On the lookout for a fun read ? One that puts Vampires into a different light ?
A book that reminds us what Vampires are supposed to be like ?
Review: The Vampire Underground- Book#1 Grisly Tales - Brian Rowe - April 2012
The novel starts off with a grandfather and his granddaughter stopping in their RV and then being attacked by what we can assume are Vampires. The story then flicks to the life of Brin and her friend Ash. They are about to start the new year and one of the classes they have signed up for his Intro to Film. It seems that their wonderful teacher is into the Art of Horror films which Ash loves , but for Brin this is the worst as she can't stand to get scared in movies . When the class are given their assignments , they have to film a short movie - Brin finds herself in a group with Anaya who will turn out to be her Arch-enemy in the tale. To make it authentic Anaya wants them to travel to a Ghost town. The group then travel to the Ghost town but little do they realise that the Ghost town is in fact a breeding ground for Vampires and not the type that are illustrated by Bill Compton or Edward Cullen but think Lost Boys. Can the group find their way out or will they become the feast of the Vampire Underground.
Reading the ending will want you to go out and buy Book #2 as Book #1 ended on a Cliffhanger which had the reader going OMG , I so want to find out what's going to happen with Brin.....
The Vampire Underground is a story for those who are wanting to find their way back to what "REAL" Vampire fiction is and not this upper-class Blue Bloods or Fashionista Vampires which are shown in most books nowadays following the Twilight Trend. Though to clarify myself , This is in no way saying that I don't enjoy Twilight or the trend it brung as I love those stories as well - maybe even more than the "REAL" Vampire tales.

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 - 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...
