Reader Review: “The characters are complex and believable. Sam’s journey, from despair to hope to triumph, is moving and emotional. Souders’ descriptions of the guitar and the music were exquisite and I felt like I could almost hear Sam playing her guitar. I urge T.M. Souders to consider a sequel, as I grew attached to these characters and am eager to see what the future holds.” Nancy Wood

Since the tender age of eight, music served as Samantha Becker’s source of solace against her father’s tyranny and her mother’s alcoholism. Now at eighteen, her only dream is to study classical guitar at Juilliard. But when her father’s careless actions lead to an “accident,” which threatens her ability to play the guitar, Sam becomes despondent. Losing all confidence in her future, Sam hides behind the emotional barriers that have protected her for years.
Just when Sam has given up, two unexpected people enter her life, giving her the confidence she needs and forcing her to evaluate all she’s ever known. Battling her father’s plans for her future, band mates using her for personal gain, and a permanent injury, the odds are stacked against her. With auditions approaching and time running out, Sam must relearn to play the guitar, or be destined to give up her dreams forever.

inReader Review: “This book provides a masterful, exciting, and thought-provoking view
of the historical evolution of racial relations from both the white
and the the black perspectives. In my opinion, it is a virtually
untouched subject matter for well-written historical romance novels.
The author is extremely effective in utilizing dialogue and character
development to evoke the reader’s own emotional response without
interjecting her own political or moral beliefs on the subject matter.
It is a page-turner from beginning to end. I was not able to keep from
thinking about the story during the day and even dreamed about it at
night until I finished the book. I highly recommend this book and am
eagerly awaiting to read more of Maria McKenzie’s writing.” –Michele Prell

Book 4 in the Immortalis series
It’s a desperate time for rookie vampire Alyssa, and her sanity is hanging by a slender thread. Her clan is still reeling from the monumental battle with Aniketos; a battle that claimed the body of Lysander, her sire and lover, and trapped his spirit in a mysterious crystal. A Soulstone.
Unfortunately, no amount of magic has been able to release Lysander’s spirit, and the stone is starting to fade. Weeks of effort have proved futile. Her clan, the Peregrinus, have all but given up hope. Only Alyssa still believes her lover can be released. In despair, Alyssa begs the help of the local witch coven, and unwittingly exposes the supernaturals of Boston to unwanted attention from the Acta Sanctorum.
The Saints converge on the city and begin their cleansing crusade to rid the world of all things “Unnatural.” In the middle of an all-out war, but no closer to a solution to the dying stone, Alyssa is left with an unenviable choice: save her mate, or save her clan.

“After being kidnapped and used as a sex-slave, Inga finally manages to escape. She is picked up on the road, and rescued from her captors. But at what cost? Just when you think she is home-free, Inga ends up in another situation even more dangerous than the first. All she wants is to get back home to her worried mother, but first she has to survive. I enjoyed this book very much. Natasha Salnikova has a talent for colorful description. She paints a picture with her words that will transport your imagination through many emotions as Inga struggles to get out of some really horrific situations. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Supernatural thrillers.” –Nanci Rogers (Amazon Review)
_______________________________________________________
Inga manages to escape from a “house of terror” where she was held as a captive along with other girls who were kidnapped. She is chased into the woods and runs onto the road, almost falling under the wheels of an approaching car. She thought, it would be better to die that way than to return to her captors. The driver of the car, to her surprise, saves her. He brings her to his house and introduces her to his family: his mother, his father and his younger sister. He gives Inga a key to a separate room and brings her food. She appreciates his help and calls him her knight from the road. All she needs now is a phone to make a call to her mother. Her savior, Alman, says they don’t have one in the house. He’s also not in a hurry to take her from his house in the woods to the town where she can talk to police. And Inga began to doubt the noble intentions of her savior. After some time she starts to think this house is worse than the one she was imprisoned in before, if that was possible.
