Genre:
Urban Fantasy
"Vampires,
Immortals, Bacchae—they’re all the same. The name may change, but
their appetites never do."
Ever
since archaeology student Serafina Finch found an ancient Roman
amulet on a dig in Italy, she's been having dreams. Strange dreams
that leave her with an eerie sense of foreboding. But between a busy
college schedule and a boyfriend she's hoping to marry, she doesn't
have time for strange.
Then
a mysterious cult takes an obsessive interest in the artifact.
Serafina finds her life in chaos as she's thrown into the
supernatural world, where Immortals and witches alike claim ownership
of the amulet. Her amulet.
As
her connection to the amulet grows, she discovers a dark secret about
her past. Serafina realizes she must protect the powerful relic at
all costs--even if it means losing one of the people she loves
most.
“Invisible.
Powerful. Immortal. We are Bacchae.”
BIRTH
OF THE BACCHAE is a New Adult Urban Fantasy novel exploring the
origins of vampire lore in a modern setting. Where do the stories
come from? How were vampires created? Do they still exist today?
An action-packed adventure filled with mystery and chaos!
I am a big fan of paranormal and this checked so many of my boxes. The world-building was five stars. Mirro brought to her readers a whole new concept to the origins of the vampire. It was a bit of myth blended with the shattering of most previous definitions.
The cast was expertly crafted the characters felt real. As a reader, I found it easy to relate to them (well the humans) forgetting at times that they were fictitious. Yes, I gasped aloud when they were in trouble - felt angry when they were wronged - wanted to assign time outs when they were just being nasty and
even shed a silent tear here and there when things went downhill.
The story is engaging with all kinds of twists and turns taking the reader with Sera as she discovers her past and tries to protect her future. The author sets a very solid foundation for the long term story line with this first in series release. I was impressed with how well this flowed and the amount of background she was able to provide to me as a reader. Something any paranormal lover can sink their fangs into
Stephanie
Mirro's lifelong love of ancient mythology led to majoring in the
Classics in college, which wasn't quite as much fun as writing her
own mythology stories as she did as a child. But that education,
combined with an overactive imagination and being an avid fantasy
reader, resulted in a writing career.
Starting
her days with coffee and ending them with wine means Stephanie can
usually be found juggling household chores, keeping the kids alive,
and trying to write, edit, publish, and market the stories that haunt
her dreams.
Born
and raised in Southern Arizona, Stephanie now resides in Northern
Virginia with her husband, two kids, and two furbabies. This thing
called "seasons" is still magical.
