Crimson Forest

From best-selling author “Tarisa Marie” comes Bryxx, the first book in her new Crimson Forest series.

A small town in Montana hides a tragic supernatural secret. Over the span of centuries, many lives have been lost, many people have gone missing, and many others have lost their minds in the blink of an eye, all without explanation.

When May returns to the farm she lived on until age 15, she quickly learns that the unfortunate events of her family’s past are not as coincidental as she always thought, her hometown is plagued with deadly immortal beings, and now she too is about to fall victim of the dangerous supernatural world, just as her ancestors. Her brother, who’s been missing since childhood, turns out to secretly be living just down the road from the family farmhouse, her blood will literally be the death of her, and the man she wants to trust most, the man she’s quickly falling in love with, is also one of the beings she should fear the most.

Devon Michaels holds me captive in a one-room house in what seems to be the middle of nowhere. I have no idea how long I’ve been here. I’ve been unconscious for most of it. He says it’s been months. Months. That means Kade thinks I’ve been dead for months. 

What does Devon want from me? Why did he save my life only to keep me cooped up here? Will I ever escape? Will I ever see Kade again?

When May sees the true Kade for the first time since he killed her that fateful day, she’s not sure what to think. She’d been getting ready to head home to Seattle and move forward with her life, but now she’s torn. How does she even truly feel about Kade, her supposed soulmate? How does he feel about her now that he’s no longer a vampire? With Kade’s kidnapper after them, Albert, and an entirely new enemy to top it all off, how will May manage to return to normalcy?

On the outside, Henry appears controlled, put together, but what he doesn't show is how much he truly struggles internally. After being found out by the Bryxx community, Henry has no choice but to leave the life he's lead for millennia and dip his toes into something entirely new to him. 

The woman Henry has been pining over his entire life, is the one being in the world who makes his control waver. Her blood is more appealing to him than any other's, and because of that, they can never be together, but he can't seem to stay away from her any longer, especially when she shows up at his door begging for answers.

Then, Henry finds himself stuck training a new vamp as a favor to his friend Kade Kinsmen, but he's in over his head. This vampire has no regard for life, no remorse for his actions. He's emotionless except when it comes to one person, his human girlfriend who has no idea he's no longer human.

In the wake of the deadly demonic disease that has nearly wiped out the Bryxx in a matter of days, including his own mother, Devon comes up with a plan to stop the slaughter, but it means giving up his livelihood and freedom in doing so. He will have to leave his life behind and begin a new one in hiding, away from other immortals. 

Crysta, a strange immortal woman Devon met at random turns out to be the best thing that's happened to him in ages. She doesn't care what he is or what he's done, she just wants a companion and like him, she has nowhere to go.

Being shacked up with a beautiful woman isn't easy for Devon. Anyone who knows the guy, knows he's a major ladies man, but for some reason, he can't bring himself to make a move on Crysta. She brings out the best in him and he can't risk harming her.

Just when Devon thinks things can't get any worse, he learns his plan, the one that risked everything, hasn't exactly been a success. There's a new problem on the rise. The demons are killing off the remaining Bryxx and it's only a matter of time before they move on to the humans. He can't let that happen, even if it means risking his own life and his new found love in the process.

Malakai has just found out that not only is he a Mikaelson and his grandfather is the psychotic half breed who took over his life for over a month, but that the world around him is crumbling quicker than he can keep up. 

One minute, he was enjoying popcorn and a movie with his soon to be husband in the safety of their Seattle home, and the next minute, he's sprawled out unconscious and on the verge of death in an underground demon civilization. The only person who can save him is his grandfather, but is surviving and being able to marry the love of his life worth it when the price of life is giving up all he's ever believed in? Can Daniel even love what he's become?
