An Eye of the Storm Novelette
Five months after the storm, Taylor is the most comfortable he's ever been in his skin. Despite the guilt that occasionally creeps up on him over Sarah's death, he counts his blessings every day, especially for the love and care he receives and shares with his three mates - his pack. No wolf is as 'wolf' as Taylor's become, and the most joyful day of his life is literally just around the corner.
But something's pressing against the edges of his memory - a scent; a voice - there was something he missed in the delirious state he was in when he was bitten almost a year and a half ago.
Why it's emerging now, he has no idea, but it won't leave him be. It's grasped him like a need for air and he finds himself following the promise of something near, yet intangible; a truth he senses; something 'his' he needs to find...
Right back at the start.
Publisher's note: After the Storm is a series of novelettes that take place at relevant points in the immediate months and years after Eye of the Storm. They concentrate on the healing our characters need to go through after everything that happened. They do not need to be read to understand the main story - they are additional reads for fans that also contain 'Easter eggs' for whats is to come.
My Review:
Twisted Roots is the second book in the After the Storm series by Dianna Hardy. It has been wonderful to step back into the lives of Lydia, Taylor, Ryan, and Lawrence. I have missed these characters and their world tremendously.
Stepping back into their world was like going home again. I have thought a lot about these characters many times over the past few years. I can’t seem to get them off my mind.
Twisted Roots took me back to a night in Taylor’s life that he has been trying to remember for a long time. Back to the night he was bitten. Twisted Roots gave us a little bit of what happened that night. But it also left me with even more questions.
Oh, the suspense had me racing to the end to see if all of my questions would be answered. Sadly, some were but not all. But unanswered questions are what keep me coming back for more. Oh, and the characters too, of course.
Dianna Hardy is one of my favorite authors of all time. I can’t ever seem to get enough of her stories. She will pull you into each and every book she writes and keep you hanging on for more. She knows how to make you feel what the characters are feeling. She can have you laughing one minute and crying the next.
Thanks for another great read, Dianna. I can’t wait to read more about these wolves.
I highly recommend Twisted Roots to all paranormal shifter fans! Grab your copy today!
Be sure and check out all the books in the After the Storm Series.

Twisted Roots #2
" “I write both full-length novels and short fiction. As a writer, I like my stories to move along at lightning speed without compromising character build-up, and I like some humour entwined in them too. My books are fast-paced, and I liken reading a good novella to watching a TV episode of a series – something's happening in every scene and there's always one hell of an ending!”
Dianna combines a titillating mix of contemporary and paranormal romance, as well as urban and dark fantasy, into her writing, to bring you stories that are action-packed, fastpaced and not short of heat, with the focus on both character development and the plot. She writes full-length novels and short fiction. She has also written poetry (first published in 1997) and esoteric books and articles. Nowadays, she chooses to concentrate on writing fiction.
In December 2012, Releasing The Wolf hit the Kindle Paranormal Fantasy charts in both the US and the UK, where it stayed for three months, enjoying a highest ranking of #20. The first two books in the Eye of The Storm series have enjoyed success in the top 100 of Fantasy charts on Kindle US and Kindle UK, and all books in the series to date have reached the top 100 of the Fantasy iTunes charts in Netherlands, Norway, Australia and the UK, with Heart Of The Wolf (book 3) reaching #1 in Denmark. The Witching Pen series, 'Til Death Do Us Part and A Silver Kiss, have also hit the top 100 of Kindle and iBooks charts (Fantasy, Romance and Horror) in a number of different countries worldwide.
Although quite active online, Dianna prefers the quiet company of nature and animals to the hustle and bustle of people. She loves anything paranormal (she doesn't really consider it "para"), organic food, walking barefoot, the smell of the woods after rain, and summer days.
However, she is also sustained by coffee, chocolate and the occasional vodka.
She currently lives in Surrey (United Kingdom) with her partner and their daughter, where she writes full-time.
