Praise for Queen of Shadows
"Sylvan's powerful debut is packed with startling action, sensual romance, and delightfully nerdy vampires...Sylvan's compelling take on vampirism, her endearing characters, and a complex, unabashedly feminist plot will have readers hungry for a sequel."
-_Publishers Weekly_ (starred review)
"_Queen of Shadows_ pulled me in...Dianne Sylvan's rich, dark, sexy re- imagined Austin is filled with people I want to visit again and again...Sylvan's got voice, doesn't miss a beat, and rocks it all the way to the last note. Sit down. Shut up. And enjoy the show. It's intense, dark, sexy, with just the right touch of humor. Looking for a new addiction? Go no further."
-Devon Monk, author of Magic on the Hunt
"Grabbed me on the first page and didn't let go. Miranda, the heroine, is vulnerable and gutsy, with magical abilities even she doesn't suspect. Vampire David Solomon is as powerful and heroic as he is deliciously seductive. Dianne Sylvan has created an original take on vampires that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'll be looking for her next book with great anticipation. She's a skilled and talented storyteller who definitively knows how to deliver one hell of a book!"
-Angela Knight, New York Times bestselling author of Master of Smoke
"Dianne Sylvan is an incredibly talented writer. She draws the reader not only into the story but into the very marrow of someone who is starting to question their grip on reality. If you aren't familiar with the Austin area, you will be, once you turn that last page..._Queen of Shadows_ concludes with a great flourish, leaving the reader euphoric."
-_Sacramento Book Review_
"It's not hard for me to pinpoint why Queen of Shadows works so well for me. There's three reasons actually. One, Miranda doesn't just suddenly overcome her fears. Two, David is honest about who he is, what he has done and doesn't expect anything more from Miranda than a safe recovery. And three, the soul mate/destined for one and other principle works here in a believable way."
-_Night Owl Reviews_
"Well written...The relationship between the empath and the vampire make for a strong Shadow World thriller that will enthrall the audience with a sense of awe as supernatural Austin comes across realistic though the filters of the flawed lead protagonists."
-_Alternative Worlds_
"My favorite book of 2010 so far...Moving, well-written, suspenseful, and sensual, this is a novel you won't want to miss."
-_Fantasy Literature Reviews_ "Miranda's character is a treat as she moves from victim to a self- possessed, capable heroine...The supporting characters are equally well developed providing a sense of weight and history to this thoroughly entertaining take on paranormal romance."
-_Monsters and Critics_
"Plucked at my heart strings in a smooth rhythm of fear, mistrust, and love...Watching the romance between Miranda and David develop was a treat. Watching Miranda become a true warrior woman was the icing on the cake."
-_Bitten By Books_
"_Queen of Shadows_ will make the reader feel. Feel the emotions of the characters and their own emotions, the choices the characters make. A Perfect 10. Highly recommended."
