I'm definitely learning some things. This book is giving me a more nuanced perspective of U.S. history.

Now that’s a plot twist!

I woke up at 5:00 am and instead of getting ready to go to work, I was reading this. LAWD! It's like a damn roller coaster and hotter than a sinner in Church on Sunday. I'm typing this at work and I don't even care.

You ever come to a scene in a book so stressful that you have to pause to get yourself together before continuing? I'm there.

I cann6 tell you enough how much I love Julius Heartstriker. His mother on the hand...

This is fascinating and so hard to read. It's like lancing a wound.

If someone doesn't smack the holy conceit out of Zeus, I'm going to catch a case.

I am always astounded by how good the writing is and how much I enjoy reading a book by Grace Draven.

Oh hell no! These people got me all types of messed up. How're you gonna just treat folk like that and then can't understand why they don't like you?

Sis got me over here screeching at my tablet like I don't know these damn characters can't hear me.

I love a Southern Gothic tale but I forget why until I'm creeped out.

I'm really liking it so far. Its fast-paced and Persephone is more than likeable. Bonus, the realm she is in is Virgo.

"Hell, when you had darker skin—no amount of Fair & Lovely skin cream could turn her into a white girl—safety was a flat-out lie." ~Neha. No true words.

I had forgotten what it's like to read a proper traditional vampire book. These Vamps aren't sexy. They don't sparkle and they sure as hell ain't trying to be your fantasy. These are proper Nosferatu and I am here for it! Yes, Justinia Malvern remind us how a true vampire stay running these streets.

WHY WOULD YOU NOT BOARD UP THE ENTRANCE?! Gah! Nobody wants to be an hors d' ourve.

Enter the government and the game of "keep-away." I can't wait for the General to either get eaten or become infected.

First of all, if you lay a hand on ANY child I'm going to need your life. Children are off limits. This makes me so angry. You just can't reason with people who use children as chess pieces.

My nerves can't take this. Lawd!

😳 No one warned me that the second book in this damn compilation would be so brutal. I'm sitting here feeling like I want to puke and I'm so damn angry I want to set the whole damn book on fire. It's good, but this woman is going through hell and if somebody doesn't torture and kill the SOB, I'm am not going to be happy.

Why did I wait so long to read this? I'm only 33% in and I love it.

I love it when a character comes into their own. I thought Nevada was impressive, but damn if Catalina isn't nipping at her heels. When I grow up I want to be Baylor Badass!

This non-book-club is the best ever. It would have to be to offset some of the creep factor. I haven't had a book make me sleep with the light on in well over a year. 😳

Oh man, already I'm tearing up. So brave, these people.

For those of you who prefer your BDSM to hit the back of your throat like a shot of Bourbon, this is the read for you.

I'm only two percent into the book and I already adore the heroine Hannah Kabbah. I ADORE her! And lil Miss Chai Latte can go kick rocks barefoot.

When you come to that part in the story where your heroine has had her heart ripped out and all you can do is cry along with her and drink se laced coffee. #uglycriesaretheworst

I can't wrap my head around this. It is sickening, what was done to this tribe. Hell, EVERY tribe.
