About this ebook

For four thousand years, creatus have concealed themselves from the humans who hunted them almost to extinction. Unwittingly, one creatus will endanger them all...

As with most of his family, Derrick Ashton knows his future and what position he's destined to fill within his unique society. Everything changes, however, when he breaks one of his family's strictest laws and falls in love -- with a human.

In his quest to protect the woman he can never have, a twist of fate propels him into a new role that will cause dissension among his family and endanger the anonymity that they've spent thousands of years protecting.

Now, he will risk everything to save the girl from humans and his own kind. The one thing he can't save her from, however...is herself.

The Creatus series is not your normal paranormal story... It's a realistic romantic mystery based on the myths you've heard your entire life. Prepare to believe.

Ratings and reviews

Despite falling short of more accurately depicting the deeply earth-colored, nurturing, and docile humans who would have existed on earth pre-Watcher/alien encounters, and the author's dedicated use of a very pessimistic point-of-view from which to focus a lens on humanity as a whole, the Creatus series still offered a fun read with solid characters, a good plot, and some welcomed mythological references.

I got the first ebook free I liked it so I bought this box set sadly with all 5 books it turned out to be under 439 pages? I would have been better to spend a few extra bucks for the individual ebooks and have over 1200 pages to read I won't make the mistake of reading this person's ebooks again shorting pages is theft

I really enjoyed the series. I just wish there was more build up for Michael`s "falling", as i waited so long to see when it was his turn. Love the characters and love the story line. Definitely want to read about O`Brien & Arthur!

About the author

A romantic suspense writer, Carmen DeSousa's stories overflow with romance, mystery, suspense, a hint of paranormal sometimes and, of course, tragedy. After all, what would a great story be without a tragic event setting the stage? All of her novels are sensual but not erotic, gripping but not graphic, and will make readers cry, laugh, love, and hope. Although some of her titles clearly include supernatural or ghostly beings, her writing dances on the edge of the paranormal. Carmen's hope is that as you read her stories, you'll wonder, "Hmmm...what if?"

As most authors, I blame my leap into a full-time career as a professional writer on my love of reading. Reading has always been an escape for me. When life was rough as a child, I could always disappear into a book. But I found something else too... I discovered that writing out my thoughts was healing. Not only could I create hope for my protagonists, but I could do away with the antagonists--legally. 

When I penned my first novel, 'She Belongs to Me', I allowed only my cousin and best friend to read it. They are the reason I write. They pushed me to publish, as they felt my stories would give others who've experienced tragedies hope. So now, even though I still write for me, I mainly write for my readers who continually encourage me that my words touched their soul.

Most of my novels share some of my favorite hobbies, mostly, anything to do with the great outdoors. I rarely spend my days off at a movie theatre or the mall. In fact, I hate shopping, and my hubby would prefer to do anything other than take me to a movie that I'd already read the book. :) Also, we both would rather read a book on the beach--or a coffee shop if it's raining--and if the weather is really nice, we love to go kayaking and hiking.
