Readers are like bras…

“I hated this book because it is all about sex, sex, sex. The story gets lost in the descriptive sex pages which are numerous.”— 1 star Amazon review of SCENT OF DARKNESS Darkness Chosen paranormal series

🤣

review: '...all about sex, sex, sex....'

Honestly, this is one of my top ten favorite book reviews. No, top five. (The one about A DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA that mentions the fart is a new personal favorite.) This should tell you a lot about the maturity of my humor, but also, any review that mentions sex four times in two sentences sells books. It’s a one-click review, and it couldn’t happen to a better book because SCENT OF DARKNESS is what I like to call my gateway book. I suspect the Darkness Chosen series has started more readers on all books Christina Dodd than any other! (I see you waving your hand!)

review: '...all about sex, sex,sex....'

Other reader favorite series:
Virtue Falls (suspense)
The Governess Brides (historical romance)
Bella Terra Deception (romantic suspense)
Daughter of Montague (historical fiction) is coming up fast!

Revenge, sex, murder...another typical day in Virtue Falls

Your Annual Free Read of WILDER FAMILY HALLOWEEN!

It’s that time of year. In NW Washington, the leaves are turning lovely colors and falling, and some crazy people when they go for a walk stomp on the dried leaves to hear them crunch.

Oh, like you’ve never done that.

Yes, it’s the month of Halloween, and it’s time to remind my Darkness Chosen fans that WILDER FAMILY HALLOWEEN, the short Darkness Chosen epilogue, is free to read on my website. The whole story is there. Click the excerpt button to read WILDER FAMILY HALLOWEEEN. That’s all you have to do.

Free Excerpt

If you’re a collector  (you know who you are), and want your own copy, it’s 99 cents. It is short, so please first read it on the website. A bad review on a short story because it’s a short story makes me put on the ugly face. 🤨

If you’ve read the Darkness Chosen series, here’s all kinds of extra information that might interest you:
The Books
How I got the idea
The Legend
The Cast
A silly interview I wrote for a magazine.
Remember, I did warn you it was silly.

If you haven’t read Darkness Chosen, should you read WILDER FAMILY HALLOWEEN? It’s full of spoilers and if you don’t know the characters, you’ll be wildly unimpressed.

The Darkness Chosen and the Chosen Ones series are also out in eBook, some limited paperback, and in audiobook, and on my website, you can listen to a free chapter for each of the full-length books. Click on the book, scroll down, and listen!

“As a kid, Halloween was amazing. You dress like a superhero, you bang on your neighbor’s door and they give you candy. I do that today and my neighbor wants me arrested.” — Jim Gaffigan
