Karolina Dalca, Dark Eyes by M. R. Noble
Series: Dark Eyes #1
Published by Wild Rose Press on 12/16/2020
Genres: Fiction, Romance, Paranormal, General
Format: eBook, Paperback
Pages: 280

Blindsided by an attack that destroys her home and blamed for murder, Karolina Dalca, a half-vampire, escapes, only to plunge into the magical societies from which she was sheltered.

Betrayed by those around her, she abandons her dreams of becoming an investigator and flees, trusting only herself. Her police internship would never prove more useful. Hoofing it through the wilderness, she makes it to her university dorm, disheveled but delightfully deflowered.

Enter a full vampire: one wielding dark magic and a ride out of Canada. A fugitive from the law, Karo complies with his demands to escape, unsure whether his requests are bewitched.

She vows to clear her name and avenge her mother's death, but Karo's family secrets aren't so easily left behind.

My thoughts on Karolina Dalca, Dark Eyes by M.R. Noble

When the phrase “Delightfully Deflowered” is used in the book blurb, it leads you to expect a particular type of book. Then you add vampires, werewolves, gypsies, and magic to this paranormal world, leading you to an urban fantasy feel. Follow this up with epic, violent battles, and you have the Karolina Dalca story wrapped up.

Karo is young, and this shows up frequently in her actions. She makes some odd choices in her quest to find her father and avenge her mother’s death. But, who knows what decisions any of us would make if we were half-vampire, half-gypsy with a werewolf best-friend.

All joking aside, the story will definitely appeal to fans of the Paranormal and Urban-Fantasy genres. There are plenty of battles, angst, romance, and magic to keep the pages turning.

The pacing of the story is good. New characters and situations are introduced often, which keeps the plot moving forward.

The front cover mentions The Dark Eyes series, so I expected there would be more world building and less action. I was so wrong, there is a lot of action.

The story has a young-adult feeI to it and I think it will appeal to a     wide audience.

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
