Hi Melanie. Amazing series, I love it. I was wondering why don't we ever see things from Ben's point of view? It'll be interesting if we do and it will make things fair as we get to see things from other characters' point of view
Hi Alex!
Thanks for writing - I'm glad you're enjoying the series so far!
Concerning writing from different perspectives, in the first trilogy, there was a certain amount of information I did not wish readers to have 'first hand' yet, so we do not get to hear from Ben, Alyson and Sindy's points of view. However, in the second trilogy the storyline becomes a bit more complex, and the perspectives of the other characters are needed to let us in on more of the story. In Born to Blood (ALMOST HUMAN - the Second Trilogy - Volume 2), the story dictated that we get to see from the point of view of Cain, Felicity, Allie, Mattie & Sindy. then in volume 3 of the 2nd trilogy, Descendant of Darkness we get to hear from Ben, as well as Cain, Felicity, Allie & Sindy. I hope you'll continue with the series - I'm sure you'll like hearing from the other characters. I loved being able to write from their perspectives!
Thanks for reading!
I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner! (I'm supposed to get an email when there is a new post, but it seems randomly glitchy and I haven't visited this page - my sincere apologies!)
I really hope that you have both enjoyed Descendant of Darkness. The story of these characters is something I have held within me for so long - the main story arc for all 4 trilogies/12 books having been planned years ago. Their journey is long and winding, but a very heartfelt and personal one for me - I love all of the characters dearly. Thank you so much for allowing me to share their journey with you! I hope that you all enjoy the twists and turns, and have fun getting lost in the story as much as I do!
Thank you for writing!
Thanks again,
Terri
Thanks for writing! Glad to hear that you are so invested in the series! Hopefully it won't be too much longer until the next book is finished. I have only one more very important scene to write, which I am working on now. Then I just have to write some button-up ending stuff and it will be ready for the beta read-through and final editing. I am trying to be sure I give everyone the story at its best. I hope you'll find it was worth the wait!
Thanks for reading!
Cindy G - Thank you so much for your understanding. I am really disheartened that I couldn't finish the book sooner, but I was making myself sick over trying to rush it, and I felt like I wasn't doing it justice. It was a hard choice to make, but I think it's for the best that I give myself the time to do it right.
Thank you and everyone for your patience :-)

From: FATAL INFATUATION
Love the Vampires!
I really enjoyed Fatal Infatuation and can't wait to continue with the next volume. I found the characters to have some flesh to them and liked the interaction between them. The dialogue is smart and at times I feel like I can hear the characters talking. I have to admit that Cain is my favorite. I love that he is a better vampire than he was a man, and can't wait to delve deeper into his character. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good vampire story.

From: LOST REFLECTIONS
I Love This Series!!!
Don't be expecting a Twilight clone. These characters are more grown-up and the vampires can truly be scary. This series is getting even better as it goes along. Lost Reflections continues the love story between Felicity and Cain and their relationships with Felicity's human friends (I love Allie and Ben!). Even better - we get Cain's back story! This reads almost like a book within a book, and Cain's story is just so fascinating. I was spellbound!
This book is well-written, and the characters are wonderful. I really find myself missing them when I move on to another book. I highly recommend it.

From: EVOLVING ECSTASY
A Fabulous Ending to an Amazing Trilogy!
As Felicity and Cain's relationship continues to grow they face difficult choices that will change their lives forever. Despite her love for Cain, can Felicity give up her future human life of marriage, children, and a career...say goodbye to her family to live alongside Cain in an undead existence for eternity? She loves him with everything she is, but is it enough? Cain is having his own internal moral battle regarding changing Felicity over. He wants nothing more than her by his side forever, but must debate the implications of taking her human life.
Of course there is more excitement with the rest of the gang: Ben, Sindy, Allie, and the return of Mattie as we get ready for the first book of the second trilogy Born to Blood. Evolving Ecstasy is an excellent read with an unbelievable ending that left me in tears!

The First Trilogy ~ 3-in-1 Edition
What an Amazing Trilogy!
I am a huge paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi book fan and one of my favorite things is to immerse myself in a book, truly enjoy the story and anxiously anticipate what happens next. When I can't put a book down until the wee hours of the morning or can't wait to read it again, then I know I've found an amazingly good book. This series allows you to delve into each character's life and get to know them intimately throughout each book. The storyline always peaked my interest and not once made me ask what just happened or why am I reading this book. I can't wait to read the second trilogy! I am anxiously awaiting the new turn of events for Felicity, Ben, Allie, and Cain.

Fantastic...
These characters are fascinating, their interaction flows easily. Melanie did a great job describing their experiences and feelings. Reading about their conflicts, their lost love, their tragedy and their quest for happiness made me feel pity, love and sadness, I call it the Trifecta effect. When an author can awake those feelings in a reader then the job has been done, the desired effect has been accomplished. Melanie's writing just flows, her stories are easy to read, and her style is fantastic. I look forward to reading Descendant of Darkness, the 2nd book of the 2nd Trilogy.

This series, Almost Human, is truly a journey for your heart and your soul. The characters are so real, you feel like you know each one personally. Melanie Nowak is a amazing author. I cannot wait to continue the journey with All of them, and watch how their lives continue to evolve. Thank You Melanie for bringing us with them. Cannot wait for the next book.
