Book Description
About THE HANDMAIDEN OF DEATH: Sixteen-year-old Amber Marsden must fight for survival after a botched drug deal leaves her orphaned on the frozen streets of Detroit. With nowhere to turn, Amber takes shelter among the ruins only to discover that she's not alone in the dark... In praise of THE HANDMAIDEN OF DEATH: "Compellingly-written, character-driven story that follows the life of a wayward teen from the wrong side of the tracks who finds herself the guest of a wealthy man who turns out to be someone she never expected. Dialogue is incredibly naturalistic and flows to create scenes rather than relying heavily on narrative description to set the stage. Unique and fresh perspective on the vampire genre and full of deep, symbolic prose reminiscent of Anne Rice's works. I highly recommend this up-and-coming author and look forward to the next installment in the series." -- Bethann Rodgers, The Bookish Maven, A Literary Blog About The Dark Angel Trilogy: The Dark Angel Trilogy is a contemporary coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a city in decline, and follows the life of Amber Marsden, a wayward teen from a broken home who finds herself orphaned on the frozen streets of present-day Detroit. With nowhere left to turn, she takes shelter amid the ruins, only to discover she is not alone in the dark. Full of deep, symbolic prose, The Dark Angel Trilogy is a fast-paced, character-driven series that delves into the human psyche and is geared toward readers seeking a vampire tale with less ‘sparkle’ and a lot more bite. About the Author: Sarah Stafford writes dark contemporary, genre-bending tales that deviate from the typical haunted house trope of gothic fiction. Expect ample suspense, thrills, and reminders that oftentimes monsters abide within us all. No glittery vampires allowed! Sarah lives in Michigan with her husband and three cats, earned her BA in History from Oakland University, and has traveled extensively throughout much of Europe, Asia, and the USA. She credits her abiding obsession with all things dark and macabre from having spent her childhood summers exploring dark woods, ruined castles, and landscapes shrouded in mystery.

Book Description
She was killed by the angel-a beautiful Jamaican graduate student thrust from a third floor window of the St. Martins College English Department to strike the strange bronze seraphim below with lethal force. And soon again, the angel of death casts its shadow over the halls of St. Martins-a professor stabbed at her desk, a graduate assistant cut down in the doorway of the department's computer lab, and young professor Eurydice Smith marked as the next victim. Whose fury enacts the angel's wrath? Suspects multiply: a husband enraged by a willful wife, a professor unfaithful to his dying wife, a poet hungry for praise and competitive students keen with envy. Accountant Daniel Pryor, trapped in life-threatening mourning for his dead wife, and Lt Evan Titus, brilliant black state trooper, alone in the white world of Maryland's Eastern Shore, must join forces to save Eurydice who seems to entice the violence. They must convince her before it's too late to recognize how the demands of her stem-cell researcher husband-soon to be a Presidential appointee-and her own dark secrets may entwine to summon death's dark angel.
