Henry has spent most of his time as a vampire in self-imposed isolation, but when a cult becomes determined to awaken the first vampire and a women who seems to be in the middle of it all comes crashing into Henry's life, something compels him to protect her... all while fighting his dark desire to drain her. Henry, his long-time friend Dougal, and Ari will have to figure out what the cult is...
Believe it or not, I've been wanting to do this post for a while (what with all the vampire books and urban fantasy I read, I come across a lot of quotes about blood), but it's kind of an odd topic, so October just seemed like the perfect time for it! Technically they're not all about blood, but they do involve blood in some way or another. Some I chose because they're funny, others because...
So I pretty much spent my week preparing for Hurricane Matthew (which thankfully didn't end up hitting us here) and then being exhausted from all the preparation, so I really don't have much to talk about. It's funny though how, as a kid, I never wanted anything serious to happen but always wanted the hurricanes to come close enough that school would be canceled (we don't have snow days here, we...
In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Christmas comes to Halloweentown... and vice versa. In Morning Glories Vol. 1, some kids get recruited to an evil boarding school. In iZombie Vol. 1, a zombie girl tries to figure out how to avenge the murder of the last man whose brain she ate. Enjoy my mini reviews for these three graphic...
Thaddeus, a Catholic vampire, kills demons for the White Monks, and in exchange they provide for him and, Thaddeus hopes, will help save his soul. He normally has female "assistants" to provide him with the blood he needs, but a mistake was made when Sara (short for Sarasija) was hired, and, after so many years of being alone, Sara awakens things in Thaddeus. Thaddeus will have to decide between...
M can do magic, though he prefers not to call it that. Mostly, he just enjoys the positive effects and good luck it brings him so that he can travel the world, drink beer, get high, meet pretty women, play chess, and get into various different sorts of trouble. And now that M is back in New York, it doesn't take long for trouble, and everyone he knows---friend and foe---to find...
I originally did a post about book covers featuring skulls roughly six months ago when it was the official topic of the week, but I kept finding so many great covers with skulls that I wanted to do it again! And something about a skull on a book cover just seems to automatically make it more interesting ;-) So here are some more awesome and gorgeous book covers for you all to...
Happy October, everyone! Not that I really have a special affinity for the month, but it seemed a fitting way to start the post. I thought I was finally going to have a rant-free Weekly Update, but alas, it just wasn't meant to be. Something always has to go wrong, Murphy's Law and whatnot. But you know what's great about having a blog and having people who actually read it, other than the...
Spencer has made her decision on which guy she wants to be with, but it still doesn't change the fact that Persephone is out wreaking havoc and that Spencer is one of the few people who can help stop her. Between fighting off demons and spirits, forging new friendships, discovering even more new abilities, and dealing with the consequences of her relationship choices, Spencer will have to stay on...
One night while walking home from a club, the vampire Reylan and his soon-to-be meal are attacked by a newly changed werewolf named Jorgas, and Reylan's human companion is killed. But a wild werewolf out killing humans is unacceptable and puts all the supernaturals risk, so Reylan agrees to help bring Jorgas in to the Arcardia Trust. Except vampires are asexual creatures and being both fascinated...
