I’m very excited to announce that my new dark fantasy, DAUGHTER OF THE BLOOD, has been hailed as a December Top Pick (4 1/2 stars out of 4) by Romantic Times.
Romantic Times says:
“Full of magic and supernatural beings, Izzy DeMarco’s life is far from what it used to be when she worked in the evidence department of the New York City Police Department. Now she’s in New Orleans to become Guardian of a supernatural family and deal with various beings out to kill her. Izzy gets help from Jean-Marc Devereaux, soon-to-be guardian of his own family. Daughter of the Blood (4 1/2) by Nancy Holder is a wild tale about magic families with a heritage dating back to Joan of Arc. Holder wonderfully maintains the tension from the first story in the series, and the book ends with a shocker.”
–Alexandra Kay
DAUGHTER OF THE BLOOD has been nominated for “Best Bombshell” by Romantic Times Magazine!

I really enjoyed Daughter of the Blood. It’s fast pace keeps the reader enthralled as Isabella DeMarco’s story and destiny continues to unfold. By end of the book I had my hand clapped over my mouth in awe. I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment in this series!

Thank you so much! I’m very grateful for your support and I LOVE hearing that you enjoyed the book. I love writing about Izzy. I can’t wait to dive into Book 3!

I’m hoping book 3 is still coming for this series….any news on the book or when we can expect it? I loved both Daughter of the Blood and Daughter of the Flames. Thanks so much for writing these intriguing tales.

I haven’t gotten word about where Book 3 is landing, although I have been assured that it WILL land! As soon as I have more information, I will be sure to post it.
Thank you, Deb, for the kind words. I am really looking forward to continuing Izzy’s saga.
Meanwhile, I am working on ATHENA FORCE: DISCLOSURE, in the continuity that debuted in my beloved Bombshell line. I hope everyone will like it!

I am in the process of reading “Daughter of the Flames” (in addition to the myriad of other books I usually have going at the same time!) - and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this book. “Daughter of the Blood” is at the top of my ever-growing TBR Pile. Will there be any more adventures of The Gifted in the future? (Pretty Please?)
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I am quite hopeful that I’ll be continuing the series. I love Isabelle’s world(s), too. I can honestly say I had as much fun working on these books as I did when I wrote Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels.
Please stay tuned!

Nancy, I just love your books! And I’m so very upset that they discontinued to Bombshell books! I have every single one of them, and I could just cry over the loss. Has there been any word on where the newer books are going to go, such as your Daughter of the Shadows and even your Athena books?
Please keep up the wonderful work, and keep us posted, as I know there are a lot of us out there waiting with bated breath to learn where we can find our favorite story lines.

I’ve been searching for information about your 3rd book and am thrilled to have found your site. I love your books and can’t put them down until I’m finished reading. They’re so addictive, you’ve got to share them with everyone. I’ve got my mother and sister waiting on pins and needles for the 3rd as well.
I will definitely be checking back daily for information. I hate waiting but your books are worth the wait.

I enjoyed both Daughter of the Flames and Daughter of the Blood, and I am so waiting for the 3rd book of The Gifted series.
Oh when? Oh when?
