Shirley lives in Delhi, India, with her family. Her love for the mysterious and the supernatural grew early on as a child, listening  about haunted houses, apparitions on lonely roads, and paranormal activities, supposedly true stories narrated by family and neighbors.

Those stories fueled a fascination for the unknown, one that she kept fed with a regular dose of ghosts, demons, the paranormal, and everything that goes bump in the night, thanks to a reading habit instilled by her parents.

Today, she reads across genres, including crime, thrillers, mysteries, paranormal, supernatural, and romance. Some of her favorites include Bram Stoker, Agatha Christie, Tami Hoag, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, L.J. Smith, Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Thomas Harri

I have a very long to-read-list. There is just so much to read and so little time.

I am definitely looking at catching up on reading the 'Hunger Games' series as well reviewing the Djinn Empire series by Ingrid Seymour. There are quite a few others too that I will be reading and reviewing in the coming weeks. (less)

Listening to music also helps sometimes... calms me down, helps to look at things differently. When I feel I am stuck at some point in a story... I usually step back and try to see what's going on and where it is going... old notes help in giving me directions. (less)

Book Review: Taste of Torment by Stacey Trombley

A Taste of Torment by Stacey Trombley My rating: 4 of 5 stars I liked this book. It was intriguing and kept me hooked to the end. It felt like Bella and Edward, but I quickly overcame that.

“We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.”
