Overview
FIRST IN A NEW TRILOGY
From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale—populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that’s how the locals prefer it…
Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.
There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).
Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...

***SPOILER ALERT* Possibly***

My View: 
I love Charlaine's writings. They are always intriguing and easy to follow. AS for Midnight Crossroad, well it took me 2 chapters to figure out what the heck was going on. So much descriptive information over-loaded me. I'm still not sure what all the characters look like at this point, I'll have to read it a second time to figure that out. As for the story line, it's awesome. I love it when reading a book I'm not sure what will happen or who will end up with how. This is definitely one of those. As you get to know the characters, especially Fiji for me, you start to understand why he few residents are living in basically a ghost town. You will fall in love with one of the residents, I know I have and it's not the newcomer Manfred either.
If you like witches, vampires, unknown reasons for hiding and possibly a shifter then this may be the book for you. Give it a chance through the first few chapters, do NOT put it down. It will all make sense and you will be glad you finished it. If I stayed up til 3am to finish it, it's worth the read.

Favorite Author #4!

Tina Folsom
Tina is one of my found by mistake authors. Yep that's right. I wasn't really looking for her but her 'Scanguards Vampires' found me.

I think 'Sampson's Lovely Mortal' was on sale for $0.99 when I decided I would try her out. Low and behold I was hooked. I ended up buying all that were out and then threw a fit when I wanted more and had to wait.  I have yet to find the funds in my tight budget to start her other series but they are on my LIST TO BUY!


About Scanguards Vampires:



Scanguards Vampires  Book #1
Vampire bachelor Samson can’t get it up anymore. Not even his shrink can help him. That changes when the lovely mortal auditor Delilah tumbles into his arms after a seemingly random attack. Suddenly there’s nothing wrong with his hydraulics – that is, as long as Delilah is the woman in his arms.
His scruples about taking Delilah to bed vanish when his shrink suggests it’s the only way to  cure his problem. Thinking all he needs is one night with her, Samson indulges in a night of pleasure and passion.

However, another attack on Delilah and a dead body later, and Samson has his hands full: not only with trying to hide the fact he’s a vampire, but also with finding out what secrets Delilah harbors for somebody to want her harm.

As the story continues with each and every book you get more and more drawn into it. Always left wondering "what if, who's book is next, holy cow I didn't see that coming." 'Thomas' Choice' was one that I wasn't sure I'd like to read. It's a male/male, book. I read it and I loved it just as much as the others. 

Tina has books published all over the world and in several languages. Take the time to read one of her wonderfully engaging novels. Find her on her website Tina Folsom, Twitter and Facebook. Be sure to sign up for her newsletters too.

Wednesday Reads!

How about a book that could be classified as young adult with innuendo? Gotta love Patricia Briggs, author of  "Mercy Thompson Series".  Mercy is a mechanic that loves working on Volkswagen vehicles, especially her friend 's who happens to be a vampire. Then she has a pack of wolves in town, and guess what; the alpha lives right behind her trailer. You got your werewolves, ghosts, fae, vampires, witches and of course your skinwalker. Yeppers, Mercy is a coyote skinwalker. Yeah lots happening to our little coyote; always seems to get into trouble. 'Moon Called' is the first in the series. Once you start you will have to finish the series.
Enjoy you reads this week!  Get Moon Called at the links below;
