Deborah Harkness spins an adventurous story of supernatural beings living among humans. I loved everything about this journey with Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont.

Valley of Dust
Title: Valley of Dust Author: Karoleen Vry Brucks Genre: Supernatural, Romance, Drama Publisher: Xlibris Corporation Release Date: August 7, 2012 Review: Valley of Dust receives 1 star. This is not an easy review for me. I had very high hopes for this book, but I wasn’t too far in when I knew that this book was going nowhere. I’ve read so many books in my lifetime. Some are great, some may have a great storyline while not particularly well written and some are just bad. Valley of Dust unfortunately falls into the last category and for a multitude of reasons. … Continue reading

Fang Girl by @HelenKeeble
Title: Fang Girl Rating: Author: Helen Keeble Genre: YA/Fantasy/Vampires Publisher: HarperTeen Release Date: September 11, 2012 Review: Phenomenal. The most entertaining vampire novel I’ve ever read. This novel was a fresh twist on the usually yawn-inducingly boring angsty teen vampire story. This book was laugh out loud funny! I wanted to keep reading. This novel made fun of all the vampire stereotypes. It was upbeat and modern, with a unique setting and wacky characters. The main character was all over the place with a spunky attitude. Her family was odd, which made them interesting. Her friends were supposed to be … Continue reading

Drain You by M. Beth Bloom
Title: Drain You Rating: Author: M. Beth Bloom Genre: YA/Fantasy/Paranormal Romance/Vampires Publisher: HarperTeen Release Date: July 24, 2012 Review: I did not enjoy this book AT ALL. As a teenager myself, I was really uncomfortable with the message that this book sends to people my age. The main character, Quinn, is completely unlikeable. She’s shallow, self-absorbed and lazy. The plot was also pretty unrealistic, even as far as vampire romance stories go. The instant romance with James and Quinn’s feelings of worthlessness when she’s not with him was disturbing, to say the least. I also did not like how disrespectful … Continue reading

A Q&A with New York Times Best Selling Author Julie Kagawa
It is question & answer time with New York Times Best Selling Author Julie Kagawa After writing the Iron Fey series for so many years, how difficult was it to immerse yourself in a futuristic world filled with vampires, rabids and an enslaved human race? It was…very different. I think the hardest thing for me was the fact that this story does take place in the real world — a futuristic, vampire-infested world, but the real world nonetheless. Things had to make sense, for example: how far can a large group walk in a single day if there were no … Continue reading

Let’s Talk Vampires!
NO NAILS IN THE COFFIN FOR THE VAMPIRE GENRE Vampire fiction is one of the main staples of the fantasy genre, but that wasn’t always the case.

Vampire fiction has evolved from this dark Gothic era to a new, more modern usage, being used in some of the best-selling books of today – below are just a few of the most dramatic influencers of perceptions of vampires: Dracula Though not the first … Continue reading
