A Special Gift

Rate this book
Stephanie O’Rourke was born with some unique gifts. Abilities normally not found in full-blooded vampires, let alone half-vamps like herself.
Surrounded by the love of her family, she is surprised at the violence that greets her in the outside world. When her gifts keep leading her to children in need of her help, leaving her to make a difference—one child at a time.
She survives the collapse of her world, at the cost of someone dear to her. How is she expected to go on with her body and soul shattered? Can her mate bring her back from the agony and despair of losing someone so close? Is he strong enough to stand for the two of them when everything they know is destroyed?
Welcome back some of your favorite characters and meet new ones as this special vampire community continues to grow. Join in as a community bands together when everything they know is destroyed, and their very way of life threatened, leaving them to stand united with the fight to rebuild what they once had.

I am a retired military wife and homeschool mom. I started writing about three years ago at my daughter's urging,but it took me until mid-2013 to get my nerve up and try to get published. It has been a whirlwind ride since then, but one that I don't plan to stop any time soon!

I loved this book.

This carries on from book 1. Kevin & Erica are happily married & expecting their first baby. The Vampire Community are thriving in their village underground.
The only blot on the horizon is Erika's ex brother-in-law. He still blames Erica for her ex-husband's death, & is threatening towards her & gives her some disturbing news.
Erica is involved in a car accident whilst very heavily pregnant,resulting in her having their baby being born in an emergency situation.

From the moment she is born Stephanie O'Rourke shows she has amazing powers. She grows into a lovely young woman & joins her father in the VCTF, working to help children. She is exposed to violence like she has never known. When tragedy strikes her whole world, her Mate, Marshall, helps her rebuild her life.

This is a great story, bringing back the characters we loved. The love story between Stephanie & Marshall is lovely & very sexy.

Once again ~Alice has given us an entertaining & touching story.

'A Special Gift', what a fantastic book. I loved Marshall & Stephanie's story. Marshall, a real sweetie, had such patience & loyalty for his mate and Steph, she loved her mate & family but she had such compassion for everyone around her! I loved Alice's imagination and style of writing for this book. I really enjoyed the fact that the characters from 'Vampires Among Us' was involved throughout the book, I loved the humor(loved WildCat haha) and then we of cause had the sad bits as well but overall it was a fantastic story and I'm really looking forward to book 3. Thank you Alice

This a fast paced story that will have you laughing and crying, with plenty of hot sex.
Well done Alice Brown, looking forward to book 3.

The story starts up where a Vampire Among Us left off with Kevin and Erica starting there lives together in marriage, and progressing to have a child (Stephanie) a half-vampire with special abilities. As Stephanie is nearing her adult years she yearns for two things that she doesn't think she can have working full time at the VCTF and Marshall her fathers second in command and her best friend! I enjoyed the interaction between Marshall and Stephanie as their relationship changed over the years from babysitter, best friend and then mate. Lots of action in this story as the VTCF tries to stop a War started by rogue vampires, missing and abused children, a half crazy vampire, and a devastating earthquake. This book definitely keeps you on edge with all the action packed drama. The characters are also amazing, the way they all work so well together and how they each play a role in the story. A huge event brings forth a lot of devastation and change to the vampires way of life that only makes them work harder together and more stronger. Although they have experience so much A Special Gift was given to them all and with that they all move forward.
