<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">In Mississippi, there's a legend about a Singing River, a
tragic love story that ended with an entire Indian tribe singing a death chant
as they marched stoically into the Pascagoula River to die ...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">At eighteen, Haven Ambrose isn't just a high school graduate.
In her head, she's an aspiring writer, a traveler, a chef, a slayer of
injustice, an astronomer, an archaeologist, and the love child of a famous,
rich musician. But reality is harsher. Reality is overdue bills, a crumbling
trailer, an absent father, an old addiction, and a hot, crushing summer that
may end in disappointment.</span></div>

appearances can be deceiving. The oldest son of a wealthy family, he has
finished his first year at Harvard to return home for the summer only to
discover his younger brother headed down an unforgiving road.</span></div>

summer, they say the Pascagoula death chant can still be heard near the Singing
River. Its call is haunting, its chant a testament of love and sacrifice. It
calls to some ... beckoning.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">First
let me say that it is no secret that I adore this writer. I can say without a
doubt that she is my all-time favorite author, out of both big press and indie.
Her ability to capture your full attention with uniqueness and never let go is
a rarity in such a growing genre. With that said, The Singing River is her best
work yet! It’s haunting, brutally honest and beautifully heartfelt. Being her
debut in NA/Contemporary Romance genre, it is nothing short of brilliant.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Ambrose has been her mother’s rock for as long as she could remember. Even at
eighteen years old, she works hard to keep them both a float. When her dad left,
she knew that there was a difference between her wants and their
responsibilities. Craving something more, but knowing that would only come if
she could make sure her mom would be okay without her around. This summer was
going to either make her or break her…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;"><span style="color: black;">River
Brayden knows all about responsibilities. As the eldest son of a wealthy
family, there are certain expectations of him. Even more so now that his father
was brutally murdered. With only a year of Harvard under his belt, twenty year
old, River is called home to try and reach his troubled younger brother before
it is too late. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">In
the heat of summer, brought together by local folklore</span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large;">; </span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">a girl from the other side
of the tracks, a boy with everything but what he truly wants and a legend of a tragic
love that ended in the death of entire tribe…this summer would change
everything. Because the death chant that is said to heard across the Singing
River is more than just a legend. It will be their awakening…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">The
amount of emotion that this book wrenched from me is staggering. Ms. Ryals has
this uncanny gift for making you fall madly in love with her characters. When
they cried, I did too. There were actually times where I had to stop reading
because the heartbreak was so real. She got a few ugly cries out of me with
this one. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s hauntingly beautiful and
real. It is easily one of my favorite reads this year. Bravo, R. K Ryals….you
did it again. There isn’t a genre out there that you couldn’t write and write
well. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">I stepped toward her. “You have a way of making people relate
to you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">She snorted. “I doubt that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">I was in front of her now, my face peering down into hers.
“Really, you do. A few hours of knowing you feels like days.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">“Sounds tiresome,” she teased.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">“It’s a gift,” I countered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">There were sudden lines in her forehead, a troubled look in her
eye. “Some might call it a curse,” she murmured. “By the end of this trip,
you’ll want me gone.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">It was my turn to frown, my gaze studying her face. She had
green eyes so dark they could be mistaken for brown and lashes so long they
almost touched her brows. True, she was more willowy than curvy, but she was
beautiful in an understated, elegant kind of way. The faint freckles on the
bridge of her nose drove me crazy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">“Why do you think that?” I asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">There was something stark and open about her eyes when she
answered, “Because I am better at being abandoned than I am at keeping people.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti;">Nely Cab was born
on December 9, 1974, in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She has lived and
resided in South Texas most of her life. In 2001, the author relocated to
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, where she dedicated time to the study of
culinary arts and the art of oil painting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti;"><div style="text-align: center;">
After her return to the U.S., she resumed her employment in banking and in the
following year transitioned to the field of Social Work. Later, Nely took
up writing as a hobby and produced her first novel entitled
"Creatura".</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Last year, the rights to "Creatura" were sold to a leading Young
Adult publisher in a foreign country, where it has just recently been released.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">Amazing.
Fantastic. Heart-pumping, and brutal. These are just some of the words I would
use to describe this very original dystopian novel. Heartbreaking at times and
addictive from page one; Branded is one hell of a ride and it is one I will take
over and over again. The depth of this story and how many twists and turns
there are in it, it is a must read for any book lover. Even if this isn’t your
usual genre, this book is a game changer! Trust me…you want to read this book! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">In
a world where justice lies in a single tyrant, the ‘guilty’ are marked and
wrote off. These people are known as Sinners and their marks are a constant
reminder that no one is safe and when you are marked you are forever convicted
of that sin. There are seven deadly sins, each represented by a color and a discrimination.
Instead of a prison system, they are nearly worked to death in the same matter
as slaves would be. There is no justice when one man rules them all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">Lexi
Hamilton has given up. There is nothing good left in the world now that her
father was dead and she was more than ready to die along with him, but moments
before she could commit suicide, they came for her. To mark her a whore even if
the ruling was lie. She is sentenced to the Hole for the rest of her days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">Completely
broken, she doesn’t fight back. What’s the point? No one can escape the Commander
or his sadistic guards and what’s waiting for her in the Hole will change her
whole life and possibly even her soul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">Cole
is assigned to protect Lexi at all costs. When a beautiful girl is marked with
LUST, there is nowhere that is safe for her. She is looked at as flesh and nothing
more. And it doesn’t make his job any easier. To make matters worse, the more
he learns about her the harder it becomes to disconnect from her. There is a
pull there and it scares the hell out of them both. In a world where love is
forbidden between the two castes, will they be able to deny the truth? Will
there finally be a way to overthrow the Commander and save what’s left of
humanity? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 16pt;">I cannot
stress enough how truly incredible Branded is especially for a debut novel.
Being unique in every way, I can honestly say you have never read anything quite
like this before. With its vivid imagery both brutal and beautiful, Lexi’s
story pulls you in and doesn’t let go until the very end and even then you are
left wanting more. Bravo, Abi and Missy! This is clearly going to be a
bestseller! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and Missy met in the summer of 1999 at college orientation and have been best
friends ever since. After college, they added jobs, husbands and kids to their
lives, but they still found time for their friendship. Instead of hanging out
on weekends, they went to dinner once a month and reviewed books. What started
out as an enjoyable hobby has now become an incredible adventure.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">Living a double life, Caleb is a hard-working and self-assured
man, who doubles as an arrogant, cocky and womanizing prick. With his choices
of women on a layaway plan, he’s never lonely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">Caleb believes he’s nailed the market on being the ultimate
playa and never wonders what the consequences could be if Sarah, his live in,
ever found out…until she does. When Sarah turns his life upside down, Caleb
loses it and catastrophe follows not far behind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">When his world gets flipped right size up, he begins to realize
the things that are really important to him. Although Caleb makes some ultimate
sacrifices to save his pride, ego and relationship with Sarah, he still hides
one very important secret.</span></div>

and raised in a small Texas town called Spring. As the mother of three, she
spent most of her adult life dedicated to raising her family. With her children
almost grown, she decided to fulfill her dream of writing. Her best friend,
told her 'pen to paper sweetie, never give up, and never let anyone tell you
that you CAN'T—‘ she heeded his advice and didn't. She writes contemporary and
steamy romance and several memoir pieces on the back burner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Everyone
assumes that Joelie Baudelaire lives a charmed life. She has a generous
benefactor in Warren Jardine, and a glamorous lifestyle in the exciting city of
Las Vegas. Everyone is wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">When
Warren is arrested, Joelie has the ability to escape the emotional jail he's
held her captive in for two years. Her father's house should be her refuge, but
it's another kind of prison altogether. All Joelie wants is a normal, peaceful
life. Discovering that she is one of The World Elite, a genetically superior
race, puts a whole new set of shackles on her life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Her
destiny is planned, and her future marriage is pre-arranged. While Joelie still
remembers her childhood crush on the Elite, Sender Stelle, it isn't easy to
accept a betrothal to a man she barely knows beyond his photograph.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Warren
doesn't want to release his control over her. The World Elite would force her
to fulfill her destined duty, and Sender has gone from resigned acceptance to
benign co-operation with the powers that be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that he would not be joining them in their box at the Opera that evening. Ever

she climbed aboard the carriage. She noticed an unfamiliar equipage parked down
the block, but in the streetlight, she could not make out the crest. Something
about it disturbed her, however she was unsure what. “Aunt Kate, do you know

where the opera house was located. Jean opened the carriage door and helped
them to descend. They entered the exquisitely decorated building and made their
way through the throng of patrons to their box on the second floor. Ellen sat
down in one of the front seats so that she might take everything in, and looked
around in excitement. The stage, hidden by gold brocade curtains, would be easy
to see from their seats. She glanced up with delight at the gorgeous tapestries
hanging upon the walls. Everything looked so inviting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Well’s box with a stunning raven-haired courtesan. At least that is what Ellen
suspected her to be. The woman wore a dangerously low cut gown of ruby red
silk. She had a positively gaudy diamond necklace around her throat and the
seductive way she leaned into Christopher made Ellen sick with jealousy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

slapped. “How dare he!” Positive that her cheeks were as red as the Cyprian’s
gown, Ellen covered them, willing herself to be calm. She turned at once to
Lord Sinclair, who had just entered the box. “Lord Sinclair, how lovely it is
to see you. Will you be joining us for the entire performance, Milord?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to Christopher. <i>If he thinks I am going to behave the proper lady with him
sitting with a harlot, then he has another think coming</i>. She leaned in
closer to Lord Sinclair with determination and her most charming smile. “Have
you seen this opera, Milord?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

passion for novels, the beaches of St. John, and her Philadelphia
Phillies. A talented singer, Abi loves to go running and spend lots of time
with her family. She currently resides in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with her
husband, triplet daughters and two very spoiled dogs.<br />
<br />
Melissa Kalicicki received her bachelor’s degree from Millersville University
in 2003. She married, had two boys and currently lives in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. Aside from reading and writing, her interests include running and
mixed martial arts. She also remains an avid Cleveland sports fan.<br />
<br />
Abi and Missy met in the summer of 1999 at college orientation and have been
best friends ever since. After college, they added jobs, husbands and kids to
their lives, but they still found time for their friendship. Instead of hanging
out on weekends, they went to dinner once a month and reviewed books. What
started out as an enjoyable hobby has now become an incredible adventure.</strong></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">I
adore many indie and self-pubbed authors too! I was recommended by a friend to
send my manuscript to Vamptasy, so I looked them up. I loved their way of doing
things and how friendly they appeared.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Honestly,
don’t give up on your dreams! I never thought I would ever have a novel
published yet here I am! Never push yourself too much. Enjoy writing and revel
in your amazing imagination. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">That
is a tough one! My all-time favourite author is Stephen King. I admire how
blunt and ‘straight to the point’ he is. People are often criticized for what
they write, but he never cared. I remember an interview I read with King. He
was asked something like ‘why do you write about such scary things?’ and he
replied ‘why do you assume I have a choice?’ In school I was often made fun of
and criticized for my style of writing and themes, and after reading those wise
words of Stephen Kings I smiled and carried on writing what I enjoyed to write
about. My style is obviously different than his, but he influenced me in this
way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">I
am currently working on another paranormal romance novel. It is dark and
gothic, much like ‘Blood and Milk’, but slightly more light-hearted. I have
another novel idea for after that as well. It will be the darkest of my
creations which is both exciting and frightening for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pretty basic questions. Let’s get a bit more personal. How much of Blood and

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Parts
of it are loosely based on life occurrences, such as some of the less extreme
experiences the characters have with bullies. What Maya see’s when she is out
at night in the town is very much real. That’s the scary part. And I know a
bunch of vampires who live together in a cellar. Just kidding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

quirks? Do you plot out your books or just freely write them and let the
characters tell you what to do next?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">I
always try to plan my books as best I can before writing them, but characters
have an amazing ability to change beneath your fingertips as you type. They
surprise me sometimes, and do the craziest things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

completely relevant, but many are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">At some point down the line I had
tried to walk through that forest again. I had tried to face those trees. They
stood tall, hanging over me, knowing the truth. The earth beneath my sodden
boots had tasted her blood, and so had the fallen leaves and overgrown grass.
Nature was a hushed spectator. The trees whispered words of judgment as I
passed by them. Gently, they moved together, watching me. I had felt their
presence that day as well. The day I found Jemma. The world had been silent
like the grave, holding its breath as it waited for me to find her. Nature
would judge me for loving Adrian. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">When I had found her lying there I
debated whether she was just sleeping. Her dead body lay there perfectly, like
someone lying in their coffin. Her hair was tainted red, but it was placed so
caringly on her shoulders. The white dress had been made presentable, just
passing her knees. Her hands were positioned on her stomach, one on top of the
other. My mind had discarded the wound on her neck, and the blood on her dress.
It was her fingers, and the missing nails. All ten fingers and thumbs rested on
her dress without nails. I just stood there, staring at her hands. I noticed
the blood underneath them, and so curiosity took over. Blankly and
mechanically, I had lifted her hands, cringing at how cold they felt.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">I screamed and threw myself away
from her, landing on my front as I attempted to turn away. My scream had ripped
through the silent air. It was too loud, so I covered my mouth. I twisted my
body around to check what I had seen was real. Seeing it again made me taste
vomit in my mouth. It burned in my throat. It was then I noticed the gaping
hole in her neck. This image was the beginning of so many tainted dreams.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">Those memories were vivid in my
mind as I walked there once more. I recalled phoning the police, and then
waiting for them. I had just stood there staring at her. The trees watched all
of this, and the wind gently wept.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">I could see her everywhere. Her
face appeared in the bark of the trees. The knots in the wood became her eyes.
Every branch on the ground was her listless body, still waiting to be found. A
supermarket bag became her dress, and the red leaves on the ground was a sea of
her blood. I swore I could still smell her rotting body. It mixed together with
the smells of nature, and cold air. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">The sleeping zombie still lay
slumbering in my mind, and I could see her everywhere I looked in the forest.
Her blood tainted my mind, while Adrian’s secret tainted my life. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%;">This sick reality was eating away
at my already fragile mind. Adrian’s blood was contaminated by sinful desires.
Those dreams of his blood falling into milk were a reality. Nicholas seen me as
the problem. He seen it as my milk was contaminating Adrian’s blood. Nicholas,
my antagonist. I hated him with ever inch of my body and soul. But I would keep
Adrian sane. He is my love. I was the prayer to his tainted dreams, even though
he was the cause of mine.</span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

</span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Where
to start? I am seriously at a loss for words to describe what I just read.
Nothing I could come up with could adequately capture the emotion Ms. Ryals has
wretched from me with these words. I have said it before, but R.K. Ryals is one
of the greatest storytellers I have ever read. The world she has created in the
Scribes of Medeisia universe is dark, fierce and beautiful. There is nothing
else like it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Stone
and Kye along with the other Rebels find themselves pushed to far this time.
The insanity of one King threatens all they love and believe in. If he wants a
war, they are ready to give it to him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">But
if they are going to have a fighting chance and the numbers to overtake the mad
King, they need allies. Powerful allies like the Sadeemians. Knowing that the
King of Medeisia is targeting them next, it is the best shot they have to
overthrowing the King. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the cruelty of the Ardus and the possibility that even if they survive the desert,
the King of Sadeemia could refuse to see them. Even still, it is the best
chance to set their people free from Raemon’s tyranny. So Stone, Kye, Lochlen,
Oran the wolf, and three other Rebels set off to do the impossible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

themselves within her pages is unlike any other I have ever encountered. It’s
breathtaking, heart-pounding and devastatingly beautiful. I would have never
thought anything could beat Mark of the Mage’s intensely addictive story, but
Tempest is the best yet. I adored it and if you are looking for a uniquely
haunting story of survival, this series is for you. Bravo, R.K.! I am
speechless at your talent and I am forever a fan.</span></div>

heartaches and wonder if love prevails all. Join us as we follow the story of
Siobhan and Blake as they battle through the trials and tribulations of two
very different worlds.<br />
<br />
Blake is an Elder Vampire, over four hundred years old, dark, mysterious, bold,
tall, and extremely gorgeous, as only a vampire such as he can be. Centuries of
feeling incomplete knowing there’s a part of him that is missing, part he
yearns to be complete. Never knowing he would find that in the oddest way. A
meeting with a gypsy fortune teller has him intrigued when she foretold of when
and where he could find his Queen.<br />
<br />
But he was warned there would be many brutal, obstacles to be overcome before
any kind of happy ever after could be accomplished, before his Queen and the
missing link to his soul, the woman whom would complete him would be safe in
his arms.<br />
<br />
Siobhan, pronounced (Ser-bi-on) is a beautiful young woman, an innocent, on
holiday with her friends when she unexpectedly meets a tall charismatic man who
completely and utterly sweeps her off her feet, she is drawn to him like a moth
to a flame. He's so sexually dominant, taking his time to initiate her, step by
slow step, patiently and completely to the carnal pleasures, her body could
feel. What only he could make her feel...<br />
<br />
But unbeknown to either of them, a dark and evil presence from Blake’s past has
been observing them, planning to shred their worlds apart, and sooner rather
than later. Siobhan is cruelly ripped from his embrace and is thrust into a
world beyond anything she has ever dreamt of or could ever have imagined
existed.<br />
<br />
Follow us as Blake has a battle with forces he’s not sure he can defeat, all to
bring home the one and only woman he would ever have, love and desire with all
that he is.<br />
<br />
Welcome to Innocence Lost.</span></span><br />

UnderWorld, Lore watched Lexington, watched him as he twirled the newest invite
between his long fingers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He stayed
silent, and looked over his shoulder as D’Angelo and Huang quietly entered and
took their places by his side. While the door had opened he could hear the
noise from the club, the heavy sensual beat of the music but once the door was
firmly shut the soundproofing kept the club from disturbing them. Only when the
two other males were sat did Lexington look up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Lexington is an Elder Vampire, over five hundred
years old, his body language demands respect from whoever meets him. He is a
huge male, standing at six feet five inches with his body, bulked built and he
is what every woman, be she human or other, desires. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Their panties getting wet by just a look in their
direction, their nipples screaming out for a touch, a lick or a nibble. His
slate grey eyes now fixed on his three bodyguards, his friends, the only ones
he would ever trust with his life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">“It is time.” His low gruff voice informed them, as
he placed the heavily embossed invite carefully, almost lovingly, down on his
antique desk. Watching for their reactions to the news he couldn’t help but let
a self satisfied grin appear. After all this time she would now be his, after
watching her, protecting her, staying in the shadows of her life, his female
was of age; and at long last be his for the taking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

months of pleasure, of initiating her into his world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">“Has her birth mark appeared yet?” D’Angelo
enquired, his voice gentled by his Italian heritage and many a foe had been
suckered into believing a wimp was behind such a voice, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">their </i>misfortune. Little did they know he used his voice as a
weapon, one of many in his arsenal. His long, muscled leg was draped elegantly
over the other, he was dressed with impeccable taste as he usually was, by his
favourite designer, Armani.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

angel, a Vampire he himself had made, related to the once kings of Italy his
ferocious good looks were the stuff legends were made of.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

But his fighting abilities were where his true talents lay, that and fucking.
Lexington’s mouth opened a wide grin as flashes of his angel’s sexual hungers
flashed through his mind. D’Angelo had insatiable appetites where both sexes
were concerned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">“Yes, it’s appeared just above her right ankle, she
tries now to cover it, with make up or stockings. I feel her uneasiness about
it. She wonders why it’s appeared, but the blood of her parentage flows
strongly through her and when I change her I have the feeling she will be a
force to reckoned with.” He picked up the invite again and grinned, almost
talking to himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Huang, Lexington’s Chinese Shifter bodyguard,
stayed silent, not that Lexington found that strange, Huang, was a male of very
few words and very rarely spoke. Trained as a Ninja, and as stereotypical as it
sounds, he was the silent and deadly male.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Lexington found him disgraced and discarded by his
family, who wanted no part of what he had been born as. Exceptionally tall, his
cropped black hair looked like a military buzz cut. His clothes were more for
the fighter in him, leather pants, shit kicker boots, long coats that hid all
his weapons of choice. The thing that stood out, that made everyone stop and
stare were his eyes. When he took off his dark glasses, they were the correct
slanted shape of his heritage, but they were startling sapphire blue and they
were the last thing people were expecting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

reason his family couldn’t and wouldn’t tolerate about him. Huang, watched,
listened, and found out all the facts before he would offer an opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">“Do you think she will accept not only you, but
your world?” Lore asked, his deep voice, still with a trace of his past in his
accent. His wild mane of dirty blond hair, something he had never managed to
get under control, gave away his Viking heritage, with his icy blue eyes,
strong chin and massive arms. He looked like some Norse God of old and acted
like one when it came to a good fight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ripped body guaranteed females stumbled over themselves whenever they saw him,
was swamping the leather chair he was sat in facing Lexington. The females
followed his every move, whenever he rode into town on his bike. There is a
menacing presence about him, him in black leathers and a bike that promised a
ride like no other and not just the bike kind of ride, but one you could get
from him. His weapon of choice his long sword was strapped to his back, made
for him by his father, still as sharp, still as deadly, he never went anywhere
without it. Lexi wondered if he took it bed with him when he fucked, he grinned
at the thought. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

up his shot glass and tipping the Cognac back, then letting his tongue stroke
one of his fangs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

seen.” He put the glass down and sat back, knowing the next few months would be
very interesting... </span><span style="color: #c0a154; font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Leary would have been content to stay in Kilcairy, Ireland, healing villagers
at her family’s clinic with a mix of magic and modern medicine. But a series of
ill-timed omens and a deathbed promise to her grandmother have sent her on a
quest to Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky, to secure her family’s magical potency for
the next generation. Her supernatural task? To unearth four artifacts hidden by
her grandfather before a rival magical family beats her to it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

before falling completely under his spell?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">Before
I begin this review, let me say that Molly Harper is my go to writer when I
really need a smile and a chuckle. Her snarky sense of humor is one of a kind
and it gets me every time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">A Witch's Handbook of Kisses & Curses is no exception. It is a heartfelt, feel good
paranormal romance that had me giggling to the end. With many twists and turns,
it was one I had to force myself to put down but that is no surprise to me. I
devour all of Molly’s books, normally in one sitting if pesky things like
dinner or sleep aren’t getting in the way. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">In
true Half Moon Hollow fashion, not everyone is what they seem. And when you get
a witch, some very snarky vampires, a centuries old supernatural feud and mix them
up in the Hollow? You get a very addictive, feel good read that is impossible
to put down!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Harper never disappoints and I hope to see more of Nola and Jed in the future! I
just adore Jane and the gang and this is one universe I will never get enough
of. If you haven't read this author, you are missing out on one of the best Paranormal Romance writers out there. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">One
corner of Kye’s lips quirked upward, his hand taking mine. He turned it over,
his fingers playing slowly across my palm. I should have pulled away, but I
didn’t. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">I
shook my head, my eyes on his fingers as they traced the lines of my hands. It
was a curious sensation, and warmth unfurled in the pit of my stomach, lighting
a fire that heated every corner of my body. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Kye’s
smile grew. “No, you keep us balanced. I keep the rebels fighting for freedom,
and you keep us all humble.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">I
forced my eyes away from my palm. How was I supposed to think when he was
drawing shapes like that on my skin? I tugged on my hand. Kye refused to let
go. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">It
wasn’t a question, and his boldness with my hand made me bold as well. I lifted
my free hand, reaching tentatively for his face. He watched me, his eyes alert,
his breathing stilled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">My
finger touched the scar on his temple, and he exhaled, his eyes closing. The
fingers he’d been drawing circles with on my palm froze. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Forgive
me…I need a moment to gather myself. Before I start this review, let me say I
am a hardcore Sci-Fi geek. From shows like Battlestar Galactica to books like Ender’s
Game by <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Orson Scott Card. Patagonia is
right up there with the best of them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Imagine
living your life in an endless hellish world and fighting to survive every day
just to wake up the next day and do it all again. This what Paige lives with every
day since the Invaders’ took over earth. In just seven days, the world had
changed and nothing would ever be the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Until
a conformation with other rogues and enters Fin; a beautiful boy that was
untouched by the unrelenting sun and dirt. With him, nothing will ever be the
same again. With him, Paige realizes that her world is not what it seems. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">I
am in awe by the amazing chemistry between Rue Volley and Madison Daniel. Each author
on their own are phenomenal artists but together, they are pure fire and nothing
short of extraordinary. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">From
page one, I was pulled into this dystopia unlike any other. With a jaw-dropping
ending that left me breathless, Patagonia is easily my new favorite Sci-Fi
series and I can’t wait for the next installment. Just an amazing read. Be on the lookout for it on May 18th!</span></div>

invisible to Untouched eyes, where demons rule the shadows and prey on the

those who are oblivious to the monsters hiding from the light.<br />

As a Silver Mortal Gracen has the power to send these demons back to Hell. With
the Silver Eagle's blood running through her veins she feels like nothing can
take her down. That is, until she meets a group of Night Vipers who have
escaped the Viper clan. <br />

Can Gracen keep doing her job of demon slaying and protect the rebel Vipers?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Wow.
What an amazingly addictive read! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Sixteen
year old, Gracen Potts isn’t your typical teenager. Don’t get me wrong, she has
the overbearing mother, the chatty and slightly easy best friend and absolutely
no idea when it comes to boys. In that area, sure she is your average teen just
trying to make it from day to day, but that is where the ordinary ends for her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">You
see, Gracen carries a secret and job to protect the innocent from the demonic scourge
that is threatening to take over her city. She is a Silver Mortal or a Touched
human; a purest of hearts human touched by divine power to uphold the
protection of humans from the evil of Hell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">But
when there is guardians of good, there is bound to be a darker counterpart,
Night Vipers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And like the Silver Mortals,
they hold immense supernatural power. So when a Viper stumbles into her life, needing her help, it is safe to say she is a little bit apprehensive. Especially when this Viper, makes her
feel so uncontrolled. When her mortal enemy, claims to want to change sides,
how can she be certain that this isn’t a trap? How can this Viper, Phoenix win
her trust? And what is it about him that she finds so irresistible?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">The entire book is one hell of a whirlwind of twists and turns that keep the reader’s attention completely. The heroine, Gracen is the perfect leading lady with her
kickassery and her ability to keep most people at bay. Jenna Kay’s style of
writing is impossible to put down and I literally can’t wait for book two! I think I
just found a new favorite series/writer!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Fifty
years after President Miller was assassinated and the second civil war ended,
life has resumed. The two classes, Blacks and Blues, have to wear bracelets to
identify one another and are not allowed to socialize with one another or they
will be put into the tower. William Moore is of the Black group and in charge
now. He only has one daughter that he has kept a secret. Now that Jamie has
just turned eighteen she won’t be a secret for long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">Jamie
Moore and her best friend Emily go to a club for her birthday. It isn’t the
kind of club her father would approve of. It is called the No B Club; because
you have to take off your identifying bracelets to get in. It’s a place where
you can mingle with the other class without the hassle. A man with a pierced eyebrow,
a lip ring and rich chocolate brown hair catches her eye and she is taken by
surprise; after a night together she hopes he wears a black bracelet as she
does.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: 18pt;">When
a new butler starts at the Moore’s residents, Jamie is told to stay in her
room, but the new butler calls her downstairs. When Jamie realizes it is her
Henry from the night before working as the butler, her heart is broken. She now
knows they can’t be together or her father would have him killed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
