Kiss of Death - PD Martin

-

Vampires , we all in some way enjoy them -well most of us anyway. Whether it be through Twilight with Edward and Bella or even Vampire Diaries with the lovely Stefan and cute brother Damon. Or are you a fan of Underworld Trilogy or Blade . or do you prefer the original Interview with a Vampire and Classic Lost Boys . Are you even a fan of the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood series , what about a Vampire PI with Moonlight and the handsome Mick St.John. Wherever we look , our world be it tv. movies or even books are going through a Vampire craze as whether the authors and public like to admit it or not , that is what is selling millions of copies of books.

So it is not uncommon , that even our myster" novels have decided to use the spin of Vampires throughout their plot. Today's review is from one of my favourite mystery authors known only as PD Martin. PD Martin hails from Australia , which is across the ditch from lil ol NZ. Her books have been described as "Silence of the Lambs meets Medium". A Movie and a TV Series that I love (I own all 4 seasons of Medium on DVD and have the 5th on Pre-order).

Kiss of Death - PD Martin -2010

"Soon I hear the footsteps again. Definitely more than one set. I push myself harder, run harder. I glance back, hoping they’re further away than they sound. But they’re closer. Suddenly I come to an abrupt stop, slamming into something. I fall backwards and look up. His face is in shadows, but I can see glistening white teeth as he smiles"

Kiss of Death starts like the majority of PD Martin's with FBI Profiler Sophie Anderson having a Medium moment , where she dreams of an incident that may or may not have happened exactly like her dream. However like Medium , her dreams are not known to everyone. Falling asleep to Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Sophie has Vampires on her mind and shrugs her dream to too much Buffy and Angel marathons. Unbeknownst to her , the next morning she is called to a crime scene -the vic has two little punctures in her next -that slightly resemble foul play of Fangs . Is this just a straightforward murder case or is it about to spark rumours that Vampires are living in LA ? . Now Sophie with a list of suspects must go undercover into the Vampire scene specifically a group called After Dark whom believe they are really Vampires. Their leader Anton Ward is a hottie and Sophie is drawn to him , can Sophie prove his innocence or guiltiness and not let her feelings cloud her judgement and what about Darren ? . Is this the moment that Sophie has been given to look over her relationships and is Darren the guy she is supposed to be ?. For an excellent story of murder , mystery, vampires and a hint of romance , try Kiss of Death. Excellent for fans of the TV Show Medium as I found a few similarities between the show and underlining storyline.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
