Are you a fan of Melissa Marr's books ? Have you read her Wicked Series or her new release Graveminder ?  Today's book is her novella "Two Lines".
Two Lines
Review: Two Lines - Melissa Marr - August 2011
A quick read for those fans of Melissa Marr's supernatural books and written for the adult audience rather than the teen like her Wicked series and Graveminder.
Two lines takes us into the world of Eavan aka Eve and her nightly excursions of stalking drug dealer Daniel Brennan. He has a drug that turns girls into Zombies and then he sells them - the girls not the drugs on the black market. He is one of the biggest providers in not only drugs but human trafficking. Eve finds it her job to save these girls and she delivers them to her friend Muriel - whose a Vampire , the girls then have two options depending on their state and how they live their lives whether they live or not as Muriel needs her fix somehow. However, Eve has a secret - she is in fact a glaistag and in order to finish the transition she needs to kill and have sex preferably with the same person but not nessecarily. She has however, used strong self-control to keep her glaistag away and stay human-mortal. This part reminded me of the Lockwood curse on the Vampire Diaries as in order for the Lockwoods to turn into Werewolves they had to kill somebody and only then would the curse come into place otherwise they would remain mortal. Will Eve capture and put Daniel to rest when she discovers the secret ingredient in his drugs ? Will Eve remain mortal or be turned into a glaistag ?
A nice quick read by Melissa Marr.

    This was truly an entertaining and different read. Being a big fan of urban fantasy, I had no problem getting into the heart of the story and it was definitely worth it. The story takes place in a small town called Claysville where a young Rebekkah has returned after the death of her grandmother. There she discovers that things are not what they seem and that her grandmother had an important role in the town. Now, Rebekkah must take her place and in doing so, discovers another world that she was not aware existed.

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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
