A witch's blood can kill a vampire fast it eats them away. Nikolaus survived her blood bullets two months ago and just now is healed enough to come kill her. with the force he used to knock down the door the potioned rained down of Ravan and when nilolaus bit into her it went straight to him.

its a nice story line. fast read.

Review Alice at heart by Deborah Smith

Its a charming story of water people, excepting differences in our selves and others. Alice lived most of her life being hated for being different.  Boys assaulted her and laughed. Her family hated her. She was told her teenage mom killed herself because of her.
Alice lives alone by a lake in a cabin.  Where she feels safer and more at peace swimming in the lake. Alice works at a pet store. Alice has never left her area.
One day while swimming nude in the freezing water she hears  a scream of    child fell into the lake. Alice is aways off but swims faster than anyone believes and can hold her breath for over an hour.  Rescues the child. Instead of being grateful everyone thinks she might have done it for glory, because no one believes her truth. the child grandfather is the state govenor.  Alice is given award but no one really celebrates what she did.
Her other side of the family just realizes by the paper who Alice is and comes to take her home with them and tells her about her family.
Griff is a treasure hunter and has unbelieveable talents for finding ships and exploring them.  An old world war bomb explodes in the water killing everyone else but him he hears Alice in his mind telling him to breath that he can. Griff lives but has broken legs and other wounds and comes back to his home.
Alice and Griff learn together about thier families and the journeys they have gone on and what really happened and where they came from.
I enjoyed the story.

I enjoyed the story for most part. but too much sex detail.  Syd and her friend go to a physic she has had dreams of same guy and he turns into a warewolf.  she wants to meet him. Her father is a werewolf hunter and wants her to be in the family business.  but she is attracted to her dream guy and doesnt want to kill anything.
Jason is comming into his gym to check on the new manager with his accountant gay werewolf Benjy.  Jason is admiring a women from the back on a exersice machine which is syd. Syd turns looks at him and is startled the machine catches her shirt she falls on Jason. and rips her shirt off before it chokes her. embarress hers and gives her his shirt as he is ordered too. As she runs to the dressing room he remarks that he has just met his mate.
Later Syd takes pain pills for her bruised back and side than takes a drink of wine. her father comes in and gets her to agree to go on one hunt even though she says she wont shoot.
than jason comes after he leaves with flowers and wine.  they end in bed and he says something about them being mates she says she recongizes him too so he bit her not realizing she had combination of pills and wine. he ends up leaving to give her space to cool down.
two days later syd is on hunt with her father and runs across Jason and female who are changing somone hits the girl. she convinces her father and friend to let her finsh off the were by herself so they go after wounded girl. Syd feels like shooting him over jealousy but convinces everyone that she fately wounded him but he escaped down drain.
Syd is in process of changing into a werewolf and her mate is one and her father hates werewolfs and kills them. 
a lot of action, fights, laughter as they try and work through problems . I give 4 stars.

Inviolate by Michael Link

as a mother of two girls I wish this world did not exist. he writes very well and it flows but not a book that I enjoyed because I know thier is too much out thier to damage our youth. If you can handle the subject its a good book to read ( ) the book is fiction and deals with a teenager who gets raped. How she and those around her cope. It effects a lot of people what one bad person does.
also shows a young girl as beeing to interested in sex before she is a teenager. Also it shows how one person has false charges how that destroys too

new to blogging
