BLOOD SURGE
by Dianna Hardy
The first book of a new series.
Book two is planned for December, 2026.


A beautiful library in a historic, sleepy town in Hampshire is the perfect place for Sophia to settle away from a fraught childhood and forgotten past. So forgotten, she hadn’t thought about it in over two decades until an old, unpleasant lover borrows a book and an innocent chat over coffee stirs long-buried emotions.

And once those gates open, they’re not so easily shut – the crazy keeps on coming in the form of a dead woman, a ridiculously gorgeous (and frustrating) man who keeps turning up around every corner, and a party at a stately home that’s to die for. Literally.

Sophia’s forgotten history is going to have to be remembered in a race against time if she wants to save her own life. Unfortunately, Sophia’s discovering her life isn’t what she thought it was – at all. In fact, her life might not even be hers, but indebted to a twisted, dark world made up of ancient vows and blood ties ... ones she can feel surging through her veins...

This is a passionate vampiric urban fantasy from British author, Dianna Hardy, set in a quaint English town in Hampshire.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Blood Surge is an intriguing mix of Urban Fantasy and Vampiric lore. The characters are complex, flawed, and completely intriguing.” — Book Reviews by Lynn

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The story Dianna has told just sucked me right in. It definitely had some vampire traits and lore as others have used but she made her vampires also unique in their own glorious way. At least to me as I’ve not read nor watched anything featuring the main lore here. Let me say I was here for it. I think she’s written some of the best ideas for a vampire story I have come across.”
— Rhonda McGuire (book reader)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Dianna’s characters always have layers, and often complex relationships, which means you’re always kept on your toes because you’re not quite sure how anything is going to play out.”
— Elizabeth Morgan, author of the Blood series

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I was fascinated by the different kinds of vampire in particular - there’s just so much attention to detail … I honestly can’t wait to read about what happens next to Sophia, her vampires and her frankly awful family.”
— Clare’s Little Book Obsession

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Blood Surge is about vampires and more than one kind. The way it explores the complexities of vampire society and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters kept me on the edge of my seat. Each twist and turn added depth to the story, making it impossible to put down until I reached the last page.”
— Nancy at The Avid Reader
