"...So vampires fun, a pining for love, and some hot romantic tension make this book a great read. As has often been my complaint, there needed to be more. The ending rushed together a bit too fast compared with the pacing of the rest of the book. I definitely want to read more of this authors work. I actually really hope Kaylynn and Elijah pop up in a sequel. There was a side character in there who calls out for her own story."

***New***
"Vampires. Lately, they are all the rave. I’m a vampire lover, but even I was beginning to get a little tired. That was until I read Turning Ash by Crymsyn Hart.
Ms. Hart presents a dark vampire novel in a totally new light. The first thing that caught my attention was the realistic way in which she depicts the internet...As someone that has moved and still moves inside Goth circles and can’t spend more than a few days without connecting to the internet, I loved the way Ms. Hart depicted some of Ashling’s feelings, and her views on the Internet. Ms. Hart definitely knows how to engage a reader’s attention and keep it throughout. She gave me a thoroughly enjoyable read and the hope that there are still fresh vampire tales to tell. Way to go Ms. Hart!"

"...Complete with hunters more blood-thirsty than the vamps and a traumatic twist that's emotional enough to wrench tears from a rock, Turning Ash is a great vampire story. Told entirely through Ashling's experiences, you find yourself completely caught up in her doubts and fears. She's strong enough to take care of herself, but smart enough to know when she's facing more than she can handle alone. Unfortunately, Markus left me a bit cold. There was very little sexual intensity about him, while Devlin comes across as one hot stud. It should have been the other way around.
Nevertheless, if you like a good vampire story and don't mind a little less than expected romance and sex, pick this book up today. You won't regret it. There's little drag in the action and enough dangling threads at the end for at least two sequels. I'd like to see Devlin redeem himself and something good come Herod's way. There are a lot of unanswered questions about who Markus really is and whether or not Ash will willingly take that final step into bona fide vampirism."

"...Turning Ash is a fascinating tale that pulls the reader in from the first page. I found the story to be unexpected and a few surprises that I had not thought about pleasantly led the page turning for me. A unique vampire tale that will please paranormal fans. I can’t wait to read another of Crymsyn Hart’s titles."
Star Rating: 4.5 Stars
"...This book is an exciting adventure about a girl who finds herself in over her depth in a world she never knew to be real. One of the best part of the story is the ability to identify with Ashling, she’s scared and confused, but willing to forge ahead despite these things. But while she is strong enough to stand on her own two feet, she also knows that she cannot always be her own savor. This makes her a very likeable and relatable character..."

Lost Souls: Circus Diabolique 2
"...Crymsyn Hart writes a sexy short story filled with sex, passion, and really scary demons. As you read, you feel Selena’s fear, longing, and determination. She wants to mourn her husband, yet she wants to be with Donovan. The reader can relate to the mental struggle she’s dealing with.
I liked the forthright approach that Selena used when she met Donovan. She’s an independent person. The reader can and does root for her to succeed. You also want to see Donovan get his heart’s desires. I liked that his brother and sister in law got involved. That made the story tenser and drew the reader in more..."

Whipped Cream Review by Tiger LilyHow To Ruin Easter for a Werewolf
"...This is one of my first experiences with the combination writing style of Dahlia Rose and Crymsyn Hart and How to Ruin Easter for a Werewolf was a wonderful introduction to this duo. I found myself laughing and fanning so much that I hated to see the story end. Is there a dull moment in this book? No, not one! I found myself feeling sorry for Sebastian a few times, but then thought about it and realized he knew exactly what he was getting when he chose Demona. The cast of character’s range from sassy to sneaky and each adds something unique to the book. I felt like I was reading a very adult version of Alice in Wonderland. There are small doses of action and suspense laced throughout the tale, with enough sexual scenes to require a fan and a tall drink of water. If you’ve enjoyed previous books in what I’m calling “How to Ruin” series, then pick up a copy of How to Ruin Easter for a Werewolf, you won’t be disappointed.."

Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Scandalous Minx
"...This book is funny, quirky, and smart-ass. I quite enjoyed this sexy romp through New York. I also realized that this is part of a series and I definitely want to read the others. I absolutely loved the main characters, werewolves Sebastian and Demona, who love to eat people with as much reverence as eating a deer. The descriptions even made my mouth water. Does that make me a cannibal? Or it could have been I was extremely hungry, who knows, but that is so damn fine writing!.."

"...In Dreaming of You, Crymsyn Hart weaves a wonderful tale full of romance, eroticism, and suspense. Tabby dream-walks through a realm full of vampires, werewolves, demons, and danger, yet refuses to give in to the menacing threats and abandon her dream lover. She fights not only on the astral plane but in her own realm, using her mind as well as her heart, refusing to be distracted or defeated. Anyone who enjoys a good romantic story filled with dreams and nightmares will enjoy this story."

How to Ruin Christmas for a Vampire
"...The descriptions in the story were so detailed, I felt that I was right there. All their antics seemed so real I could not help but smile almost the entire story. There is a villain in the character of Dominique and a few moments that I held my breath wondering what would happen to Jarreth and Diana. The sex when it happens is explosive.
How To Ruin Christmas For A Vampire did anything but. Reading this story made my day brighter and my Christmas merrier."

A Conspiracy of Ravens: A Raven Saga Book 1
"...A fantastic read with grueling fights, a fearsome banshee queen, a dark goddess, a flock of raven warriors, three witches (does this sound very familiar?) and soul reincarnation. A Conspiracy of Ravens brings you into a world of fantasy and magic. This is a cleverly written story with an ending that will surprise you. Well, I know was surprised. I highly recommended this book to those who cannot live without magic and witches in their books."

Fur and Feathers: A Raven Saga Book 2
"...I found the Raven Warrior concept to be new and fresh. Something I had never read before. Not in this form. The characters of Darius, Alena, Vincent and Marija pulled me into the story and at one point I was not sure I was going to get my HEA. For me to doubt that, even for a second, means the story is very good. It means the Ms. Hart did more than her job, she succeeded in taking me out of the expectations I had and sent me reeling with ‘how can this be’.
As this is the second book in a series, I plan on buying the first and the third which I understand is coming soon. Buy the two, put Ms. Hart on your to buy list and keep up with what is an overwhelmingly interesting world."

Whispers in the Dark: A Raven Saga Book 3
"... Hart's story had a melancholy feeling to it that reminded me a little of Poe's raven. The mood of this novel beautifully conveyed a sense of the raven's character. I thought this fit in really well with the the whole paranormal romance theme. Too many paranormal books today try to be tongue-in-cheek about the whole thing, which can be funny if I'm in the right mood, but it takes the fear factor out of it completely. Hart has kept up the thriller edge in WHISPERS IN THE DARK, giving it a genuinely gothic feel that I love to find in paranormal novels, and which I think enhances the romantic parts as well.
And speaking of romance, here it is sweet and exciting and satisfying - and everything else you would want it to be in this romantic thriller. There is an authentic attraction built up between Seth and Jayd that makes you route for them as they struggle to overcome the many obstacles keeping them from each other. I don't want to put out any spoilers, so I'll just vaguely throw it out there that another thing I liked about WHISPERS IN THE DARK was that the main characters were not immune to evil."

"...The third book of the Raven Saga brings deeper emotions and passions. This is one of those stories that was able to caress my heart and radiate warmth within me.

Through the Mirror: Circus Diabolique
"...I give this book 4 tombstones. Ms. Hart’s description of the characters is well written and creates a vivid picture in the reader’s mind. She does an admirable job of drawing the reader into the story and writing a gripping tale. While there is some adult content in this book, it is well written and adds to the development of the characters relationship.I have to admit, after reading the first few pages, I was a little hesitant to continue the book. I normally stay away from novels that have a horror type element to them because I have an active imagination at night, but I felt myself drawn into the tale that Ms. Hart weaves and found myself turning each page just to find out what happened next. The dark circus that she creates in her novel is a creepy place that I know I would never want to visit. If you’re looking for something a little bit different from the vampire and werewolf novels out there, pick up Through the Mirror by Crymsyn Hart. You will not be disappointed."

"..All in all, this sassy, sexy story is high-spirited, funny and filled with a couple of titillating surprises. The authors tag-teamed the heck out of the plot and along with all the additives, I can honestly say if this were a cocktail I’d ask for another round. With a playful tone, edgy dialogue, neat plot and a spunky heroine and lovable hero this tale is in no danger of killing you with boredom."

4 Cherries - Review by Wisteria
"...Crymsyn Hart and Dahlia Rose collaborated together to create an absorbing peek at their idea of Grim Reapers. ..The characters were nicely developed throughout. Harmony and Andy were interesting, and called attention to them with definite chemistry sparking between them. My personal favorite was Clem with his secret maneuvering, and hidden agendas. HOW TO RUIN HALLOWEEN FOR THE GRIM REAPER is a great opportunity for those who love stories about death entity’s to delve into another world of death, power, and the burdens it places upon those who deliver its final blow."
4 Pixies - reviewed by Manda
"...Ms. Hart and Ms. Rose filled this story with the desire of life and love. Harmony needed to be shown what it was like to love and to be loved and Andy was just the right person to do it. It was a very touching story and within the plot, I was excited to see if Harmony would fall for the help from Andy or if she would just be sucked into the 'darkness of evil'. I've never read a book that involved Grim Reapers and this one was pretty interesting."

A nice start for this collection of stories! ..."

Thanks so much Sandi for the great review!
"This is the first story in the Midnight Encounters Anthology. I liked how Hart didn't dwell too much on what happened during the time Celeste and Tristan were apart. I kept wanting to read to find out what was happening between these two soul mates. It has heavy sex scenes as well as heavy sexual language, to warn those who might find that offensive.
...As a whole, Midnight Encounters was very well written. All of the stories have sex scenes, but none of which drag the reader away from the storyline or plot. Every reader is bound to find something they like in each story, and the authors each bring something different and original to the table, which helped to maintain my interest in each story, and also to keep me reading to find out what the next author had in store for me. It's a great Halloween read as well, seeing as how each story takes place on or around Halloween, and each story has a tie-in to the affect the Halloween season has on each of them, whether they're a vampire, witch, or shifter."--Denise Kivett,

Complicated and twisted, I found myself flipping back pages so I could keep up with the past lives of the characters as well as the present.

"In Crymsyn R Hart's Immortal Desires, our heroine Amara is a psychic vampire. No, she doesn't do that "Gimme your blood!" thing, she instead drains "energy" from the people around her. She does crave blood but she and her fellow psychic vampires will slash their wrists and feed each other that way when the hunger strikes. I love this, by the way, it's so deliciously twisted in a way that will surely appeal to all those Goth-wannabe little girls out there. "
"Immortal Desires offers vampire romance fans a fresh approach to the genre. Crymsyn R. Hart gracefully weaves the lifestyles of “real” vampires into the passion of the vampire romance novel."

Kalliope's klutzy ability to handle a variety of unexpected situations provides humor throughout this story while she is coming to terms with her new magical abilities, revelations about her past and dealing with her intense feelings for Lugh.

Who doesn’t want a sexy god to be lying naked in our beds promising us sexual pleasure unlike anything we have ever known! Ms Hart has taken the magical realm and made us laugh, boo and cheer for her characters. This book is not only steeped with hot gods, hell even Cromm has his fine points even though he is evil. The underlying story of good verses evil is there as well. Ms Hart does well to give us detail and vivid imagery so you can almost see these gods and goddess in our minds. I give this book five roses and it goes to show that Ms Hart not only knows vampires and things that go bump in the night. She can give us her sense of humor in her books as well. What is next for our reading pleasure Ms Hart!"
"...In a whimsical and magical world, a touch of passion adds to the unexpected fun and humor of God and Goblins, Oh My! Kalliope’s sense of humor through her klutziness gives a different edge to a supernatural being that is more human than most would suspect. As Kalli comes to terms with her gifts and understanding about her past, the feelings she has for the Celtic god are explored in the only way I can describe as a definite must read. This is a great book with all around comedy, love and best yet characters that drive the story from beginning to end. I was very pleased with this book and know others will share that same opinion."
