Description:

After Dante Bottelli’s slaughter of Vamp-owned Mixbreeds, Lanore and Zulu execute a well-planned attack that hits Dante where it hurts the most—his pockets. But their attack triggers a chain of unfortunate events, and allows Detective Rivera to blackmail Lanore.

Rivera forces Lanore to investigate his case, the Burning Bush Murders. Someone's been tying girls to bushes and setting them on fire. Lanore must find the killer, or Rivera goes public with his information.

Meanwhile, Dante won't take his defeat without a fight. He counterattacks and the Santeria habitat, as well as Lanore’s and Zulu’s lives, are changed forever.

Guest Post & Giveaway: Literary Orgasms

Today we have Kenya Wright with her Top 5 Literary Orgasms!

Literary Orgasms: The top 5 book that made my brain moan!

Guest Post by Kenya Wright

You pick up a book and read it. Boom! Suddenly, your entire perspective on life has shifted. Your mind is boggled down with philosophical questions. Days and weeks later, you're discussing the book with anyone who will listen.

This is what I call a Literary Orgasm! Hopefully, you have stumbled into a few in your lifetime. Here are mine!

1- The Carpet Makers

This story follows the many men that create carpets out of their wives' and daughters' hair. In fact, the whole planet's economy is centered on the hair carpet-making community--people choose their female mate by the texture of hair, men spend their entire life working on one carpet, and events are held around the carpet sales.

I am not a big science fiction reader, but this book is possibly the greatest novel I've read. I changed my way of life after reading this. Sadly, I don't believe there is an ebook format. I ended up grabbing mine from the library.

2- Warbreaker
A world where people who die in a glorious way return as gods and powerful individuals wield BioChromatic magic which is collected from others' breath.

Due to this book, I recreated my own novel's world. I learned that my world's only limited by my head and not a pen or paper.





 


3- Ready Player One
The year is 2044. All of humanity work, live, play, and communicate in a virtual utopia world called Oasis.

Eighty percent of the time I log on to my computer, I think about this story. This isn't just Geekville fun. For me, this is what our future could be!

Description:

Since the 1970s humans have forced supernaturals to live in caged cities. Silver brands embedded in their foreheads identify them by species: a full moon for Vampires, a crescent moon for Shifters, a pair of wings for Fairies, and the list goes on, for each supernatural species has been tagged and categorized by humans. Lanore Vesta is marked with a silver X, the brand of Mixbreeds, second-class citizens shunned by society. She stays to herself, revealing her ability to create fire only during emergencies. All she wants to do is graduate college and stop having to steal to survive. But when she stumbles upon a murder in progress, she catches the attention of a supernatural killer. Now all she wants is to stop finding dead bodies in her apartment. Enlisting help from her Were-cheetah ex-boyfriend MeShack and a new mysterious friend named Zulu, she is steered through the habitat’s raunchy nightlife. But their presence sometimes proves to be more burden than help, as they fight for her attention. While the corpses pile up, and the scent of blood fills the air, Lanore is left wondering: will she find the psycho or die trying?
