"The Vampire's Warden" by S.J. Wright

*****
He moved. It was a flash in the moonlight, a blur of motion like I'd never witnessed before. No human had the capacity to move like that. When I found myself face-to-face with him there in the meadow, I knew without a doubt that the journal was authentic. I knew that my grandfather hadn't been crazy at all.

Because a foot away from me stood a vampire.

What do you do when you find out the people you trust have been hiding a terrible secret? When Sarah Wood's father passes away and hands over to her the responsibility of running the family's inn, she finds put things are far more complicated than she first imagined. She's not just responsible for running the inn. She's become the Vampire's Warden.

This is part one of a three-part series. It is 31,880 words long. It is a novella.


Definitely want to read the other two parts!!!!!!!!!!! please??????????????????????????? Fantastic book. Easy to read, great descriptions, i couldn't put the book down!!!!!!!! Must read!!!!

"The Deepest Cut" by J.A. Templeton


*****
Sixteen-year-old Riley Williams has been able to see ghosts since the car crash that took her mother’s life and shattered her family. Guilt-ridden over the belief that she’s somehow responsible for her mom’s death, Riley is desperate to see her mother’s elusive spirit to gain her forgiveness.

When her father moves the family to Scotland so they can all start over, Riley believes her life couldn’t get worse––that is until the ghost of nineteen-year-old Ian MacKinnon catches her purposely cutting herself. An uneasy truce quickly turns into friendship, and soon Riley’s falling hard for Ian.

Riley believes her gift could help Ian end the curse that has kept him tied to the land for centuries, but that would mean letting him go forever and she’s not sure she is strong enough to do that. As if her life wasn’t complicated enough, the spirit of the woman who killed Ian returns and she’ll stop at nothing to keep Riley from helping Ian find eternal peace.

I really enjoyed this book. Paranormal Romances I have always enjoyed, especially if they are well written. In this case, Templeton did a fantastic job. I fell in love with the characters, setting, and storyline. Very well written and a very addicting story, especially if there are more to come. I would really enjoy the oppertunity to read and review the next addition. Easy to read, fun to read, a bit creepy.....alot.....a must read to anyone who enjoys books to this degree!!!!

"Ghosts of Rosewood Asylum" by Stephen Prosapio

*****
Zach Kalusky, host of Sci-D TV's Xavier Paranormal Investigators, is ecstatic when he's given the opportunity to explore the most haunted site in Chicago for a Halloween Special: Rosewood Asylum, a place long made off-limits by the local government, plagued by decades of mysterious fires and unexplained events. It's Zach's dream investigation- but there's a catch: the network forces Xavier Paranormal Investigators to partner with the more dramatic-but less ethical-Demon Hunters. Now, Zach must fight for both his show's integrity and his team's loyalty while trying to protect his own secret: that he, himself, is possessed...

I loved this story!!!! Not only was it really spooky and really creepy, it was well written. High five to
Stephen Prosapio. Very descriptive, transforms the reader into another place, literally. Great characters, Easy to read and I could NOT put it down!!!!! Will recomend to others and it maybe a read again in future book. Loved it!!!!
