first book of her Dark of kNight series and I accepted. I love their website because it is so clean and easy to find everything you would like to know about their authors, books and submission guidelines and more. I might really consider submitting my manuscript to them if I ever get it finished and editing enough to fit their requirements for submission. I found out that T.L. had previously self-published this novel with AuthorHouse but pulled it out and decided to have it re-issued in a second edition in eBook format with Wild Horse Press. Well onto the book review for T.L. Mitchell's debut novel, Dark of kNight, that I will say right off I really enjoyed reading and I would love to read the next book in the series. The heroine of the novel and series is Julie Knight and she never really knew how much her life would change after the death of her beloved father. So after returning home to Spring Place, GA, the mysterious animal attacks begin that start to change her world in ways that she never knew possible. The small town is in an uproar over the horrific killings and that is when Julie finds herself in danger when the truth of who she is has finally been revealed to her. The last of a thousand year old bloodline of Lycans, Guardians of the mysterious Fort Mountain is all depending on her and her mate to continue the line or it would be the end for the Lycans. Now the hero of the novel and series is Daniel Maxwell, the handsome, dark, yet mysterious scientist returns home for the funeral and he has definitely has changed, but his love for Julie remains the same. She is what he has always wanted, has always been what he needs in his life though he has never said anything about it to Julie. Daniel would die for her and he would kill for her because that is how passionate and true his love for her is.

The passions begin to flare and so does the romance between Julie and Daniel though it seems like it is going to fast they don't know or want it to stop. Joining forces with a mysterious group of moon-eyed people, together they must prepare for the ultimate battle—the battle against a deadly pack of werewolves. Can Julie and Daniel's love be strong enough to protect them from their dangerous desires? Or will they be forever lost in the Dark of kNight? Well I think that Julie and Daniel's love is strong enough to protect them from their dangerous desires because they have the determination to live and love one another that being lost in the dark of kNight is not an option for them. It took reading the first two chapters to hook me into the plot of the novel and not let me go even after I had finished the novel to the start of what I can tell will be an intriguing and suspenseful series. T.L. Mitchell delivers an exciting and suspenseful debut paranormal romance novel that will captivate you from the start and will have you wondering what would happen next for Julie and Daniel as well as the rest of the wonderfully written secondary characters. After reading this novel I was sad that the novel had to end but was excited that Julie and Daniel with the rest of the secondary characters would be coming back for another round in the second novel, Fall of kNight, in her Dark of kNight series. This is a series that I will definitely be keeping an eye out for because it has everything I need in a series, wonderful primary and secondary characters that capture my interest from the start, a suspenseful and exciting plot that has me wanting more and definitely the paranormal element that takes me out of my everyday life. I give this book 4 Open Books:

Review by  Judy Conn,  Walden Books 0452    10/14/09

    I read the Dark of kNight book by T.L. Mitchell, with little knowledge of the book or the author.  To my delight this story kicks off immediately, without a lot of dreary foreplay.  Ms. Mitchell catches your attention from the first and you keep wondering, what next?  While details make a story complete, no one needs 3 pages of the sun setting or the house burning down.  Dark of kNight provides the details when needed and a good dialogue to go hand in hand.

     This new author has taken a poplular genre and gave it new life.  I would compare her writing to Keri Arthur, romance, suspense, humor and of course good and evil.
