"TWILIGHT MEETS PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" Bellocaro will transport anyone who enjoyed Twilight or loves a gripping paranormal romance... to a new world down South.
Fleeing the school jock who thinks she should be his, Skye Moon encounters a strange boy in the woods. After meeting the mysterious and captivating Thatcher Blue, she is dragged into a nightmare. Skye is targeted by a vampire who wants to kill her just for being near the alluring Thatcher.
With a target on her back, she doesn't know if she'll survive. Skye hopes that the dark-eyed boy from her premonitions will keep her safe, if he ever reveals himself.
She is astonished when Thatcher and his family come to the high school run by her mother. Thatcher has managed to keep the secrets of his monster family hidden for more than a century, but not from Skye. She rightly suspects the new kids are something other than 'kids.'
Complicating matters is the way Thatcher looks at her, like she means the world to him because he has visions too. The pair find themselves caught between danger and longing.
Will Thatcher save her?
Or like his visions have predicted -kill her?
Profoundly romantic and thrilling, Bellocaro captures the life and death struggle between disobeying your intuition and following your heart. Award winning, best selling author P.S. Meraux brings humor and heat to this vampire love story that will drive fans of books like Twilight or Shade of Vampire wild with enthusiasm.

Review!
Skye Moon has been transported to the mysterious island of Sceadu away from her home and mother in Atlanta. Skye must live on the magical island alongside other magical creatures until she figures out the reason that the island brought her there. Skye has had prophetic dreams, she foresaw her mother's cancer and lately has been seeing a man with dark eyes and a scar on his hand trying to protect her from something. When Skye receives a request from Sceadu Academy's headmistress to help show around several new kids, she never expects Thatcher Blue. Skye knows that something is different about Thatcher and his family, his sister Rane and his cousins Wes and Alton. As Skye spends time with the unlikely family, she begins to unravel who they are, their connection to her dreams and the dangerous figure that appears in them.
Bellocaro claims to be "Twilight meets Pride and Prejudice." This is definitely a young adult paranormal romance in a very similar vein to Twilight. What was intriguing about Bellocaro was the setting of Sceadu. Having werewolves, vampires and elves in this magical setting made it a lot easier to imagine all of these creatures coexisting in the world. I was very interested in Sceadu, probably as much as Skye was. Not much information is given about the island and we know about as much as Skye does as to where it is, how it functions and why she is there. The characters are as I expected, they are all interesting, but not too deep. I am very interested in Skye's dreams and how they are connected to Thatcher. Thatcher, Rane and their cousins were an interesting group and I'm glad we got to see some of their history, how they became what they are and why they are after the same foe. The romance is pretty quick and a little cheesy, but there are still plenty of heartfelt and tender moments. There is a lot of description in the first part of the story and the action picks up towards the end. I would love to know a little more about the mysterious monster chasing Skye and why he has zeroed in on her. Overall, an interesting and more magical take on Twilight in a unique setting.
This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
About P.S. Meraux:
I mainline coffee and chocolate, worry about the width of my hips and peruse too many cooking magazines. I suspect I wouldn't fret about one if I didn't indulge in the other. I'm obsessive about quality, so much so, I keep going back to tweak my earlier books, hoping to make them better. "Why are your characters flawed?" one reviewer asked. "Because people are," I replied. Although I'm very protective of them, hoping beyond measure that they'll find acceptance. Not ridicule. As a true 'GRITS' (girl raised in the south) people expect me to have bat-shit crazy relatives. The question here isn't IF, but rather, which side of the family are they on? Needless to say they offer a pool of inspiration into which I liberally dip. My characters are a bit OCD. Not in the vein of obsessive-compulsive, that would be too a la carte, mine are 'occasionally crazy or damaged.' And I think you'll enjoy them. As someone who understands wrestling with complex issues, it's easy to share their stories. I myself grew up with an ill mum, so I began creating imaginary friends at a young age to keep me company. In addition to writing and cooking, I'm an avid mountain climber who keeps up with an assortment of pets. As a life-long globe trotter, I can tell you that I like nothing better than a good story and a road trip. I hope you enjoy this one. Please let me know what works and what doesn't. I'm always interested in hearing feedback, reviews, comments, and questions are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Happy reading.
