Sorry about the "Creative Picture" it was done with my computer camera and in the wee hours of the morning I am not sure what I was doing taking pictures, I had to get myself out of the shot and as you can see the book is a "Mirror Image" so everything is turned around. You can still see the title..
Kalayna Price, book 2 in Novel of Haven series "Twice Dead" now need book 1 and soon enough there will be book 3 to buy  also when it is released {no date found yet}.








What did you get?

SOME SECRETS COME BACK TO HAUNT. OTHERS COME TO KILL... 


Justine Jones has lived her life as a fearful hypochondriac until she's lured into the web of a mysterious mastermind named Packard. He gifts her with extraordinary mental powers-dooming her to fight Midcity's shadowy war on paranormal crime in order to find the peace she so desperately craves.


But now, serial killers with unheard-of skills are terrorizing the most powerful beings in Midcity, including mastermind Packard - and his oldest friend and worst enemy, Midcity's new mayor, who has the ability to bend matter itself to his will.


As the body count grows, Justine faces a crisis of conscience as she tests the limits of her new powers and faces an impossible choice between two flawed but brilliant men . . . one on a journey of redemption, and the other descending into a pit of moral depravity.

A Drop of Red: Vampire Babylon, Book Four

by Chris Marie Green


If you run out of vampires to destroy at home, there’s always work overseas…

Hollywood stuntwoman-turned-vampire-hunter Dawn Madison, along with her comrades, managed to wipe out the Los Angeles Vampire Underground—and uncovered not only her own dark family heritage but also a terrible truth about the man she loves. Now she’s determined to find the next vampire lair, hoping it will help her to make more sense out of her life.

When a new Underground is found in England, Dawn and a vampire-fighting team are dispatched to carry the fight to the enemy in London. Dawn knows by now how deceiving appearances can be—and she is about to find out that it’s not only the beautiful people of Hollywood who are willing to bargain with evil…

Deep in the Woods





published
March 2nd 2010 by Ace Trade {Unless can get on sale will wait for MMPB copy to come out}


details
Paperback, 320 pages


isbn
0441018203    (isbn13: 9780441018208)



A brand new novel in the "dark, dramatic, and erotic" Vampire Babylon saga. 

With the female master of the London Underground in her hands, stuntwoman-turned vampire hunter Dawn Madison must fight off her followers, a vicious pack of undead teenage girls who put the vamps Dawn had to deal with in Los Angeles to shame... 


I am slowly running out of patience on waiting for my MMPB copies so can read the entire series back to back. However it will be worth it because have already read the novella that starts the story in "Night Rising" and that was what sold me on Chris Marie Green's books in the 1st place...
