Advanced Review: Curse of the Purple Delhi Sapphire "Well written and exciting throughout, this novel will leave you longing for more." Averting future consequences is hard to do. I read an advance reader's copy of this remarkable book and, although I hadn't read the forerunner, I found the plot easy to follow. Well written and exciting throughout, this novel will leave you longing for more. The characters are drawn together over many lifetimes and our heroine jumps back and forth in time, aware of the connection, loving some and fearing others, but always attracting the attention of her nemesis. She tries desperately to work out how to avert future consequences concerning a jewel with remarkable powers. Sometimes, she's unable to pick friend from foe. The tension sent my pulse racing.

Another Amazing Review. Thank you A.B. Funkhauser! I couldn't have asked for higher praise and from someone I admire so much. "The second instalment in Rachael Stapleton’s sprawling Temple of Indra Series, The Curse of the Purple Delhi Sapphire finds time-traveling erstwhile librarian Sophia Marcil celebrating her engagement to hunky Cullen O’Kelley. Trouble is, her engagement ring contains a centre stone that’s all too familiar—a purple sapphire from a suite of cursed jewels. Once on her finger, the ring takes her from Ireland to Toronto to England and back again. At various times occupying the body of a child, a malevolent teen and a heinous villain, who continues to track her and the jewel from the first book, Sophia is forced to think and act on her feet, with a little romance in between. Colorful and layered, Curse co opts an astonishing cast with shifting time frames and multiple points of view. The villain, nasty as ever, makes a dramatic entrance, spilling blood and d...

When asked if she had any quirks she admitted that while she doesn't write in the shower, she does find herself working on scenes in there. I had to agree...this happens to me all the time.  Desiree Edwards has a problem. She’s been attacked, kidnapped and forced to get along with a vampire of all things. It’s something right out of the story books she reads, or her worst nightmare. But, sometimes he’s not the monster he appears to be. He seems so humanlike that she can’t help it when her emotions betray her, when her body betrays her. To make matters worse, she finds out more about herself than she ever wanted to know. She was unlike any other… Alec has a problem. The animal in him wants Desiree. But, so does the man. The more he learns about her, the harder it is to deny what he wants. But, he’s a freak, and she’s just a human. The two species don’t mix that way. Then an old enemy surfaces and Alec is forced to make a choice. His life or hers. Can Alec’s soul be saved by...
