Welcome to my stop for the Shadow of the Witte Wieven tour. It features my review of the novel, the book trailer, and Debbie Peterson's bio.
Shadow of the Witte Wieven by Debbie Peterson
Genre: Adult Paranormal Romance
Expected publication date: April 21, 2012
Description (taken from the Blog Tour):
Despite a contract on her head, lone Drug Enforcement Agent, Aliyana Montijo must ferret out a mole and stop the assassination of top DEA officials, as so ordered by the Colombian drug lord she seeks to take down. The task is a daunting one, for there is no one she can trust. No one that is, until she encounters a most unlikely ally.
Former seventeenth century captain of the Dutch West Indies Company, Wolfaert Dircksen Van Ness, now from a parallel dimension, encounters the beautiful agent during an unearthly storm in the Bermuda triangle. Drawn to the Spanish beauty he rescues, he pledges his assistance, despite her reluctance to accept either his help or his heart.
Can Wolf bridge both space and time to claim the woman he loves?
This is such a different paranormal romance novel than what you typically see. No vampires and werewolves here. Just ghosts. And the ghosts here have their own peculiarities. But let me tell you first that this book contains romance. Not just romance, but the perfect, story-book romance. The happy ending kind that you see in fairy tales.
What did I love about this book? There's a lot of dialogue. And I absolutely loved it (I love dialogue in general). A lot of the story unfolds as the characters talk and interact with each other (it makes the story more believable). And the romance... It's swoon-worthy.
What I thought was all right (or slightly lacking): the action. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of action. But I felt like the action went a little too perfectly like I was watching it through foggy glasses.
Who would I recommend this book to? Anyone who likes romance novels and is looking for a different paranormal read.
