Blurb:

At twenty-seven, detective Clarissa Tempest is one of the best at sniffing out goons, but these particular goons seem to be the bloodsucking kind.

Vamps aren’t real, right? Of course not. But Clarissa knows what she’s seen. Unfortunately, she’s a little distracted, and her actions earn her a suspension. Great. Life is really looking up. Maybe her therapist is right. Maybe she’s under too much stress and is seeing things.

But then a vamp seeks her out, telling her to knock it off and leave them alone or else he’ll knock her off.

Clarissa isn’t the kind to back down, though, and she’ll do whatever it takes to keep Bethlehem safe. She’s just hoping that won’t require her to lose a lot of blood… or her head.

Cover Review:

The cover doesn't really do justice to the awesome novel. Don't judge this one by it's cover, you'll regret it, I promise!

 

Review: 

When Vamps Bite is a novel full of witty dialogues, sarcasm, suspense, grief, anger frustration and a dozen more emotions, along with one of the most realistic heroines ever.

I absolutely loved reading When Vamps Bite and I'm so grateful to the author for the ARC! 

Clarrisa Tempest was a fun character to read and be. She was quirky, energetic and believed in herself. She knew what she'd seen and didn't try to demoralize herself or let others do it. I loved her.

The plotline itself was pretty amazing too, with suspense holding steady till the end. 

So all in all, it was an awesomely amazing read and I really hope I'll get to read more of Clarissa Tempest!

Nearly twenty years ago a teenage girl was murdered...

Samantha Williams was just a young girl when her cousin, Emily, was brutally raped and killed in her own home. As a child, Sam's family did their best to shelter her from the gruesome details. Now, working the crime beat for the Portland Tribune, Sam has the resources at her fingertips to investigate the case for herself.

Through the eyes of a killer...

After inheriting a family heirloom, an antique vanity table that once belonged to her murdered cousin, Sam begins seeing visions in the mirror's depths. Like watching an old home movie, she bears witness to Emily's murder. As if that weren't frightening enough, she starts to see other things too: fleeting glimpses of the killer himself! Are the things she sees just a figment of her imagination or could something otherworldly be trying to communicate with her? When the killer strikes again and leaves clues behind meant specifically for Sam it becomes a race against time to try to catch him.

Book Review:

(Thanks to the author for the ARC copy!)

Oh my God! Mirror, Mirror was an amazing read! I absolutely loved reading it. 

I actually stayed up till 4 AM in order to finish it because I just couldn't put it down!

There was comedy, sarcasm and a whole lot of suspense in this book. 

The concept of the story, the writing style, the characters, everything was top notch!

The story kept me on edge, and I finished the whole thing, all the while thinking 'just one more chapter'!

I'm so glad I got the chance to read and review this utterly amazing book and I'm looking forward to reading more from the author! :)

Blurb:

Shadow Valley, a retirement home that Maureen Keslyn both owns and resides in, hasn't quite recovered from its last battle with the supernatural. Nor have the members of Maureen's team. Jake, the sheriff who has come to believe in powers beyond what he can see, nevertheless remains skeptical on how to deal with those powers when they become malevolent. Matt, the cook at the manor, as well as a federal agent, finds his loyalties fraying in all directions. And then there is Sophronia, the youngest member, a girl who has abilities beyond what she can control, and fears of how powerful she can become. 

Into this powderkeg walks Jillian, the daughter of Maureen's former partner. Jillian once tried to stab Maureen, and her presence isn't likely to end more pleasantly this time around. She's up to something, and Maureen needs to find out what.

Maureen and Jake are called upon to investigate a suicide that looks like anything but, and their search through the history of their town turns up unsolved murders, and an evil that has been lurking for decades. To bring the fight to Shadow Valley gives them their best chance at overcoming a demon more powerful than any they have ever encountered--but it also puts everyone at the greatest risk. And when Sophronia disappears, the clock is ticking to find her safe, before she becomes the latest victim.

Cover Review: The cover is one of the simplest and most beautiful cover I've ever seen. It's something I'd be proud to display on my shelf. 

Review:

(Thanks to NetGalley for the review copy!)

World Tree Girl is an exciting novel with a lot of twists and a whole lot of suspense. 

I immensely enjoyed reading this book, and it has surely become one of my Favorites.

The paranormal has been weaved with an extraordinary precision into a murder mystery, making this book an even exciting journey!

I loved the fact that the major characters were middle-aged, rather than the usual teenagers/twenties people that crowd the current thrillers. It gave the book a whole new class.

The sarcasm included was cherry on the cake, making this a complete, fully loaded experience. 

World Tree Girl gets 5 stars for its utterly beautiful cover, and the even more exciting story!
