Crown of Shadows and Stars Series by C.L. Riley

It’s a whole new world and I’m alone. And I’m starving…for blood. The last thing I remember is Rain taking an arrow to the heart, choosing my life over hers in an act of selfless bravery I’ll never forget. Obeying her final command, I disappeared from my would-be killers, hiding inside the one place they refused to follow. The haunted temple. I have no memory of my temple ordeal. And now I’m here. The “other” place. A world dominated by technology not magic... moreIt’s a whole new world and I’m alone. And I’m starving…for blood. The last thing I remember is Rain taking an arrow to the heart, choosing my life over hers in an act of selfless bravery I’ll never forget. Obeying her final command, I disappeared from my would-be killers, hiding inside the one place they refused to follow. The haunted temple. I have no memory of my temple ordeal. And now I’m here. The “other” place. A world dominated by technology not magic. A world without my four thieves to protect me. How will I fulfill the prophecy if I’m stuck here? I’m not just trapped. I’m afraid. And when I think about my thirst for blood, I grow fangs. Yes, fangs! I changed inside the temple, for the worse. I’m no longer just a princess in love with her four protectors. I’m something more…something deadly. War, Faze, Jam and Kaz will do everything in their power to rescue me, but perhaps they shouldn’t. I hunger now for more than their affection; I crave their essence. There’s a good chance I’ll consume them, one by one, unable to resist my unholy cravings. Whoever or whatever brought these wicked desires to life must die for their treachery. Then, if I survive, I’ll fight to save both worlds and my loved ones before I’m lost to the bloodlust forever. Disclaimer: Saving Jaslynn is a fairy tale retelling loosely based on Aladdin and The Arabian Nights . It is for readers 18 and older due to language, adult themes and sexual situations. But despite the warning, you can expect humor, no cheating, and a happily ever after. For those new to the genre, this is a “WhyChoose” Romance, often referred to as Reverse Harem Romance. This is the second volume of a book duo/duet. The first book, Finding Jaslynn , must be read first. less
