The Onyx Talisman by Brenda Pandos with an Awesome Giveaway!
Her words sent chills up my spine as she vanished.
Unrest stirs deep in Scotts Valley. Filled with uncertainty, Julia anxiously awaits Nicholas’ return. Phil, hurt and unsure of his place as a sober vampire, holds the pieces of Julia’s fragile psyche together, secretly hoping Nicholas stays away forever. Scarlett bides her time, plotting for the perfect moment to prove herself and earn redemption. But somewhere in L.A., Alora conspires to reclaim her talisman and strip Julia of everything she holds dear.
Little do they know, a war is coming and more than one vampire would like to see the Prince of Vampires overthrown. As more and more vampires show up from nowhere, addicted to her scent, Julia must pick her allies carefully before it’s too late. Can Julia bargain with fate? When the time comes, will she even have a choice? Find out how it all ends in this explosive grand finale of The Talisman Trilogy.
Goodreads Summary
Finally, the finale of a wonderful series! Julia has a destiny to fulfill and several secrets to uncover. Julia's friends and family may not be quite what they seem and she will need to track down the person she suspects is harming vampires. The reader will be treated to the appearance of more and more vampires as the ending draws near. With the arrival of these vampires, a lot of trouble begins stirring in their small town. Julia will have several difficult decisions to make.
Julia's character is unusual. She is both easy to connect to, but hard to "read." She will certainly manage to surprise the reader. Typically, Julia displays integrity, bravery, and intelligence; however, there will be some portions in the novel where the reader will want to shake her. Of course, this is the mark of a good author; when the reader cares that much about a character's actions, the author has succeeded. The other characters will rub the reader in different ways. Most of the time, the reader will be rooting for Julia and Nicholas. Sometimes, it may be hard to keep the relationships separate, but the author does a good job of eliminating confusion between the couples.
The ending was definitely cute and many readers won't want it any other way though it was a little on the cheesy side. However, Brenda Pandos wraps up the ending nicely and doesn't leave any loose ends for the reader to worry about. This book is highly recommended to young adult/adult readers.

About Me
- Krystal Larson
- Chicago, Illinois, United States
- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
