Happy Thursday All, ****GIVEAWAY PORTION OF THIS POST IS NOW CLOSED.  I AM NOT ACCEPTING ANYMORE ENTRIES FOR IT. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED AND TO KERRELYN SPARKS FOR DONATING THE PRIZE**** Well everybody, you're in for a rare treat. Not only is it an official blog book review day, but the author is also giving away one of her previously released books to ONE lucky person ( I'll put details on how to enter near the end of the post ... be sure to read them carefully !) Kerrelyn Sparks has done it again! On March 27, 2012 you will be able to own Phineas’ story, Wanted: Undead Or Alive In her usual good-humor fashion, Ms. Sparks immerses us in Phineas’ story…from the son of an abused mother, to desperate-for-cash, to Vamp and the “Love Doctor” we see all the many sides of Phineas. However, those things don’t even define this vampire. Wanting to shuck his careless “Dr. Phang” image, Phineas is in search of something real and lasting. The one-night stands are mean...

Happy Thursday All, Near the end of this month Kerrelyn Sparks will have a new release out and in April C.C. Hunter will, too. Both of these authors write paranormals (Kerrelyn writes Paranormal Romance and C.C. writes YA Paranormal). I got to thinking about all that and decided to get you, my dear readers, involved in a discussion: If you could choose which type of being your significant other was, would you choose werewolf or vampire?

In some stories, vampires never sleep, in other stories they sleep during the day. In some stories any kind of silver hurts vampires, and they burn up in the sun, in others ...

Happy Thursday Everyone, There's a YA Paranormal trilogy by Andrea Creamer  out there full of werewolves...only this isn't your ordinary werewolf--in fact, I kind of hestitate to call them "werewolf" because they're not really like that, they're not a typical werewolf at all. The last one came out January 3, 2012, and it was very good.

Lumine and the Bane's Keeper have arranged for Calla and Bane up-and-coming alpha, Ren to be mates. Calla understands this is how things must be. After all, her kind aren't allowed to choose very many things for themselves. They owe the Keepers everything. Except, w...
