Challange review / Wasn't Meant to Be--Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick


Yeah so I’m feeling a little bad (even though I shouldn’t) that I haven’t read one of my challenge books, and this month it’s going down the same way. Only I can’t write it off as something else like the last two that were meant to be done.
So, I thought, this is a good way to put up the books that are on the list with an apologies and hopefully I’ll get myself around to actually reading one next month

By the way, this one was always hard for me to pick up because I’m a little scared about what it really is. and because of that, well, it’s hard to pick up.

The first couple of lines for you
“Where are you?” Aunt Hannah demanded as soon as Alex thumbed TALK. “What do you think you’re doing?”
     “I just crossed into Michigan,” Alex said, choosing the easiest question first. When she’d spotted the WELCOME TO MICHIGAN sign—GREAT LAKES! GREAT TIMES!—she felt a sense of things opening up, expanding, as if she’d been travelling in a perpetual night on a lonely road hemmed be thick, black forest and was only now getting her first glimpse of the sun. “I had to get gas.” Which was really neither here nor there.

Stuck in Your Head # 9


I'm going to give you the line from the books I've read that make my mind crave the rest like coke.


“In order to determine whether the previous kiss was....memorable?
 “Yes.”
“I suppose it won’t matter on the morrow anyway,” he murmured, his eyes still on her. “And at least it will stop you from talking, Miss Woodmore.”

Recently Read, but can’t be Bothered


Or maybe it’s more because I just don’t feel like it’s worth it, even though they weren’t bad books, just not really something I could be bothered with.
With what? Yeah, I can be vague and air-headedness

Adults Corner #1


This posting is for ADULT AUDIENCES ONLY.
It contains substantial sexually explicit scenes and graphic language which may be considered offensive by some readers.

Fast Loving
[This was one of my first sex scenes that I wrote. It’s a male/male scene that’s has no relations to anything else that I wrote. just a 'see if I could' one. 
A Warning that this has not been edited, had any one check it for grammar mistakes or even read threw by me more than once]

Adults Corner


So, I’ve been thinking for awhile about this and can’t seem to talk myself out of it, so I figure I may as well give in and let live.
So here’s a new feature to my little blog, though it will be no less than a fortnight posting (on the opposite as ‘In Motion’) and will be of various scenes from various things that I have written.
Saying this I have the first four or so covered.

Now, let’s get into what I’m going to be putting up here.
Let’s explain.

REVIEW, Marked by P.C & Kristin Cast


Prod dets
 Marked
Series: House of Night # 1
Pub: 2007, (atom) St. Marin’s Press USA
Author: P.C & Kristin Cast
Cat: paranormal fiction
Format: paperback (mid); 348 pp w/ 29 chapters
Age Range: YA [16+]

            Synopsis
So the bad news was that I’d have to move into the House of Night, A private boarding school, known by all my friends as the vampyre finishing school, where I would spend the next four years going through bizarre and unnameable physical changes, as well as a total and permanent life shake-up. And that’s only if the whole process didn’t kill me.

But the good news was that I wouldn’t have to take the geometry test tomorrow.
     
When sixteen-year-old Zoey is marked by the Tracker, she knows her old life is over. Now she has to leave her friends and family to join the House of Night School, where there’s only one subject Zoey needs to study: vampire 101.
     
Of course, there’s always a catch, and this one’s nice and simple: if you fail, you die...

Hadn’t the Pleasure # 10


The books that have been collecting dust for so long they have become stained from it


Powerful psychic and vampire Raine Spenser is held prisoner because of her abilities. She’s in desperate need of a saviour, but the last one she expected was the soldier who’d once hunted her kind. Since her rescue, Raine has tried to forget Seth McConnell, unable to cope with the strange, simmering attraction that draws her to the human.

But their goal is the same—to destroy the Kraven who held Raine captive. The ever-growing web of danger surrounding them draws these two unlikely allies closer together...and anger slowly turns into an explosive passion that they’re finding hard to deny.
