The hapless victim of a brutal mugging, Alyssa lies bleeding to death,
convinced that her life is coming to an end – that is, until she’s rescued by the
most unlikely of heroes: Lysander, an otherwise indifferent vampire who promptly
sinks his teeth into her neck and bestows upon her the gift of immortality. Little
does Alyssa know, though, the gift eventually becomes a curse, for it ultimately
means the loss of friends, family, and life as she’s come to know it. Stripped of her
humanity, Alyssa soon joins Lysander as a host of powerful enemies
converge against them, each bent on their destruction, and only by embracing her
newfound powers - and her blossoming new union with Lysander - does she have
the slightest chance of survival.

Gripping and fast-paced, Immortalis Carpe Noctem is a riveting read. In
it, author Katie Salidas presents an action-packed tale of a mythical dark
underworld that stands out from the garden variety vampire lore currently
dominating the rank and file of pop culture. Through the tortuous exploits of her
protagonist, Salidas takes the reader on a vicarious journey deep into the heart of
a hidden society rife with intriguing characters and intricate plotlines, all of which
merge into a seamless mix of mystery, drama, and suspense. Furthermore, with a
genuine nod to the supernatural, Immortalis maintains an edge of authenticity
that tends to escape other vampire tales crafted solely for superficial shock value.
The first installment in what promises to be a superb new series,

Immortalis Carpe Noctem is the promising debut from a burgeoning literary
talent on the rise. A strongly recommended read.
