Raven Hart was introduced to me by the Book Club Forum last year where I won a competition winning The Vampires Seduction and the Vampires Secret; both of which were signed by Raven Hart herself.

 I am now about to start the third book in the series, The Vampires Kiss.

The Vampires Seduction

When it comes to a wild and seductive nightlife, Savannah has bite.

Older than the United States and wealthy beyond his years, playboy William Cuyler Thorne is a vampire with a nice long undead life—one that includes a steady stream of admirers, a consistent supply of rejuvenating blood, and, best of all, a cover as one of Savannah’s most prominent pillars of society.

But all good things must end.

Now an ancient enemy has come for William from across the seas. It is his sire, Reedrek, the vampire who created him. And Reedrek will stop at nothing until all that is precious to William—his beautiful mistress, his stable of willing female victims, his glorious estates, and his good-ol’-boy vampire sidekick, Jack—is within his voracious grasp. But William has an arsenal of his own—one that is enhanced by the power of voodoo. And when these two bloodsuckers meet, there will be hell to pay.

The Vampires Secret

Once a mortal with a beloved family, William Cuyler Thorne is now a vampire on the prowl for blood and beautiful women. He has the perfect cover as an admired citizen of Savannah society. Though Reedreck, the ruthless old-world vampire who tried to destroy William, has been defeated, he still has his followers - and they will settle for nothing less than all-out war.

To counter this vicious band of European bloodsuckers, William organizes a vampire empire, which includes the handsomely slick Jack; Wiliam’s newly made eternity mate, the luscious seductress Eleanor; and a wannabe-badass named Werm. But as William and his team prepare for the ultimate showdown, the only hope for victory may lie with one woman, a vampire with unusual powers who holds the vampires’ fate in her hot little hands.

The Vampires Kiss

With William fighting the forces of evil in London town, Jack must cope with the monsters who will challenge him for dominance over Savannah’s un-human underworld—and protect the citizenry in the process.

Along the way, Jack gets reacquainted with a fuzzy former friend—sexy werewolf Seth Walker, who has a powerful history with Jack’s lady love, Connie the cop. As Jack puzzles over the mystery of Connie and Seth’s past, he must remind himself that Connie is more than merely mortal. The fact that Connie’s also a Mayan goddess is bad enough, but what else voodoo mambo Melaphia discovers about her could mean the end of Jack, William, Werm, and the rest of the Savannah fang gang!

Great books that leave you wanting more!

My Uncle

Posted in Family tagged at 11:36 pm by Nici

Very sadly my favourite Uncle who lives in Canada passed away yesterday.

A month and a half ago they thought that he might have lung cancer so they were running tests to confirm it. But unfortunately at the weekend he got rushed to hospital with pheumonia (sp?) where he then had a stroke and slipped into a coma and died.

I am devastated. I hadn’t seen my Uncle for about 20 years but we stayed in touch with emails, letters, postcards and phone calls. It was always my plan to save up the air fare and go and visit him but sadly he has been taken far far too early (he was only 65).

I have been walking around in a daze since my Dad told me. I am taking comfort that he is looking down on me and taking care of me.

RIP Uncle Peter, you will be greatly missed and I loved you very much.

I’m a Mod!

Well first I have to say a BIG THANKYOU to Kell and Sarah for awarding me with this prize! I’m not sure why as there are far better blogs out there than mine, but thanks guys!

I would pass it on, but Sarah and Kell have already done so to the people I know who have blogs lol! So all of those, well done as well! : )

As I have received this award, I am supposed to list 7 weird or random things about myself. Hmmm this could be tricky!

1. I believe in Angels. I truly believe that I have a guardian angel who looks after me.

2. I have a resident ghost in my house. I think it is the previous owner. He likes to turn my tv’s on and off and take my sky card out of the box and put it back in the wrong way…I also get whiffs of perfume/aftershave quite a lot.

3.  I have got white knees as they never tan even though the rest of my legs are brown. lol.

4. I have a cuddly pink and white dog which you heat up in the microwave and I cuddle it every night. She is called Lucy.

5. I am a Daddy’s girl.

6. I am addicted to bread. I cannot go a day without eating it or else I get withdrawal symptons and start craving it.

7. I gave up smoking over a year ago! : D
