As dark forces close in on Brogio and his beloved children, the end of all vampires could come from a single blow at any moment.

When Kane sacrifices himself to save Snow Blood, the pack believes he is truly lost forever. After the devastating loss, a new ever-present threat of destruction surrounding Brogio, the original vampire, threatens his kindred.

While the pack stands guard watching for predators on the outskirts of Brogio’s winery estate, Snow Blood discovers Selene is keeping secrets from Brogio. This deception and Selene’s rapidly growing strength and independence could create a rift between the father of all vampires and his mate.

At the same time, Snow Blood suspects that Nova, the beautiful female wolf that attracts him in the forest, is part of a sinister plot to destroy his master … but he can’t resist her power over him.

Praise for Snow Blood: Season 1

“A real surprise find for me. Being a dog person I was tempted but I only reluctantly ventured out to read this book about a white husky who becomes vampire. To my relief and joy the concept really worked! … The drama, the suspense and the perspective are excellent, and I no doubt will make my way through this canine paranormal series. Well done!”

-Christoph Fischer, Christoph Fischer Books, http://www.christophfischerbooks.com/

“5-Stars for Snow Blood!  Carol McKibben has outdone herself. She 'writes from the heart' as she once again weaves her magic by sharing her unique way of seeing life through the eyes of another animal. The moment I saw Snow's beautiful white fur and piercing blue eyes, I wanted to protect him. Then Brogio, the first vampire, must turn Snow; If he doesn't Snow will die. Carol's fluent writing is a page turner and this book is full of twists, turns and surprises. I won't give too much away but believe me you won't want to miss the series!" –Robin Potter

Goodreads reviews for Snow Blood: Season 1

Reviews from Goodreads.com
In Snow Blood, Season 1, another of Carol McKibben’s books, we encounter Snow, a white husky, who (as in Luke’s Tale, above) tells his own story. It involves a sinister plot against the father of all vampires told through a stream of supernatural events. And there’s another love triangle, of a sort, involving Selene, Brogio and Snow. This wildly imaginative tale delves deeply into a complex occult world of the vampire and the panwere (a type of shapeshifter).

• vampire, n. – one whom drinks the blood of others, be it animal or human.

• panwere, n. – a shapeshifter that can morph its life to match that of another creature.

This first of a series (Series 1) is told in six scenes or episodes. If you are a lover of vampire stories involving clever dogs, this book is for you.

-Literary Dogs, The site for Dogs in Print, http://literarydogs.com/2014/07/17/two-books-by-carol-mckibben/

"Approaching midnight and I can't stop reading Snow Blood. If you enjoy vampires, mythology, intrigue, and a love story all told from a dog's perspective...read this book. Page turner from page 1. Rare for a book to capture and hold my attention from page one. Author.. Carol McKibben"

As a fat kid with a hormone imbalance, Carol McKibben lost her self-esteem at the age of eight. She grew up in a small town in the South with parents who didn't know how to love each other. She lost sight of what love really meant, even when it was standing before her.

Attracted to controlling, selfish men, who find the insecure and now beautiful girl tempting, she marries her college sweetheart, and her world spirals downward from there.

The book is alive with vivid characterizations of an unforgettable family, friends and a villain of a husband whom you will be rooting against. Riding Through It is a story of redemption and finding unconditional love and the strength to take control of life. It is a candid and revealing account to which both women and men can relate and is meant to provide inspiration to others.
