New Indie Book Release:
Allegiance (The Vampire Alliance) - Angela Louise McGurk
Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance (269 pages - February 2014)
Allegiance is set in the vampire underworld which exists alongside our human world. There is also a paranormal romance plot within the book as well as the fight for freedom, truth and a way to survive the brutality and oppression caused by the Senate, the vampire government.
The book is gritty, in some places it's very dark, and there's a definite lack of 'sparkle'. There are aspects of it which are controversial but Allegiance also steps out of the box to explore what it is to really be part of the vampire world, rather than the coveted mortal girlfriend of an immortal as is often the case in vampire books.

The world seems to be conspiring against Eve and the Alliance, and even among Johan’s band of rebels not everyone is happy to have Eve as part of the group. With Tul missing and friends few on the ground, Eve begins to slip back into the pit of despair which had once consumed her and that may just lead her to behave more recklessly than ever before. Mistakes have consequences however, and for Eve the consequences of her actions may just decide the course of the future.
Is there a way to save Tul? Does anything of Rob remain in the Senate controlled puppet his body’s become? More importantly, why are the Senate determined to take control of Eve and just how far will they go to gain possession of her?
