Review: 13 to Life: A Werewolf’s Tale

13 to Life is that rare novel that captures your attention from the first page to the last and leaves you flipping the last page repeatedly looking for more words. It is a sinking feeling in your stomach when you realize there are no more words and you have to wait for the next book. Splendidly, there is a second book in the works! So that is something to look forward too. The Author Shannon Delany is a charming woman that I made the acquaintance over the Winchester brothers. Yes, I hooked her on Supernatural and I am proud of […]

Mr. Darcy, Vampyre

In Sunday’s Snips and Clips I mentioned picking up Mr. Darcy, Vampyre and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I have always been a firm believer in don’t knock it until you tried it. So I started reading Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange and it was slow going at first. Pride and Prejudice: The Dark Sequel The novel is based on the premise that Fitzwilliam Darcy, the hero of Pride and Prejudice is also a vampyre. That’s obvious from the title. The book begins with Elizabeth Bennett’s wedding to Mr. Darcy a joint venture as her sister Jane is marrying […]
