Succubus Blues

Richelle Mead encompasses romance, mystery, comedy and paranormal romance in her writing. I found myself having a hard time putting down Succubus Blues because each page will leave you wanting more. It is a wonderful tale of a woman who has given up her mortal life for the immortal life of a Succubus. The story is set in modern day Seattle and our Succubus, Georgina, works for a bookstore in the mortal world while collecting souls for the immortal world. Georgina, her vampire and imp friends must deal with her archdemon boss and his angel cohort because of a problem that threatens the balance of the immortal world. To make things worse she also has to cope with her emotions for an attractive writer, Seth Mortensen, which she would like to get her hands on.

The plot in Succubus Blues takes twists and turns you will not expect. Just when you think you have figured out part of the mystery a plot twist takes you in another direction. Richelle’s writing style brings her characters to life and makes you feel like you are right there amongst them. She loves the wacky and humorous and sets that tone in this book. With each chapter you are drawn into a wonderful world of paranormal romance and mystery with a bit of comedy thrown in for dessert.

I know I will definitely be picking up more of Richelle Mead’s books because she writes with a spice and flavor that anyone, young or old, would enjoy. Succubus Blues is a must read on my list.

"All you need to know is that you should be careful, Georgie. Extremely careful. I am not joking about this."
I swallowed hard, hearing the iron in the demon's voice. "But I'm not a vampire."
"I don't care. These hunter types sometimes follow vampires around, hoping to find others. You could be implicated by association. Lay low. Avoid being alone. Stay with others --- mortal or immortal, doesn't matter. Maybe you can follow up on your favor for Hugh and score some more souls for our side while your at it."
I rolled my eyes at that as the two walked to the door.
"I mean it. Be careful. Keep a low profile. Don't get involved with this."
"And," added Carter with a wink,” say hi to Seth Mortensen for me."
With that, the two left, closing the door gently behind them. A formality really, since either of them could have just teleported out. Or blown my door apart.
I turned to Aubrey. She had watched the proceedings cautiously from the back of my sofa, tail twitching.
"Well," I told her, reeling. "What am I suppose to make of that?"

Literary Forums

You may notice that we now have a Forums section to the right please check it out. I am hoping it will attract current published authors as I do reviews about them, and all of us up and coming authors can use it as well to ask them smart questions as well. I will moderate it and maybe get someone to help me moderate it when I can't. Hopefully I can get back to writing my book when I get a bit booked out so to speak from all of the books I have bought. Maybe they will help me to be able to get rid of the writers block that I have... *giggles*

My new reads

My new reads lately thanks to my husband are Paranormal romance books lately. I have already read Michele Bardsley's "I'm the Vampire, That's why", she is wonderful had me laughing through the whole book I could not put it down although I had too because I was at work. I picked up four more paranormal romance novels today. Three of them are in a set by Katie MacAlister and looks promising I think I will always be biased to Michele and her vampires in the Consortium though. The other is called "Succubus Blues" which is by Richelle Read I decided to read it first to keep into my vampire craving right now. I am a vampire freak love them... all the mystery and magic and etc. what can I say it is just neat ya know. But dragons and the like are also my style before these I was into R.A. Salvatore and the Icewindale Trilogy and the books that followed it . I am still collecting and reading his books. He is a great author although the Star Wars book he wrote I wasn't happy when he killed off Chewy but anyway. I will let you know what I think about these books as I finish reading them I am off of work for the next 3 days.

On Valentines Day

What do you think of when you hear the words Valentine's Day? I think of Roses, Candy, Diamonds, Candlelit dinners for two, etc, etc.... the list could go on and on. But what does it really mean to women it means a chance to see how much her partner really loves her. To a man it is a chance to freak out over the right gift for a woman or his partner in this day and age. For old times sake lets just say our couple is a man and a woman like my husband and I we don't usually freak out over our gifts well sometimes I do stress over his a bit. But it is not the major things that he has gotten me that have stuck with me it is the little things that he has done. The small insignificant things that I remember more than the diamonds or pearls that he may lavish over the years oh don't get me wrong ladies I do love the diamonds and pearls etc. etc. "Keep them coming hun" I have already gotten one of my Valentines presents my "I love my geek t-shirt" cause he knows I love my geek. But I digress, as I was saying it is the little things that they will remember the small things like dinner that you made and added the candles yourself maybe in their favorite color and their favorite dinner. Rose petals littering the floor to the bathroom that is filled with candles and a nice warm bubble bath in her favorite scent. Send the kids off to a friends or the grandparents house for the night or even a couple of hours for just a couple of hours alone and if you have a real patient spouse do a hide and seek for their present a kind of treasure hunt, with clues to find their present and if your really good each present. the champagne glasses or each glass and then the bottle and then etc. etc. you figure it out. But as I said it is the little things they will remember not the big things maybe just a saying or how you did something that they will remember not how wonderful your present was. Maybe just the thought you put into the present So think of something small this year not something that is going to knock them off their feet but something they will remember for years to come.

Happy Valentines day

Your first Snippet of my writing

What happens when good falls in love with evil? Does the evil try to be a little good or does the good turn out to be a little evil? There in lies our story, so lets start with with the good side. Our angel was taking a break from Heaven walking down the street in a little country town on earth she had chosen. She chose this little country town because it was not so large as some towns that she had been in lately. She had finished the cases that she was on and was on vacation. She had rented a small apartment on the north side of town and had it furnished modestly. She also had her favorite angelic cat with her for company. She loved all cats but this one was a dear to have around on earth. Although she did have to remind him to keep his wings in while on earth, yes angel cats do have wings too. She was out on this modestly warm autumn day, looking for a new toy for her angelic companion. Looking at the trees and smelling the wind as angels often do when she bumped into a handsome young man carrying his groceries in on hand and looking at his phone in the other. "Oh I am so sorry! I should have been more careful where I was going" she said as she helped him pick up his groceries smiling very sweetly at him. He was quite miffed but when he caught a glimpse of her sparkling blue eyes and the sparkle in them the quip he had ready for her quickly faded and it changed from "Stupid women never watch where they are going" to "That is ok I am sure those beautiful blue eyes were a bit blinded by the sun." She smiled and giggled and said " Why thank you. I am truly sorry maybe we shall meet again one day. next time without you dropping your groceries." She handed him her card and went on to finish looking for her kitty's toy. He looked down at the name on the card grinning evilly, "Yes my dear I am sure we will meet again, and next time we meet it will be more on my terms" he said as he stuck the card in his pocket flames lept in his eyes...
