BLB Tour: Darkhouse by Karina Halle

Image
Darkhouse  by Karina Halle Paperback, 323 pages Published May 1st 2011 by Metal Blonde Books ISBN: 9781461079859 There’s always been something a bit off about Perry Palomino. Though she’s been dealing with a quarter-life crisis and post-college syndrome like any other twenty-something, she’s still not what you would call “ordinary.” For one thing, there’s her past which she likes to pretend never happened, and then there’s the fact that she sees ghosts. Luckily for her, that all comes in handy when she stumbles across Dex Foray, an eccentric producer for an upcoming webcast on ghost hunters. Even though the show’s budget is non-existent and Dex himself is a maddening enigma, Perry is instantly drawn into a world that both threatens her life and seduces her with a sense of importance. Her uncle’s haunted lighthouse provides the perfect catalyst and backdrop for a mystery that unravels the threads of Perry’s fragile sanity and causes her to fall for a man, who, like the mos...

Teaser Tuesdays (July 12, 2011)

Image
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B at ShouldBeReading where you randomly take two lines from your current read (spoiler-free) and highlight them in a post. This week's tease is from the contemporary YA novel Playing Hurt by Holly Schindler. "I actually start to feel a warmth break out under my rib cage. And just as I begin to realize that the warmth is actually hope --hope that Dad might actually be doing something thoughtful, that he might be giving me something I'd enjoy, like we were still the old friends we used to be before the accident--he says, "We spent a lot of money on this graduation gift of yours. I didn't want you to have to waste it sitting on a cabin porch." Blurb: Star basketball player Chelsea "Nitro" Keyes had the promise of a full ride to college-and everyone's admiration in her hometown. But everything changed senior year, when she took a horrible fall during a game. Now a metal plate holds her together a...

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

Image
Format: Kindle Edition File Size: 155 KB Blurb: 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 Brightman 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. Our review: Sarah is the oldest of two and after her father's death has to carry the responsibilities of running the family inn. At twenty three she is already older and wiser than others her age. Her younger sister, Katie, is away at college and Nelly, family caretaker and substitute mother figure, helps Sarah run the bed and breakfast. When the story opens, Sarah l...
