<h2>Say ‘Hi’ To Rafflecopter</h2>Rafflecopter makes the whole process of running giveaways on your blog really, really easy. Over 80,000 giveaways have been created with Rafflecopter, and if you didn’t know yet, there’s a <a href="http://blog.rafflecopter.com/2011/12/introducing-new-rafflecopter-widget/">new version in town</a>! Oh yeah, it’s free. If you haven’t used Rafflecopter, <a href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/?home">sign up and launch a giveaway</a> in the matter of minutes.<br />
If you’re a Rafflecopter veteran, check out several of our recent blog posts, including ‘<a href="http://blog.rafflecopter.com/2011/12/rafflecopter-six-tips/">6 Tips for Rafflecopter’s New Widget</a>‘, and ‘<a href="http://blog.rafflecopter.com/2011/12/rafflecopter-sign-in/">Rafflecopter Q&A: Facebook vs. Email Login</a>‘.<br />
<h2>Now… Let’s Give Away Something Awesome!</h2>To celebrate the new year, we’re going to give away a 16GB Apple iPad2 and several Kindle Fires. The giveaway starts Monday 1/9 at 12:01 a.m. and lasts for a month. To enter, simply tell us who referred you to this giveaway! You can receive additional entries by tweeting about this giveaway, following us on twitter, and giving us feedback. In addition, we’re doing something a little special to make things more fun:<br />
<strong id="mascot">Suggest a Mascot Name – </strong>You’ve seen the Rafflecopter smiley-face dude hanging around the web. The poor guy needs a name, and we want to leave it up to you to decide what his (or her?) name should be. For an additional entry, suggest a name! After the giveaway is over, we’ll go through the list of names and pick out our favorite suggestions (be creative!) and bring it to a vote on Facebook. If your name is chosen, you’ll win a Kindle Fire and be immortalized in Rafflecopter history :)<br />
<h2>Help Spread The Love… And Win! :)</h2>Nine months ago, we set out to create an app that makes it super simple to manage the process of running a giveaway on your blog. In 2012, with your continued support, we’re looking forward to making Rafflecopter even awesome-r :)<br />
Many of you have asked how you can give back. We’ve had emails sent to us asking if we accept donations. We’ve even had <a href="http://blog.rafflecopter.com/2011/08/theres-no-food-in-here/">folks send us food</a> and yes, someone even ordered us a pizza! We sincerely appreciate the support. Nothing makes us happier :) We believe in <a href="http://blog.rafflecopter.com/2011/06/why-is-rafflecopter-free/">keeping Rafflecopter free</a> and strive to keep it that way.<br />

Here today to share a wonderful author! First of all I would like to thank Lily And Rule for being with us today, I know that their time is very dear since the war begain!<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">* Rule has become the poster Man for the Lupi, how does that effect your life on a personal level?</span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: It's been interesting to see how many people have opinions on how I should conduct my personal life--opinions and speculation they feel compelled to share on blogs, tweets, Facebook, and in articles in celebrity magazines.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily (snorts): That's him being diplomatic. He doesn't let it get to him, though. Most of the time.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*Do you both feel like Toby is adjusting well to all the changes going on in his life? Is he asking for siblings, and do you want more children?</span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: He misses his grandmother, of course. She's been out to visit him once, but it isn't the same. Still, he loves it at Clanhome. Oh--I suppose you didn't know about that? We're living there now.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: Toby is amazing. I've always heard about how resilient kids are, and he's proving that true. And no, he never asks for siblings. He knows that's unlikely--all lupi kids know about the fertility problem. But maybe he doesn't miss having brothers and sisters now that we're at Clanhome. You should see the way kids club up together there, in and out of each other's houses all the time. It's like they all have lots of siblings. </div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*What would you guys say to the doubters about your relationship? What would you say is the easiest part of your relationship and what would be the hardest? Can you both remember what the biggest surprise you found out about one another?</span> </span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: I don't say anything to the doubters. None of their business.<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: The easiest part is what I would have thought, before meeting Lily, would be hardest--living intimately and daily with someone not raised in the clans. There are a thousand opportunities for friction as we deal all the minutae of sharing space, from dividing chores and drawers to learning each other's privacy settings, moods, and favorite foods. But Lily makes it easy. She's compulsively fair-minded--</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: Compulsively?</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: Your Priority Scale.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: That's a perfectly reasonable way to decide when to let things slide and when to speak up.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: It is. Absolutely and beautifully reasonable. But most people don't have any idea what their priorities are, much less a scale. </div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="yiv1330664207Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">*What is this priority scale?</span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: It's simple enough. If something's bugging me, I think about where it hits on a ten-point scale. If it's one to three, I forget it. It's not worth worrying about. Seven to ten, I'd better talk about it with Rule. It matters, and he needs to know that. If it falls in the middle--from four to six--it might be good to find out if there's a comfortable compromise. Or not. Like if something's a four for me and a nine for Rule, I let him have that one. It matters to him a lot more to him than to me. Take his paper piles on the dining table. I don't like clutter, but that's how he works. It's important, so I don't worry about it. If we're both a four or five, though, we should each give a bit. </div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: And it works. It works because Lily means it. Once she's scored something one to three, she truly does forget about it. </div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*So Rule, having two mantles must be strange to you, I mean, I am sure the Noholai and the Leidof mantles must be conflicting for you? Do the natures of each mantle battle for dominance or do they sit comfortable together? Rho of both or master of none?</span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: I'm sorry, but I really can't discuss that with out-clan.<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*Do you both feel like you will ever move to Clanhome?</span></span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: There's a war on. We already did. [find out about this in DEATH MAGIC]</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*Lily, does it ever get any easier getting used to having pieces and memories missing from yourself?</span></span> (and this is my own curiosity, how does it feel talking to dragons?)</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: No, I'm whole now. I came together again when Sam used my true name. [in BLOOD MAGIC] As for talking to dragons . . . that's really weird at first. You can't mistake mindspeech for your own thoughts. You just can't, so all of a sudden there's this voice in your head when all your life the only thoughts there were your own. It's like all at once you see another color, a whole new color that didn't exist before. It's not orange or blue or red or green or any version of them. It's brand new. So that's startling, but after awhile it isn't new anymore, but it's still interesting. It's really interesting, and now that I know there are millions of other colors out there . . . human colors, so yeah, they're muddy, like Sam always complains. But still pretty cool. Or it will be if I ever learn how to do mindspeech halfway right.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">*Is it hard to keep you personal and professional lives separate? I know that Rule, God love him, is bossy and sometimes it would be difficult to keep them seperate!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule (glancing at Lily): I don't think we do keep them separate.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: No, we don't. Being Rho to one clan and Lu Nuncio to another . . . that's not Rule's profession. That's a huge part of who he is. Can't fence it off.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: And <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1320145912_0">Lily is</span> a cop . A warrior. Why would I ask her to separate that part of herself? Why would I want her to?</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*How is Cullen and Cyna getting along? I must say I am looking forward to seeing the new little one! I know all of my readers would kill me if I don't get an update!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily (smiling): It's really something, you know, watching the two of them together. They fuss and bicker and then they touch and they smile at each other and it's all there in their eyes. It's all right there.<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: My friend is happy. I've known him twenty years, and he's happy now. And little Ryder is part of his happiness, but not all. Not by any means all.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Lily: She's really something isn't she? I haven't been around babies much, but they feel . . . when you hold her and she looks up at you with those big blue eyes . . . </div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule (taking Lily's hand): Yes.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*What would you guys say will be your biggest challenge to overcome to have some piece and quiet in your life?</span></span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Rule: We're at war. Peace and quiet are always at a premium during war.</div><div style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div id="yui_3_2_0_1_13201424570451035" style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13201424570451032" style="font-style: italic;"><span id="yui_3_2_0_1_13201424570451029" style="font-weight: bold;">*Now we will ask some fun things, enough of the heavy, and onto...What is your all's favorite color, and Rule you cannot say black, lol!? What is your favorite meal that makes your mouth water just to think about it? If you could go any where in the world for vacation, where would you like to go? Are either of you ticklish? In a battle of words, which of you would run circles around the other?</span></span></div><div><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span></span></div><div>Rule (apologetically): You must remember that I'm not as visually oriented as a human. I don't think I have a favorite color.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Lily: He likes silver a lot. And green. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Rule (surprised): I suppose I do. For the rest . . . a t-bone, rare. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1320145912_1">New Zealand</span>, because I've never been there. We're both ticklish, but in different places. And Lily wins every time, in every way.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Lily: See that? See how he answered? That's why he ends up winning. Every time, in every way.</div><div><br />
</div><div>They look so good together! I wish them well in all of their endeavors, now and in the future! Thanks so much for being here!</div><br />

But I wanted to share this wonderful series, <i>The Blood Singer Series,</i> with you! I had the first two books on my TBR self literally for months! When I went through my books I found it in the back, got them out and read them in three days! As soon as I finished #2, I HAD to go buy #3! This series really rocked my world! I enjoyed everything about it! I cannot believe that I had these book for months, <b>months</b>, and just got around to reading them! I can't wait for the next installment <i>The Isis Collar (due out 3/13/12) </i> I don't know if I will make it that long...</div><div class="style2">Celia's character is multifaceted, with a charming mix of kick-ass and take names, to vulnerable, to drop dead sexy. She has two main love interests, that will knock your socks clean off, battling it out for her affections, Bruno DeLuca and John Creede (after all, she is half siren!). I personally am rooting for John, he is my favorite of the two. Fantastic world and character building, as you can live in Celia's shoes! These books are the biggest adrenaline high I've had all year, a must read for any fans of Urban Fantasy! If you haven't read this series yet, what are you waiting for? Drop everything you are doing and get this series, well worth the money and you time! 5 out of 5 stars for all three books!</div><div class="style2"><br />

</div><div class="style2"> Nothing if not resilient, Celia Graves is slowly adjusting to being a half-human, half-vampire Abomination. But her troubles are far from over. Her best friend’s murder is still unsolved, the cops are convinced she should be in jail, and her old lover, the magician Bruno DeLuca, has resurfaced in her life, saying he has something important to tell her.<br />
<br />
The vampire attack that transformed Celia kicked her latent Siren abilities into high gear, and now she’s been summoned to the Sirens’ island to justify her existence—and possibly fight for her life—in front of the Siren Queen. Celia isn’t sure she’ll survive to make the trip. The demon she defeated in Blood Song hasn’t exactly gone quietly—he’s left Celia suffering from a powerful curse.</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

I am sorry I didn't post Friday, I had to work both Friday and Saturday, so now onto Sunday! lol<br />
But I am sure that everyone will extend a warm welcome to Meljean Brook! Meljean has a VERY successful series out called The Guardians, and it just happens to be one of my all time favs! If you have yet to read this series, you don't know what you are missing!<br />
First of all I wanted to say that I greatly admire you and LOVE reading your books! I first discovered your work in the anthology "Hot Spell" and I have to say that I was hooked! The Guardians world is so rich and the world building is just spell binding...okay I feel as though I am gushing! *blush* Thank you for taking the time for this interview! It means a great deal to me and I am sure my readers will enjoy a trip into your mind! lol<br />

I’ve always loved reading, and that naturally bled into telling my own little stories, and I’ve always liked writing. I imagined myself as a writer many times, but never seriously pursued it until I was in my twenties. Then I realized that was exactly what I wanted to do as a career. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><i><u><span style="color: black;">What authors have been the biggest influence on you and your writing?</span></u></i></b><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">This is one of those questions that is almost impossible to answer, because I read so much – influence and inspiration came from everywhere – Jean <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319401437_0">Auel</span>, Philip Dick, Stephen King, Johanna Lindsey, the Trixie Belden series, every Harlequin Presents author that was writing in the late 70s and early 80s, Dean Koontz, Jane Austen. I can see bits and pieces of so many different authors in my work that even this list is a poor accounting of it. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><i><u><span style="color: black;">What would you say to any aspiring writers out there? Any Advise? I know that sometimes, it can be hardest job of all! I personally admire all writers their muse and imagination to create these beautiful characters and worlds!</span></u></i></b><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">My strongest piece of advice is always to write the books that you’d love to read. Don’t try to follow trends, don’t try to write the books you think that someone else wants to read – write the books that YOU want to read. Writing is a difficult, solitary process. The least you can do for yourself is to love what you’re writing. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><i><u><span style="color: black;">What do you enjoy doing once "The End" rolls around after writing, edits and more edits? Do you have a happy dance?</span></u></i></b><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">Usually I sleep after I finish a book, because I probably won’t have slept for several weeks before that. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">Otherwise, there really is no ‘end.’ After I send in the book, edits come. Then page proofs. And by the time the book is on the shelves I am neck-deep in another book, so even publication isn’t the end of anything. There’s always more work waiting for me. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><i><u><span style="color: black;">What do you enjoy reading during your down time?</span></u></i></b><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">I don’t have much free reading time, but when I can steal a few moments, I usually read romance novellas, Harlequin Presents (they are like an emotional jolt, which I love) or thrillers, horror and suspense. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><i><u><span style="color: black;">When you write about the past, do you ever feel like you belong in a different time, and if so which time would you prefer?</span></u></i></b><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">I never feel as if I belong in a different time, no. I do try to write as convincing a setting as possible, but I am very firmly a 21<sup>st</sup> century girl. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><i><u><span style="color: black;">What sort of things inspire you, as in what is your muse or happy place?

I find inspiration everywhere – in overheard conversations, in everyday situations, in movies I watch or pictures I see, in stories I hear – but I don’t depend on any one thing to inspire me, and if there isn’t an idea shouting at me, I’ll go out and find it myself. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">I write wherever I need to. Sometimes that means I’m at my kitchen table or at my desk in my room. Sometimes I’ll go to Starbucks, because even though I’m a total introvert and don’t talk to anyone once I get there, I like to be around people now and again instead of stuck in my hole all day. So I don’t have any one place to write. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><b><i><u><span style="color: black;">Do you feel that fiction is inspired by life, that maybe where there is smoke, there's fire? Any truth in fiction?</span></u></i></b><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">I think that all of the best fiction is rooted deeply in truth. Oh, not in the sense that it’s REAL – but that it’s true. This is why even though a book might be set in a paranormal world and feature creatures that don’t exist still has to feature a romance that feels believable to us. The characters’ motivations and reactions must resonate with us in some way that we recognize – they have to feel true, or the story won’t work. <br />

All of my characters have different points of views and different religious beliefs, but the one idea that the entire world hinges on is the belief that everyone has free will and the choices they make determine the type of person they are -- and that is all me. </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="color: black;">Sometimes choices are limited, true, but I don’t believe that any fate is determined and that choice doesn’t matter. Even someone like Khavi, who can see the future, can only see the possible outcomes of choices that are made; she can’t make the decision for them (although she can guess which one they are likely to make). The actual choice is up to the individual, however, and so they are the only one that determines their ultimate fate.</span></div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><br />

</div><div class="yiv1254861997MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><span style="color: black;">Honestly, I can't really think of many thing that I'm willing to share that I haven't already shared through my blog or some other medium.

“Ascension”<br />
When vampires begin disappearing from a community protected by Guardian Marc Revoire, the world-weary warrior doesn’t know whether he’s hunting a demon or one of the bloodthirsty nosferatu — but he’d rather face either of those monsters than accept help from Radha, the irreverent, blue-skinned, and oft-naked Guardian who’d once loved him and left him. He won’t be able to persuade her to leave this time, however, because lighthearted Radha is on a deadly serious mission of her own: not just to help Marc save the community…but to save him.<br />
<br />

After his father’s death, a demon took over his mother’s body and raised him. Six years ago, his “mother” was responsible for the disappearance of the woman he loved, and Nicholas swore he’d find her—even if he had to go to Hell and back. Except she finds him first—and with one tormented kiss, he knows she too is a demon. Now he is determined to take his revenge… <br />
Ash is a half-demon with no memory of her past or how she got to Hell. All she knows is that Nicholas St. Croix holds the key to her identity. And though he’s clearly drawn to her, Nicholas makes no secret of his distrust of her. Yet one kiss at a time, he breaks down her defenses as they battle an array of demons and Guardians. But is Ash’s greatest enemy the man at her side?<br />

Anso Vitul has ruled the wereseals for one short month. He hardly needs his authority questioned because he’s going crazy from mating heat.

<span id="longdescr_snip">This was a truly fantastic read! Ms. Holly will turn the shape-shifting world on their respective ears! I read this book in one sitting, and girls, I am here to tell you that this book is <i>smokin</i>'<i>, HAWT! </i>You are going to need a very large glass of water while reading this one, just to put out the enter fires! Ms. Holly's characters are mature adults that are comfortable with their sexuality and not shy about asking and getting what they want. I loved Olivia, her character seemed like a very nurturing and positive force, she kept the scales balanced between her needs and that of her "men". James, Olivia's husband was almost to good to be true, and seemed to take a backseat in the story. Anso, was very charismatic and charming, but the stand out in this book for me was Ty! In the end I was rooting for his happiness in a cast of forceful personalities, I loved the twist and turns during this book and kept my interest throughout, and I loved her world building! Ms. Holly has been a favorite of mine for a long time and I always relish one of books coming out and they are always on my TBR list! If you enjoy Emma Holly's Demon world, you'll love this book! I give it 5 of 5 stars! For more on this or anything that Ms. Holly writes, please visit her web site for more info! Happy reading!</span><br />

The war between good and evil has raged for millennia, but now evil is winning, and The Marked Souls are caught in the middle. <br />
<br />
Liam Niall never wanted to be a leader, but after surviving the horrors of the Irish potato famine, he found himself possessed by a demon in search of redemption. Now, he heads the Chicago talyan in their fight against evil, though he grows weary and plagued by self-doubt. Then he meets Jilly Chan. She's a mentor to local homeless youth and waging a one-woman war against the drug-dealing slime that preys upon her charges. She's already half-taken by a demon, so Liam reluctantly tries to guide her into full power. Even as the proudly independent Jilly struggles to remain true to her own soul, Liam's fiercely passionate touch soon leaves a mark of desire on her flesh as enduring as her new demon tattoo. <br />

Cat and Bones have a new adventure to share with everyone, and as usual, nothing is quite what it seems...<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"> Having narrowly averted an (under)world war, Cat Crawfield wants nothing more than a little downtime with her vampire husband, Bones. Unfortunately, her gift from New Orleans’ voodoo queen just keeps on giving–leading to a personal favor that sends them into battle once again, this time against a villainous spirit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Centuries ago, Heinrich Kramer was a witch hunter. Now, every All Hallows Eve, he takes physical form to torture innocent women before burning them alive. This year, however, a determined Cat and Bones must risk all to send him back to the other side of eternity–forever. But how do you kill a killer who’s already long dead?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> As always I enjoy being along for the ride with Cat and Bones! It rocks, and it seemed only fair that Fabian got his own story, it was about time that Fabian got his sidekick! Fabian and Elizabeth made an awesome team for Cat and Bones! It seemed wonderful to have the gang all back, including Ian. (still hoping for a story about Ian...)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Cat and bones faces an unbelievable challenge (who am I kidding, in their world everything is believable!) of taking on an incorporeal ghost with death on his mind. I have always been interested in the Salem witch trials, and the devastation that they caused. It seems that evil existed long before we did, and it makes me glad that people *seem* to be better informed in the 21st century, although prejudice is still alive and well! There are still unanswered questions by the end of this book, ones that I hope will be addressed in a later book, and hopefully Ian's story, as I am looking forward to! Cat and Bones have really worked hard to have the relationship that seems exciting, yet comfortable...the kind of relationship that everyone dreams of, where when one thought leaves off, the other one picks up and seamless unity! To see the evolution of how it all begin to now, is a thrill ride and a true love story for the ages! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> All in all it was a very good read, and anyone that has kept up with this series will love this book, and for those of you that haven't, I highly recommend that you start now!

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Labor Day! Funny how they call it "Labor" when most people are off work! lol Anyhoo, I owe you guys another apology! I have been remiss in my posting, due to family problems and a vacation (pictures to follow) I missed my own blogaversary amd I aim to rectify that today! :-)<br />
I Have three books to give to 3 different commentators! The first thing that I would like to learn about our readers is what would you all like to see on this blog, as in more/less of reviews, Fiendish Fridays, etc...I honestly want to know!

<a href="http://www.creative-wallpapers.com/bilder/free/wallpapers/laurell-k-hamilton-anita-blake-1280x1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="http://www.creative-wallpapers.com/bilder/free/wallpapers/laurell-k-hamilton-anita-blake-1280x1024.jpg" width="200" /></a> I have had so much going on that I have missed the last two Fridays! But, time to get back on track! This weeks FF topic is Erotica in books. To some, not a requirement, but others really like reading! Some of my favorite authors have very explicate and sometimes dark erotic scenes! HAWT alpha male and lots of steaming hot sex!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b4/Guilty_Pleasures.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b4/Guilty_Pleasures.png" width="122" /></a></div><a href="http://cdn3.staztic.com/screenshots/merry-gentry-series-18-1201-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://cdn3.staztic.com/screenshots/merry-gentry-series-18-1201-1.jpg" width="133" /></a> First up is Laurell K. Hamilton! Laurell is a very talented author who writes two series, Anita Blake and Meredith Gentry. Anita Blake series is the first to hook me and reel me in! The books don't start off erotic, but lead into it gradually. Books 1-5 have hints for the things that are to come and get you totally vested in Anita and her way of life. The next series is Meredith, which is the one I refer to as the Fae series. Both of these series are poles apart, but share a strong female character that I really enjoy! (Bad bad ass chicks that bite) If you have never tried Laurrell K. Hamilton, then I suggest that you drop everything and RUN to the nearest book store to pick one of these up! Both series have multiple partners and it's not recommended for anyone under 18!<br />

Reader beware! Emma writes about multiple partners, even same sex partners, faint of heart need not apply! Very Hawt! She has this series called The Fitz Clare Chronicles that follows this family, each having their own book, and the Tales of the Demon World. Both sets are VERY good! I enjoy each for different reasons, but for those of you that are interested please visit Emma's web site and check her out!<br />

I found her when I read the anthology called *Hot Spell*, a very good book, I found her Breed series! VERY sexually graphic in nature, forgive my pun, and the Alpha male rules! These books are so good they make me want to grab my husband and jump his bones, and I mean that in a good way *wink*! In recent years I have grown board with this series, as it has become too predictable for me, but never the less, it's still a very good series and I've been told that I grow board too easily! For those of you that are interested, visit her web site!<a href="http://dynamic.images.indigo.ca/books/1419951076.jpg?lang=en&width=180&quality=85">Lora </a></div><a href="http://www.loraleigh.com/">Lora Leigh's Web Site</a>:<br />

Now, while searching for her still-missing bayou pirate cousin, Kallie finds out the hard way that someone is undoing powerful gris gris, which means that working magic has become as unpredictable as rolling a handful of dice.<br />
The wards woven to protect the Gulf coast are unraveling, leaving New Orleans and the surrounding bayous vulnerable just as a storm–the deadliest in a century–is born.<br />
As the hurricane powers toward the heart of all she loves, Kallie desperately searches for the cause of the disturbing randomness, only to learn a deeply unsettling truth: the culprit may be herself.<br />
To protect her family and friends, including the sexy nomad Layne Valin, Kallie steps into the jaws of danger . . . and finds a <i>loup-garou</i> designed to steal her heart–literally.<br />

This book picks up exactly where the last book "Black Dust Mamba" ,in the hoodoo series, left off! High excitement as the book is off and running, literately, running! Jackson has been kidnapped and Kallie and Belladonna are off to track Jackson down and to kick some ass...well that was the plan, but flying by the seat of your pants seems to work soooo much better, lol! No surprise that the evil Doctor Heron has targeted Kallie's family and friends, and to protect her family and friends, she searches for a solution for all the problems that have been plaguing her world. <br />
Sexy Layne Vallin, the nomad, is right in the middle of the mix, and the heat is turned up 140 degrees between Kallie and Layne. The steam could be felt flying of the pages! Wow, is it hot in here or what? Anyone that has read any of Adrian's books before this will not be disappointed in "Black Heart Loa"! A thrill ride for stat to finish with enough heat to burn down the whole Bayou! 4,75 out of 5 Stars!<br />
I am very excited to announce that July 24 Adrian will be here it do a character interview, and best of all she will be giving away both books in the hoodoo series, "Black Dust Mambo" and Black Heart Loa" signed! Squee! And to one other lucky winner another of her books of the winners choice also signed! Isn't Adrian Great? So be sure to turn in on the 24th of July for the interview and giveaway!
