Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh
Great book! I never read this author and I'm not disappointed. Her book had conflict, sexual tension, great plot development and character depth. I'm not a fan of series' with the same hero and heroine as the main characters. I usually read series books but each story is stand alone. As I said before I was not disappointed with this book including the ending and my curiosity is just as peaked for the next story. I just bought the next book in the series, Archangel's Kiss and I can't wait to read it.

I found a new author...
In my last post I wrote about Jennifer Lyon's book Soul Magic. Well, I've finished the book and the second one in the series and I'm happy to say I have found another series to follow! I'm doing a happy dance right now. I always get excited when I find a new series to read. It's like eating a slice of decadent chocolate cake (three-layer not single) and knowing you won't have to stop there because an entire cake is waiting for you.
Okay, now I'm hungry for cake and to get back to reading!

Currently reading Blood Magic
Has anyone read Jennifer Lyon yet? I just started the book yesterday and I'm already impressed with the way she conveys the characters emotions, feelings and tension. I can't wait to keep reading!

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday!
Happy Sunday! Here is a small excerpt from my paranormal romance (with plenty of suspense-I hope) to be released in March 2012 from Muse It Up Publishing.
Let me give you a little background for this excerpt: Danni's psychic abilities have engaged and she is now witnessing the murder of a young woman through her mind's eye while her physical presence remains at her home.
(unedited excerpt)
His rage escalated, the evil energy swelled inside the tiny room. Danni imagined the knife raising. At that moment, it didn’t matter if her body was elsewhere. She still felt the abuse. Frantic, she tried to let go of the woman’s hands, but pain and terror were sturdy threads that bound them together. She feared she’d die when the woman did.
The Burning Seal
Detective Danni Keegan is plunged into a dark, demonic world where survival depends on deciphering the connection between ritual killings, and a demon terrorizing her for a `gift' she wasn't even aware she possessed.
She must unravel her dreams of another woman who lived during ancient times and battled a bloodthirsty demon. The same demon who now hunts Danni.
The loss of Danni's body and soul looms imminent as her only chance to destroy the demon depends on changing her new partner's convictions. A sinfully sexy man, who exudes power and self-assurance with the ease of breathing and has an iron willed determination not to believe in the paranormal.

So far, I'm enjoying this Koontz book. He has wonderful word choice that evokes exciting imagery. It's inspiring to read a great author. I don't find it discouraging at all instead it fills me with the desire to do better and create beautiful imagery for my readers.
