 I love to read paranormal and romantic suspense so when you put the two together I am in my reader element! Virna DePaul is a new author to me so when I had the chance to read the first book in The Belladonna Agency Series (Bantam) TURNED, I couldn't pass it up. This book has everything you could want and so, SO much more!! Ms. DePaul has set up a paranormal world that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very beginning. 
 Virna DePaul's use of Vampires and humans and the struggles that they each have to face with while also protecting a secrete was written so well, her ability to connect the two when they needed each other as well as showing the power struggles that are among them. Ty Duncan struggles with the constant battle between embracing the vampire inside him and the possibility of losing his humanity all together. Ana Garcia carries not only scars on the outside but on the inside as well. Still with all these two had been through you couldn't help but sympathize for the past and see how much that can affect the present and the future. 
 Ms. DePaul has set the basis for a kickass series, these characters are strong, likeable, the suspense is heart stopping and the romance will keep you turning the page for more. The added chemistry between the characters just adds to the thrill of it all. The Belladonna Agency has been put together to make one formidable team and from one page to the next you don't know what to expect.
