Author Pyxi Rose won me over with this unique and unusual tale of Gaelic undertones, vampires and the Taghairms, unique beings with otherworldly powers. Family relationships are important in this story; the connections the vampires have to each other and the nine Taghairm and their parents, a god and goddess. But just as in any family, things are not all warm and happy. Rivalries, mistrust, fear, and a love of power are constantly threatening the foundations of these families, their members and the secrets between them. These secrets are dark; so dark they ripple across our world and into the next.Talula is the Ninth Taghairm, a being unique from her sisters, different from all the rest, and is searching for peace from the secrets that have haunted her for centuries. Gadin is her unlikely vampire lover, his destiny fated to hers in ways almost unknown. If we've ever had a desire to be immortal, Pyxi gives us a good preview of that existence, and why it's more likely to be a cursing than a blessing.This story moves along at a good brisk clip and it's tough to put down. It's a satisfying read and the author's promise of more to come makes the reader smile. Definitely five stars.
