Title: Why The Vampires Don't Need Us
In the eerie screams of a world draped in fanged conquerors, Sage Steel stood alone, a prisoner of her own art. Her horror novels, once fiction, had birthed a nightmare: A Vampire Empire, led by the enigmatic Praetor Pilatus, who now demanded she pen their legacy. Crafting words that could spark a revolution or seal humanity's doom, Sage wrestled with crushing guilt. And Pilatus was unaware that within Sage's captivity, rebellion's seeds were sown, and the last chapter was far from written. #strongfemalelead #vampires #postapocalyptic #psychologicalthriller #dystopian #vampire #VELLA

Review: Mates: Posy: Book One

Mates: Posy: Book One Mates: Posy: Book One by Mary Ann Weir
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Interesting

Posy is Damaged! Seriously, damaged. I liked the concept of this book. 5 mates, RH. Lots of possibilities. I like all of her mates. They are all different and between them their wolves and the 5 Betas, their wolves and the several other characters and THEIR wolves you are talking about a lot of characters, at least 30 in a 257 page book. I didn't hate the number of characters like some readers have complained about, I think that the author wrote them fairly well. ALL of the characters are different enough that it's not impossible to tell them apart. My very favorite characters were Quartz and Onyx...if you want to know why you will have to read the book because they are DELISH! But because of how damaged Posy is, how juvenile she is, the multiple breakdowns she has (some of which are cringe-worthy), and the vast number of characters throughout the book it doesn't really have a climax, it just kinda ends. There is not really even much of a cliffhanger. And it has very little sex for a reverse harem! That is the only things that I didn't like. I am great with cliffhangers and multiple books in a series, but there has to be a peak in each book or at least a good cliffhanger. The book didn't have that. But it has a ton of POTENTIAL! Enough plot potential that I am going to read the second book and hope that Posy benefits from some character development, matures a bit, and gets this reverse harem off the ground!

Review: Punished

Punished Punished by L.V. Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How original!

I found this book to be highly entertaining! How thought provoking! Do we as authors fall in love with our characters? Sometimes. I think this is where series come from. We, like our readers, don't want to let them go. But would I want to write myself into their story and world? For me, I think not. That is for my readers to fantasize about. You see I love both my male and female characters. Their pairing to me is what makes them perfect. For me to have one of my male leads I would have to get rid of one of my girls. No, I love my girls! Can't do it.

But, this is an interesting concept. Authoring the perfect man for myself; hitting all of my fantasies? Hmmmm. This was well-written, short, detailed, smexy, and original. Highly recommend.
