The Vampire's Curse

The Vampire's Curse

                                 by: S.J. Wright

Sarah Wood, after witnessing a battle between several powerful vampires on her land, is left stunned and feeling immensely guilty for having given permission for her friend, Alex, to be turned into a vampire rather than allowing him to die from his injuries. And though she tried hard to keep her sister, Katie from knowing about the whole vampire situation at their family Inn in the wooded hills of southern Indiana, Katie became the victim of a kidnapping herself.

*****************************************************

          After the battle between some vampires, Alex was harmed and it was really grave... and the decision rested in Sarah hands... and she decided to not let him die and turn him into a vampire. Again. Alex being as a vampire is realy dangerous. He's even more powerful than Michael, Golden boy as Michael called him, indeed he is as he has a different power that has to do with light, energy and the new one fire. They don't know if Alex is a bad one now, if her sister will be a vampire but she does knows and so does Michael that they are in love. What will happen with Sarah's life? With her sister and Alex? and worst of all does Michael has to die for her?....

Facts:

-> "The Breath-Giver gave Alex his humanity back, but she also gave him something else. When Michael and Victoria drained him completely, what they didn't know was that he couldn't be killed. He didn't need to be resurrected. He is a Guardian. Breath-Giver is a Seraph. An angel, fairy. She chos Alex for Sarah. When Michael turned him she was furious. She was the one who incluenced the Council to punish him. What she didn't count on was him being sent here. And as Michael and Victoria gave him (Alex) their blood now she is a Guardian angel vampire who can never be killed or repelled."

->Vampire venom helps you to recover.

->Michael has been locked up for 65 years.

-> A lil' more about Michael: As a human he was born in a small Greek ( AWESOME) village in 1659. Technically he is over three hundred fifty years old. When he was turned he was twenty-seven years old.

-> What about the light killing vampires or such? Well some vampires like Michael are capable of doing so but as it is very uncomfortable so vampires use crystals to ward off the pain. The cristal that Michael has is a small red stone given by Victoria.

Characters:

1) Victoria-> As a vampire: She is small slender woman. The first time Sarah meet her she was dressed in a simple dark gown that fell to her ankles and her hair was twisted back into a severe knot at the base of the skull. Her power is to read minds or see thoughts the person's having... what I mean is that sometimes is not like reading just some parts of it.

As a human: Michael is the one who turned her. He had been told that he was going to change a woman into a vampire by a seer that he too turned into a vampire. The very next after he arranged things with Meekah he saw her; Victoria and saw that she suffer so a few days later he turned her into a vampire and she became a unfailing loyal vampire friend.

2) Meekah-> As a human: She was a seer and she's African. She barely spoked English at all but it was a intelligent woman Vampire: As she was a seer, when she became one her visions drived her mad as it was more clearly than before and since then she hated herself, and so Michael.

3) Aiden Jones/ Captain-> As a human: He had been a captain in the English Navy back in the middle of the 18th century. He had been turned by a malevolent female vampire while crossing th English Channel to France in 1783. Her name was Amanda Wiston. Michael had found Jones washed up on the rocky shore north of Calais, almost completely drained of blood and half dead from lying out in the sun for three days. He is about seven feet tall, had the muscles of a gladiator and had red hair and drinking capacity of a Isishman, though he adamantly claimed to be a English born.

*They have in common: (Michael and Jones) that he was enamored with French impressionist art and loose women. They had spent three years as captain and first mate aboard a pirate ship in the Caribbean.

*And as he saw when Michael turned Alex he too is one of the vampires in the custody.

4) Isaiah-> Powerful vampire, tall with a violntly victorious expression shining in his eyes.

5) Theodora/Teddy ( weird as Theodora's are called Theo but I love Teddy too! <3) She is a elderly lady with stylishly cut silver hair, with a italian accent and her eyes were black as ink.

                                                                               5/5

                                                              CAN'T wait for book three!!!!!!!!!

I still wonder why Victoria called brother to Alex.*****

The Vampire's Warden

The Vampire's Warden
                                     by: S.J. Wright

It was a flash in the moonlight, a blur of motion like I'd never witnessed before. No human had the capacity to move like that. When I found myself face-to-face with him there in the meadow, I knew without a doubt that the journal was authentic. I knew that my grandfather hadn't been crazy at all.

Because a foot away from me stood a vampire.


Sarah Wood reads her grandfather's journal in stunned disbelief. What was once her grandfather's responsibility has passed to her father and now to her. She has become the Warden. Her life will never be the same
***************************************************

After Sarah's father died, her life was not the same. Not only because she had to deal with her emotions as her dad was dead and she was a strong person, but that her mother too was not with her not with her sister, because she left them; but also because there are more things to do in the Inn than keep things tidy. She's a vampire warden and most decide to believe if vampires exist; and then when she accepts they are she doesn't know whom to trust. As even Nelly knew everything about her mother not being dead and the thing about vampires. What will happen with her mother? What does she wants? What will happen with hottish Michael?... find out the truth as I'm doing while reading Sarah's point of view in this really good novella!

Characters :

1) Sarah Brightman-> She's twenty three years old and she loves in Brown County, Indiana. Very eyes are a usually pale blue shade, she has long dark eyelashes, decent eyebrows that matched her light brown hair. Her hair fell to the middle of her back. She has two horses named Lenny and Messenger. She has a connection with Messenger... I think as this one in particular was buyed for her.
*Lenny-> Hug chesnut horse.
*Messenger-> A smaller black mare with velvety soft ears.
*Also she has a dog named: Sadie-> A Golden Retriever with brown eyes and wavy tail. ( A girl)
*And a cat *-* named: Whiskers-> I think it was black.

2) Katie-> She's the younger sister of Sarah. She has curly brown hair her eyes were warm and brown as their father's were and her hair fell across her shoulder.

3) Alex-> As a human: Beautiful golden hair and a chalky white skin. His eyes are green . His body was well formed.
As a vampire-> His golden hair is more shiny and his eyes are too bright to be normal..
He was granted the wish to become human again BUT because of a battle he needed to be change again into a vampire or be dead.
*Eveytime he touches Sarah or Sarah touches him she has a vision but he only feels it. Why? I don't know .... yet!

4) Michael-> He is all muscles, viceps. Dark eyebrows but with pale blue yes and a hard-looking mouth. He was created by the oldest vampire on earth. But not only did he inherit the powers of the old one, but he also developed some of his own powers. He doesn't need that much blood.

5) The Breath-Giver->  She can grant a wish like the one that Alex wanted. The thing is Selena told Alex that The Breath-Giver would make him human if he took care of Sarah...

6) Selena-> She's the mother of Sarah and Katie. She asked to be a vampire as she didn't like her human life. The perfection of her skin, with vibrant shiny blue eyes and a shapely pink mouth.

Short story of how the warden and the place was made:

" The first vampire warden had been a Pawnee ancestor of her who had an encounter with a vampire. The vampire had lived for centuries wandring the Earth and wanted find a safe place to rest. The tribe's medicine man called upon th pofer of Tiraw, the creation God, to create a sacred place where the vampir could rest. The ceremony was performed in song and dance around a sacred mdicine bundle. When it was over the vampire dug himself down into the Earth for the "long sleep". When the vampire aoke, he found that he could not leave. The medicine man explained that the vampire's warden must approve before th vampire could set off again. There was a magical field of energy around the sacred resting place. No vampire could come in or leave without the consent of the Warden."

5/5!

REVIEW, INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY WITH CASSIEL KNIGHT/ BOOK: KEY OF SOLOMON

REVIEW, INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY WITH CASSIEL KNIGHT/ BOOK: KEY OF SOLOMON (book 1 )

Trust no one…except the one who walks in the dark.



Relic Defender, Book 1

Anthropology PhD candidate Lexi Harrison never bares it all when she belly dances for a strip club crowd. She doesn’t have to—she’s that good. Every performance earns money toward her degree, and restores the sense of power that her painful childhood ripped away.

Something is different about tonight. A man whose silver gaze seems to touch her skin beneath her veils. When a rowdy customer crosses the line, he comes to her rescue with the speed of a falcon—complete with wings.

Mikos Tyomni has never seen anyone dance the raqs sharqi like Lexi. Trust his tormentor, Archangel Michael, to put him in close contact with the cause of his downfall: a mortal woman. Particularly this mortal woman. The Defender. He has only thirty days to win her trust before Hell’s deadliest demons attempt the mother of all prison breaks.

No matter how sexy the messenger is, Lexi’s career plans don’t include some crazy idea that she’s the last line of defense against the forces of evil. Until her university mentor’s murder leaves her holding the key to Hell. And fighting a losing battle against a passion with the unholy power to bring down Heaven…

Warning: This title contains a dark and sexy fallen angel, bad-ass demons, a heroine with kick-assitude tossed together with mythology, archeology and a shape-shifting rock with a fondness for the gangsters of the 1920s.

****************************************************************
 What would happen if it was in your hands to save the world? What would your answer when you have no family and they ask you to believe in God when he didn't helped your family? Would you still believe in God? Or would you be like our heroine, Lexi, in doubt? I have to say that one of the things I liked was that I trully understand what lexi was feeling. I felt her suffer that she was all alone and how a woman can sometimes well be like a flower when you have to work in a place full of jerks, when you don't know whom to trust and when they tell you you are the one to save the world. Lexi, a belly dancer captives our ...(oh God!) sexy Mikos, a beautiful, sexy, h- ok sorry, fallen angel who has a mission that could help him to earn his ticket to go back to heaven. But after meeting Lexi... will he decide to go back to heaven or to stay with her?...................

LOVED ITTTTTTT!
***************************************************************

INTERVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!

Interview:

1) What made you choose to write about angels and demons...and such?

I wanted to write something different then the market was selling. I never really found vampires sexy and I certainly didn’t werewolves (I’ve changed my mind a little), and I’d always loved the idea of angels. Like many, I’d grown up thinking of angels as beautiful beings decked in white with blue eyes and golden hair. While I wasn’t opposed to that, I still wanted something different. I wish I could remember when I fell on the idea of fallen angels. It was probably from something I researched but once I had the idea, and later learned that the stories go that God wouldn’t let them back into Heaven no matter what, Mikos and his story was born. Lexi went through several “career” fields before I settled on archeology and the reason for that is simple. I love reading and studying the past. Finally, I discovered the legends of King Solomon and the fact he was supposed to be a magic user and had a ring given to him by God that allowed Solomon to control and compel demons. I took all this and mixed it with a big spoon and ta-da! Key of Solomon.

2) As we know out heroine, Lexi, is the one that has a destiny that is to save us or doomed us... in real life do you believe there's someone like her, you know with the saving the world?
Oh, I wish I did. That's part of the fantasy of writing fiction. That we can make up stories where good triumphs over evil and the world can be fixed by a few good people. I think the reality is much harder and it will take far more than one person to fix the world. I think there are some wonderful people in the world who serve the same purpose and do their part to save the world but wouldn't it be nice for one person to fix everything? Lexi didn't even get to do that but she did prevent the bad-ass demon from getting what he needed to release a Hell on Earth. That's the fun in writing.


3) You don't really have to answer this question but, do you believe in angels and demons? And if so... any experience?
I do believe in them but I don't have any experiences to share I can point to that says they are real. I just believe they are. Or maybe, for angels in particular, I just want to believe in the beings of light and goodness. For demons, well, with one you have to have the other but I sure wouldn't want to meet any.


4) For now, how many books are you planning to write related to this serie? Because for what I understood there's a new adventure lurking in there with out another heroine Mari and the cute Jackson! but I wonder, are our pretty couple, Lexi and the HOTTISH Mikos are going to be with them?

For now, I have three. I think there could be room for more but I'll have to finish book 3 and see. I've thought about a 4th book that wraps up Lexi and Mikos's story. Book 2 is coming out in August with Mari and Jackson and Book 3 in 2013 with Ash and Kat. You'll get to see Lexi and Mikos on 2 and 3 but they take a backseat to the others. Unless I do another story just for them again. Lexi can be frustrating but I love her and of course, Mikos is just too delicious. :-D


5) Besides the angels and such, what made you put Egypt stuff in the story? I love it xD!
I love all things Egypt and wanted to play with some of the history. I originally thought I'd use more in it but didn't. I might have to revisit Egyptian for book 3. I'm currently submitting a series about the half immortal children of Egyptian gods and goddesses so in this one, I really got to play with Egyptian stuff even to setting part of the story in Egypt.


Now some FAST random questions!


1) Chocolate or vanilla? Or...mhh both like the skin of out hottish Mikos hehehe.

Well, as much as Mikos' skin sounds yummy, I do have to say I'm a vanilla kinda gal.


2) Do you prefer watching movies in your house, movie theatre, both or any?!
Actually, it depends on the movie. I love going to the movies but obviously can't afford to see all of them on the big screen so my husband and I go to the theater to watch action-packed movies and say the romances for rental at home.

3) What's your favorite book and movie?
I have a favorite series - that's the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. I love all of them. I don't really have a favorite movie but I love all the sci fi/fantasy movies that star Mila Jovich.

4) If you could go back in time, what era would you like to be?

If I could get past the lack of cleanliness, then it would be medieval. :D

Demon Slut (WARNING NOT FOR MINORS OF 18 YEARS OLD)

Demon Slut
                  by: Jacqueline Ryan
Christina goes to confession to satisfy her mother. She's home from her first semester of college, and she has nasty sex sins to confess. Fr. Carlos thinks she's a demon slut sent from the devil. She needs to be disciplined

EXCERPT:
She started to move toward the kneeler. "Wait; not yet," he said. He liked to see such quick obedience. Maybe Christina wasn't lost yet, if he disciplined her now. "Take off your jeans first." His cock throbbed at the thought of how he'd reconcile her to God. He could hardly wait to plunge it balls deep into that succulent little body, still showing no external signs of the evil eating away at her soul.

She stood up again. She kicked off her shoes, and then unzipped her jeans.
She wriggled back and forth and pushed her tight jeans over her hips. He couldn't wait to see her naked, to see if she was really so unscathed by her evil deeds. When she finally eased the pants over her round butt, he saw she was wearing a tiny black thong like the demon slut she was. The thong was so small he could see she had shaved her pussy. The string disappeared into the deep crack between the firm cheeks of her ass.

"And now your sweater." She took off the sweater. He was happy with her compliance. It showed a repentant spirit. "You can keep the bra." Its cups barely covered her hard nipples. "Now, kneel again. Say an Act of Contrition."

She began a rote murmur. His excitement built now that she was stripped and ready. "I'm going to mortify your flesh, demon slut. Keep praying for forgiveness."

***********************************************

 Christina was home for Christmas her first year of college. The think was if she didn't received th Holy Communion at Christmas her mother would never leave her alone so she had to go to confession. She was feeling a little guilty about the fact that she had sex with 6 guys at the same time... and she didn't knew how to confess that without feeling THAT guilty. But to her surprise Fr. Carlos, a hottish priest, had a plan to her as he thought ( in my opinion for not feeling guilty when he fuck her.) she was a demon slut sent by the devil and that he had to correct that...


Characters:

Christina-> She has eighteen with long legs and full lips. She had a tiny black thong.
Fr. Carlos-> He was her father's age. He had smoldering black eyes and full sensual lips. He knew Christina since she was a baby.

Shiva is five feet and five inches tall, with shoulder-lenght copper hair with huge innocent-looking doe eyes and a slender form.

The Gossamer Gate

The Gossamer Gate
                               by: Wendy L. Callahan

Goodreads review:

Nine years ago, Khiara committed a grave offense against the fae, a crime for which she is destined to pay the price. When a faerie prince intent on revenge returns to seek retribution against her, she is pulled into the Otherworld against her will. She is given a quest: she has nine days to locate the gate that will allow her to return to the mortal world.

But the laws of the capricious fae are calculated to work against mortals and keep them trapped forever in their realm. There is temptation at every turn, and even if Khiara does not give in, there is still a chance that the devious prince will go back on his word.

For the fae may change the rules of the game on a whim, and the prince has already set a seemingly impossible condition on Khiara's quest for freedom...

**************************************************
My review:

          Our young, twenty-five years old,  High Priestess to a coven named Khiara, thought that love; the only thing that she didn't have in her almost "perfect life", was her only problem so far. But it has been almost nine years from an accident that she certainly doesn't want to remember... but her wicca studies numbers have meanings and they don't believe in coinsidences...  She feels worst everytime she wakes up after a horrible nightmares and also she feels as if someone is watching her. Worst thing, after another friday of game she decides to give it a try with her best friend and her love, to say how much he loves him and since when... only to discover that Sean doesn't loves her back the same way she does. He has come back and she's gone.
**************************************************

Characters, places, types of fairies and such: ( some spoilers)

1) Khiara -> Her name in italian is Key-ara. Because of the accident, she came to live with her Nana, her grandmother whom also was a wiccan. She's twenty-five and is a High Priestess to a coven and she's very talented. Another facts that I like?:
-She likes to read.
-She even wrote books.
-She likes ANIME! hell yeah
How she looks: She has hazel eyes that most of the time a shade of gold, with dark honey blonde hair. Imagin her skin is like a soft tan, vanilla haha. And tall with a curvy shape and she does have boobs that can be notice.
Something that shocked me was that she's half fae, The Cat Sidhe.
She can also control a little the element of fire.

2) Liam-> He is a fae, type: Bard. Bards tell stories. But he is not any normal Bard he is a bard to the Queen Titania herself and also his the younger brother of our Ronan and son too of Oberon.
How he looks:
 He is about five inches taller than Khiara, with short dark hair cut close to his head, his eyes are a chestnut shade of brown and had a tattoo on his chest and he wore a forest green tunic.

3) Ronan-> He was a fae, used the element of earth. He was the one that wanted to have Khiara by force! the one chasing her. He's dead! YES!
How he looked: 
 He was tall and thin, black hair with blue eyes very piercing and round face; he was dressed all in black.
*He had at the same time a wife. She helped Khiara. She looks like: She's a fae with blue eyes with pale blonde hair nearly silver.

4) The Queen of the Faeries-> Also known as Queen Titania. She has the energy of the elements: earth, air, watera and fire, darkness and light. She's more light than darkness.
How she looks:
 She has strawberry blonde curls with lavender eyes and had a silver crown.

5) Oberon-> The Queen's consort. He has the same energy as Ronan. Dark energy.
How he looks:
 Dark wavy hair with sea-green eyes; somehow like Ronan.

6) Sean-> Khiara's best friend, the one that could save her. They share a lot in common. And he did a degree in Art.
How he looks:
 Brown eyes and tousled brown hair.

Fearies:
-> Bards= They tell stories.
-> Undine= Water spirits. Was tall and voluptuos, her hair was a shade of silvery-blue with seaweed. They need a man to love them to have a soul, without that they are souless.
-> Red Cap= They like to kill mortal travelers and they are very little but very, very fast.
-> Gancanagh= This faeries seduces mortal woman and then they leave her with a broken heart to die

My favorite places:

1)The Queen's palace-> Was a shimmering, rough rock that looked like densely-packed quartz crystals. On the foremost tower was an enormous clock with a sepia-toned face amd three large black hands that reminded her of wrought iron.

2)Liam's House-> The house was built with rich red brick, reflective of the fire magick of the land but also white columns and trim that illuminated the effect. It also has a white pebbl walk with white flowers and roses.

3) Nana's House, Khiera's house and now to the next High Priestess-> Is a victorian house! It was pale gray, with white trim and slate gray shingles on the roof. She even had her own shop in there and also gave classes to others.

Asha

Asha

       by: Kevis Hendrickson

Asha is a 15-year old girl with the soul of a demon. She plans to wage war against heaven and hell using humanity as her main weapon. Asha begins the epic tale of the revenge of the dark goddess of demons!

****************************************

    Asha, because of a challenge, she had to become a human and also she wanted to prove herself worthy... besides she has a plan. Asha that witnessed the drowning of Atlantis, that saw the rising of the tower of Babel as each stone of its foundation was set upon the next, ever ascending, reaching toward heaven itself; she who saw the birth of the ancient pyramids, the death of Julius Caesar, the ris of the Christ-God! and even the sunset of her own religion. For she, Asha, is the eternal mother of night and wielder of th Black-Flame. In her human life, the human father of Asha is dead, she even said in one part that it was because of her ... I wonder? Other problem was, besides she being what we say " a nerd" she didn't talked to anyone and she was a colour person ( in this book we can see the problem of people being racist!) When she is circled by a group of freaking racist she decides to pay them, making them suffer with images of their death with every detail possible... only that one of them didn't suffer. A beautiful youn woman with cropped raven hair, in other words a gothic witch, who could defend herself from th magic that Asha did to all the person of the group in their minds. Later on, the same girl decided to pay a visit to Aisha as she knows she was the one that killed the cheeleader and that she knew she was different. As Asha and Morgan get to know each other... by kissing and such (LOL) the journey begans as she knows the time is closer to rule the world.

5/5!

Characters:

1) Asha Jones-> Also known as Cerridwen, goddess of death and rebirth, the eternal mother of night and wielder of th Black-Flame. Her human form is nut-brown complexion of her face, ochre-green eyes and long braided black hair. She killed the cheerleader Amber Jacobi; Asha was a cheerleader too and a really good one.She is fifteen in her human life. She's a demon and she was awaken when other demons started to eat her human body.

2) Amber Jacobi-> Was two years Asha's elder, and one of the mos popular seniors at Filmore High School. She was beautiful, with long blonde hair that fell to her hips, amber eyes that shone like liquid gold, soft red lips, curvaceous, yet slender and too sassy.

3) Morgana Le Guin-> She is pale as the snow, her eyes strikingly blue like the richest sapphire, shoulder-lenght hair dark as the night and some tresses dyed the color of flame; her lips were blood-red and pierced by a triplet of rings. She is a witch and is very good at protecting her mind. She's gothic. <3



Review: Vampire Hunt ( book number 3 of Kiera Hudson Series) INTERVIEW with Tim O'Rourke and GIVEAWAY.

Vampire Hunt
                      by Tim O'Rourke


In search of Kayla and on the run, Kiera and her friends make a race against time across the Cumbria Mountains. With the vampires predicting their every move, the trust amongst Kiera and her friends starts to fade.

From the desolate monastery set high between the mountains, the mysterious lake and the caves beneath the fountain, Kiera must discover the connection between the vampires and her mother, Isidor and Kayla, and resolve her inner feelings for Potter and Luke.

Kiera herself has started to change and this frightens her. So turning to her friends for help, she realises that it is only her mother who can provide the truth. But Kiera has other questions that she needs to have answered. Why did Isidor murder an innocent girl? Who is the person that Murphy has been meeting in secret? But above all, why have they put their lives and trust in the hands of a serial killer?


****************************************************
 Spoilers:


-> Hiding from cops, vampyrus and vampires, Kiera, Luke, Potter and *sniff* Muryphy, must keep looking for Kayla. As they are having bad times, the trust between them is fiding, and even me (reader) was confused at some point, 'cause I didn't knew whom to trust! Good thing is she's not bleeding anymore when she has visions. But now that she knows she's a Half Vampyrus and Half Human, Isidor and Kiera had together a dream: "She's being kept in the darkened room at the end of a long corridor. She's in a bed and calling out for us to help her."


Even worst. Kiera doesn't know why her mother is in the news with Phillips. Is it Murphy the one betraying them? Who's the one that he talks to? ... Lycans... and she's having another dream were her mother offers her a bloody meat and she has to eat that....


The story of the Lycanthtope:


"They've been around for centuries. They are what we would nowadays call serial killers- because that's what they were. Although they were human back then, they had the power of putting you into a trance with just one stare. That's how they overcome their victims before ripping them to pieces- leaving them butchered and half-eaten. But worse than that, they stole children."


"Children?" I asked. "Why?"


" They believed that the purity of a child's heart would give them unnaturally long lives, and some even believed immortality. But the speel wouldn't work unless the children were offered to them by the mothers to take. But what mother would just hand over her child? So they would creep into their homes in the dead of night, and waking the mothers and placing them into a trance with their stare, they would trick them into handing over their children. It wasn't until one night that one of these killers was stumbled upon by the chance as he fled the home of a distraught mother. She had come out of her trance too early and raised the alarm. The Lycanthrope were hunted down by the men of the village and murdered. But myth and legend has it that they were turned away in death by God because of the horrendous crimes they had commited and he cursed them with a divin punishment. He sent them back to Earth, each of thm with a raging thirst as he was so angry with them, he wouldn't give them not even one drop of water. He told them that to quench their thirsts they had to drink the rainwater from th first animal footprint that they came across. It was a wolf's footprint swollen with rainwater that they drank from. Lik they had tricked all those mothers before, thy too had been deceived. For what thy hadn't ben told, was that whatver animal's footprint they drank from, they would spent the rest of eternity walking the Earth half-human and half that animal- and in their cas- wolves."

          Isidor story:

" My mother and father are Lady and Lord Hunt just like Kayla's. As far as I've been told, my mother had a terrible tim carrying me as an unborn child. She was sick constantly and spent most of her time in bed at Hallowed Manor"........"So one day, when my mother was scraming in pain, they gave her a sedative to calm her, and Doc Ravenwood used that x-ray-thingy to take a peek at me inside of her"
.." Anyway, what they saw terrified my father, for even as a fetus I had my wings. Nothing like this had ever been seen before. Most half-brds didn't start their change until adolescence and as we know, that change killed them. But there I was, inside my mother's womb, already looking like a Vampyrus.

* Also it was this traitor Sparky that told Isidor that his "mom" was actually his aunt.


          Fountain of Souls:

" The Vampyrus believe that it is God taking back the blood shed by the Lycanthrope. Absorbing the pain of the Lycanthrope's victims"..... ( the water is red)

* When Kira was so scared when the Lycans were coming and when she was in the water, she thought it was someone who had save her... but it was her wings. (page 2217 in ebooks *-*)

Where the Lycans lived it was in a mountain and their houses looked like red rocks and also there were two different things... they were glaciers! and the Lycan Seth and they call them Twins and they don't melt.

..... Now for the most HORRIBLE thing ever:

" Phillips sprang forward and drove his fist into Murphy's chest. In one quick and fluid movement, Phillips had yanked his fist put again and was holding Murphy's heart between his fingers. It was so sudden and so quick, that Murphy glanced down at the gaping hole in his chest, then in shock he stared at his heart which still pumped even though Phillip clenched it in his fist."

Sorry for cursing but... FUCK YOU PHILLIP! ;) much better.

********************************************
The last page: " Closing my eyes, I lunged forward and sunk my teeth into the flesh that dripped from between her fingers.." Nooooooooooooo!
********************************************

Characters:

Jack Seth-> Lycan. He was around seven feet tall. His face had many white scars and his jaw line was covered in untidy-looking whiskers, his jet-black eyebrows met at the bridge of his long, crooking nose. His ears were st too low on each sid of his face, tucked just bhind his jaw and he was unnaturally thin.

Eloisa-> The lover of Seth. Her hair was white-blond and hung down over her shoulders. She was tin but had a good figure. Her eyes were bright yellow with two black slits for pupils, and her lips were full and blood red.


Sparky-> Yes we know our pizza face traitor but he's a lycan as well...

5/5! LOVED IT.

          Interview with Tim O' Rourke

1) What do you prefer, vampires or werewolves? And why?

I think I prefer Vampires. I like the whole idea that they are immortal. Vampires are mostly beautiful too - so that helps. I do like werewolves. I like the whole shapeshift thing that they do. Wolves are beautiful creatures and very graceful so I think that Vampires and Werewolves compliment each other very well.





2) Is there any other new creature that you are going to add in this series? 'Cause you took me by surprise with the werewolves in book #3.

I won't be introducing any new creatures into this series - but Kiera will go on to have further adventures in a new series that will be coming out next year. I don't want to give too much away but I'll be doing a different take on zombies - so that should be a lot of fun. Kiera and zombies - I'm already looking forward to writing it.

(ME) I SO want to see Kiera and zombies!

3) Can you tell us something in the coming soon book 4? And of course do you have the day when it's going to sold?

We learn a lot more about the invisible man that everyone talks about and I introduce some new characters. 

The book will be out on the 10th of December 2011 which will be followed by book five "Vampire Hollows" in January 2012.
