INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Onyx Unleashed - Book Cover

When good and evil collide, who will be left standing?

Eden Cross is lonely. If she didn’t have her beloved cat, Onyx, she’d have no one at all. Eden longs for companionship, but, being a prisoner, all she gets is foul-mouthed demons and hatred from the one man she wants respect from the most.

Collier Brigham is son of the King of Demons. Bitter with hatred, like his father, he’s expected to be a force to be reckoned with. He never believed love would rear its ugly head in his favor. Especially not when the woman is the daughter of the man who is to blame for the deaths of his mother and brother.

She is a beautiful force of nature and he is misery personified. When secrets are revealed, can they see past the unthinkable and work together to right their wrongs?

EXCERPT

R rated **
Collier exits the shower, grabs a towel off the small rack and smiles, assuming it’s Eden’s as well. Just as he’s about to dry himself off, he hears a noise behind him. He turns around to find Eden licking her lips at his body. She’s eye fucking him and it drives him insane. “Eden, like what you see?” He grabs his girth in front of her, enjoying her eyes as he tantalizes her. But this is not the time for this. He’s vowed to make himself a new man—to be the one she wants—the one to make her laugh and be carefree, like she is with Drew. One thought of Drew and he turns his back on her and dries off. “Please give me a minute to myself. Leave the bathroom, now.” He hates having seen the confusion all over Eden’s face. 
Anger is definitely there too. “You know what, Collier? I’m tired of the bullshit and all you stupid, mercurial men. I’m so freaking tired of it. I stuck up for your sorry ass, but forget it. I’m done.” She slams the door, leaving him alone and confused. Why did she have to stick up for him? What the hell just happened here? He dries off the rest of his body with the purple towel, even though he has mostly air-dried. He runs his fingers through his hair, trying to restrain the crazy head of hair of his. He huffs and growls. He feels his skin start to crack… he’s angry. He was rude to Eden after thinking of Drew. He knows he needs to talk with her. He wraps his towel around his waist, since he left his clothes in the other room. He hopes Eden is waiting for him. Slowly opening the door, Collier finds Eden reading on the bed. He knows she’s seen him but also knows he deserves her stubborn silent treatment. He notices that she’s brought food back, but, well, it’s not quite what he expected. On a white plate with red grapes and banana slices she’s formed the words: Eat Shit Asshole. He laughs and grumbles. He takes a bite of his food and in the corner of his eye he notices Eden watching him. “If you’d like a piece of this, you’re more than welcome to some, sweetheart.” He enjoys watching her squirm on the bed, without making a peep. He also enjoys watching her huff before turning back to her book, which he knows she’s definitely not reading. 
Prologue
As the sun shines through the curtains, it illuminates and lands perfectly on Eden's face—the breathtaking beauty lying on the bed next to me. I fear one day she will realize who I am. I want to only be known as her beloved Onyx. She looks at me with such warmth and love. She cares for me and I've come to care for her greatly. 
Licking my fur, patting it down, I wish I could be someone else. Why couldn't I have fallen in love with someone else? With her I can love. Why does she have to be so damn beautiful? Why on all that is holy does she have to be the one who takes my breath away and make my dark heart beat again? 
All of these thoughts make a growl erupt from my mouth, loud enough to wake the beauty next to me. I meow, trying to soften the loud noise I just created. She smiles as she reaches for me and looks into my eyes, and it’s like she's actually looking into my soul for the first time in all these years.
MY REVIEW:

ONYX UNLEASHED IS A PARANORMAL ROMANCE UNLIKE ANY PARANORMAL ROMANCES YOU HAVE READ BEFORE.  WE ARE INTRODUCED TO EDEN WHO IS A PRISONER OF COLLIER BRIGHAM, SON OF THE KING OF THE DEMONS.  COLLIER IS SO FULL OF HATRED JUST LIKE HIS FATHER BUT HE IS ALSO DIFFERENT.  EDEN WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO HAVE HIS RESPECT AND IS ATTRACTED TO HIM.  COLLIER'S FATHER BLAMES EDEN'S FATHER FOR THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE AND SON.  DESPITE COLLIER'S HATRED OF EDEN'S FATHER, HE DEFIES AND PROTECTS EDEN FROM HIS OWN FATHER.  





 
COLLIER FINDS HIMSELF ATTRACTIVE  TO EDEN AND GOES TO GREAT LENGTHS TO KEEP EDEN AWAY FROM HIS FATHER.  HE IS VERY PROTECTIVE AND SEES THAT SHE ISN'T HARMED.  AS TIMES PASSES, YOU SEE COLLIER START TO CHANGE.  HE HATES TO SEE EDEN SO MISERABLE AND DOES LITTLE THINGS FOR EDEN TO MAKE HER HAPPY.
EDEN IS TAKEN AND COLLIER REALIZES THAT HE MUST FIND HER BECAUSE HE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT HER.  ONCE COLLIER FINDS EDEN, SECRETS ARE REVEALED THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.  WILL THE SECRETS DESTROY THEIR LOVE AND WILL THEY DEFEAT COLLIER'S FATHER?
 
I REALLY LOVED ONYX UNLEASHED.  I LOVE THE PARANORMAL ELEMENT TO THE STORY.  I LOVE HOW IT IS GOOD VERSUS EVIL.  TANYA DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THE STORYLINE AND THERE ARE ALOT OF SURPRISES IN THE STORY.  THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT PARANORMAL CHARACTERS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK.  THERE ARE SOME CHARACTERS YOU WILL LOVE AND SOME THAT YOU WILL TRULY HATE LIKE COLLIER'S FATHER.    


 



I LOVED EDEN AND COLLIER.  THERE DEFINITELY WAS CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM AND THEIR LOVE WAS VERY REAL.  ALTHOUGH AT FIRST, I DISLIKED COLLIER BUT ONCE HE WAS AWAY FROM HIS FATHER AND THE HOLD HE HAD ON HIM, HE WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MAN.  HE WAS SO SWEET AND SO VERY ROMANTIC.  


 


IF YOU LOVE PARANORMAL ROMANCES OR EVEN PARANORMAL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ ONYX UNLEASHED.  IT WAS A VERY ENJOYABLE AND ENTERTAINING STORY.  YOU WILL LOVE TANYA'S WRITING.  SHE HAS AWAY OF BRINGING HER CHARACTERS TO LIFE AND YOU CAN FEEL ALL OF THEIR EMOTIONS.  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE OF HER BOOKS.  SHE HAS BECOME ANOTHER FAVORITE AUTHOR OF MINE.  5 STARS
