Kristin Miller Virtual Tour Last Vamp Standing and giveaway

My Special Brand of Dark

Last Vamp Standing (Vampires of Crimson Bay #3) has been called “the darkest and grittiest of the series” by early reviewers. Although the heroine is a vampire, and some scenes take place in a bleak urban setting, I didn’t really think the book was that dark…at first.

Sure, the book features a tortured hero who quite literally feeds off of sex and violence. There’s a villain hell bent on wiping out vampires in Crimson Bay. There are vampire elders who wield all kinds of wicked-cool powers and a kick ass battle at the end where blood spills onto the page. I winced while writing it. No joke.

Okay, okay, so it’s a bit darker than the others. Why’d I choose to write the book darker over lighter?

I didn’t choose to write it that way. Not really. I wrote what I knew. What was in my heart.

My preferences in everything have been dark since I was young. I read Dean Koontz and John Saul when friends were reading Anne of Green Gables. I watched gory action movies over Disney from too young of an age. (Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, anyone?) I even prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate…especially if that chocolate is Ghirardelli…with a chilled mint center. Ahem.

Guess you could say I love “dark and gritty” all around. If you’re anything like me, Last Vamp Standing just might be right up your shadowed, adrenaline-lovin’ alley.

Back Cover Blurb:

Tortured by demonic voices, Dante’s soul is as black as they come. But when he meets Ariana—an innocent vampire fighting demons of her own—he second-guesses everything he’s ever known about sacrifice, passion, and soul-scorching love.

Before Dante wages war against Crimson Bay’s greatest threat, he must make a choice: love Ariana the way she deserves, risking her life in the process—or fight to protect her, unleashing the monster he’s determined to bury.

Author Bio:

Kristin Miller has had a passion for language and literature her whole life. Born and raised in Small Town USA, she often made up stories about faraway places and edge-of-your-seat adventures.

After graduating from Humboldt State University with a degree in psychology, Kristin realized there is no scarier place than the warped human psyche. Wanting to combine her love of writing with her desire to paint twisted villains, Kristin wound up in the unlikeliest of places—the classroom. She taught high school and middle school English before giving in to the desire to create her own world, where villains can be sympathetic and heroes can be devilishly good.

She is represented by Nalini Akolekar of Spencerhill Associates Ltd. and writes dark paranormal

romances and toe curling romantic suspense.
