Chasing the Red Queen edition by Karen Glista Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

Karen Glista has been writing for years, spinning countless stories from the real to the life characters who roam and live in her mind. She wishes to share these many beloved, and sometimes, hated individuals with her readers.

When she is not working as a registered nurse in the Great Lake State, she lives a homely life , giving birth to her writings. Chasing the Red Queen falls in the Genres:  Fantasy ,  Paranormal romance, Vampires and was published in March 2018.

Donja Bellanger, suffering after the death of her father, finds herself in an unwanted position when her mother takes a new husband. Forced not only to move to a strange city, but to share a room with her glamorous, new stepsister, Makayla Hampton, her life spirals out of control.

Makayla lures her from goth to glam, straight into an exclusive club, not only for wealthy elites but Immortal Descendants. Donja crosses paths with Torin Mancini and he’s too damn handsome to be real. Torin, who has concealed his identity as a powerful ancient sprit for eight hundred years, sets his eyes on Donja; there’s something about her blood, something he can’t walk away from. He’s not alone. A deadly predator has picked up her scent.

Stalked, she reaches out to Torin, but the lure of her blood has him on edge. As Torin battles his heart desires and feelings he thought buried and gone, one thing is clear: they have as much, if not more to fear of each other than the predator who would have her life.

Is love enough? Can she accept him for what he is and better yet, can he control his hungry eyes? A beautiful love story with relentless action, elite battles and steamy moments.

After her father’s passing, seventeen-year-old, Donja Bellanger’s life spirals out of control and changes immensely. Along with her mother, brother, new stepfather and step sister, Donja moves to a new town called Sault Ste Marie Michigan. Donja copes with life the best she can with her goth appearance and emotional mind state. Wary at first, she soon connects on a deep level with her new glamorous step sister, Makayla. Donja meets Torin Mancini, an especially handsome detective who has been brought on the case involving unsolved murders of Chippewa women.

Torin is a powerful ancient spirit and an 800-year-old immortal descendent. Donja is magnetically pulled towards Torin.Torin finds himself, not only completely attracted, to Donja, but also protecting her from a deadly scheme to take her life. For she is from the ancient bloodline of the Chippewa tribe as well.

Will Donja be able to accept Torin for who he is? And will Torin be able to control his unrelenting desire for Donja.? An engaging, ravishing love story, superior battles and mysterious characters and plot. The syory is about the bad luck that happens to a young woman, Donja and her family. With the unsolved murders involving Chippewa women. The author gives readers a history lesson into the ancient bloodline.

Donja, being of that same bloodline, is what attracts the killers that want to take her life. It is obviously well researched and well written. Karen Glista  has constructed a creative plot with interesting fully fleshed out characters. The characters are woven into the plot like strands of a well-fitting garment The story stretches from murder to vampires to teenage angst. Readers, young and older, will love the characters as they are well developed and multidimensional. The dialogue between the characters, especially between Donja and Torin, is refreshing. It is a beautiful love story filled with action, romance, murder and good and bad vampires.

Karen Glista , with words that flow created a story that readers will marvel in. It’s one of the best books in its genre and I highly recommend it to all vampire and paranormal loving readers that want something of a different flavor.

Chasing the Red Queen edition by Karen Glista Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

Okay, so I’m gonna start this by saying I hated the Twilight series. When I started reading Chasing the Red Queen, I assumed it would be the same sort of sappy, poorly written drivel about a teenage girl who just can’t contain her feelings for the MUCH older, much wiser vampire. I was pleasantly surprised to find a little more depth than I expected as I read on, and ultimately, I enjoyed it.
Donja and Makayla ring true as new stepsisters, working through the sibling rivalry and adjustment difficulties you’d expect in such a situation. Torin is the guy you hate to love, and I found myself rooting them on and hoping he actually would be able to protect her from the other baddies out for her blood, literally. There were a few details I found silly (just call them Vampires. Really.) but overall it was well-put together and had a good flow.
The backdrop of a series of murders in the Chippewa community rang true, and I appreciate that Glista did her homework there. Although I’ve read paranormal stories set in the Native American/First Nations culture before, they’ve mostly had to do with traditional spirits and beliefs. It was an interesting departure to read a vampire romance in that setting.
All in all, I thought Chasing the Red Queen was a pretty captivating read, in spite of my initial suspicions. The fact that it was written with a young adult audience shouldn’t deter an readers who usually pick more adult-themed fare. There’s enough mature content to keep the average reader busy without it being too graphic or heavy for the intended audience. If you like paranormal/vampire romances, this is a book you’d probably like to have on your shelf.
This is a fantasy novel, and if I try to categorize it, the best description would be that it is a vampire saga with a mix of a crime novel. Somehow, the book didn’t quite turn out as I expected since I found the combination of characters and event a bit weird. There are (sort of) four main characters, the cops Torin Mancini and Gage Leblanc, and the stepsisters Donja Bellanger and Makayla Hampton who tie the knot of step-sisterhood as Donja’s mom Lisa and Makayla’s dad, Carson tie the knot of marriage. Close to the wedding, someone starts raping, killing and drinking the blood of young Chippewa women. Victims amount with a rapid pace and Torin and Gage need to solve the cases fast. But Torin and Gage are not just plain mortals, they are predators with eternal lives and solving the case turns into a personal battle. The goth Donja and the class queen Makayla, on the other hand, develop an unusual friendship, finding a common ground in the goth-glam style despite the differences.
The line of the story would be attractive for readers who are fans of the vampire eroticism because Donja and Torin have a fated meeting and get into that “desirous, beastly, oh-I-want-you-so-much-I-need-to-drink-your-blood, from-here-to-eternity” feelings. There is a pretty violent, coarse language and dialogue, which somehow didn’t seem to fit into the almost teen-like idea behind the book. That was my issue - some trimming of the events and characters might do the work.
