Book Description

 

Things are on the up for Sophie Morgan.

She fended off vampires on a holiday to Antwerp, escaped them on her return in Coventry, stabbed her neighbor and is slowly rebuilding her life in her hometown of Bethel. Running the family property business may not be lucrative but she’s happy. Since returning to Wales, she has only had to kill one vampire and thanks to the linoleum on her kitchen floor, even that was an easy clean up.

Then a mixed blessing arrives in the form of Mickey Kelly, the barman she had a brief flirtation with in Antwerp. After being missing for months, he arrives on her doorstep one rainy night. His brother has been murdered and vampires are coming for her. Little do the pair know that Sophie’s estranged father is among their numbers. He’s coming for his daughter… and he’s not the only one.

Death in the Family is the long awaited sequel to Relative Strangers, with some familiar faces as well as some new ones.

Will Charles Ferrers, Sophie’s former adversary, pursue her to South Wales and if so, to what end? Who is the mysterious man following her? Will Sophie and Mickey finally consummate their relationship and where will it lead them? Or will there be more than one new man in her life?

Find out how our practical, resilient, if not slightly insecure, Sophie deals with a whole new range of challenges in the second in the ‘Sophie Morgan vampire series’. This time she has bigger problems than vampires to deal with. This time she has family visiting.

Death in the Family is the second Sophie Morgan vampire book and will be available from Amazon from 14th February – the perfect valentine gift for the vampire slayer in your life!

Excerpt

 

Julie was beautiful in her sadness. The faint lines, that had started to form around her eyes, reminded him of the laughter he had missed, the private jokes which they should have shared over the years. Her red hair was still fiery but had mellowed to the colour of ancient amber, the freckles on her arms blended from summers in the sun so that her pale skin now had a healthier complexion.

A hunger surged inside him. He ran his fingers through his hair and tugged at it. Julie was a matter of moments away. All he had to do was call her name, knock on the window, rip off the door and announce himself to her, take her in his arms, slip his tongue around hers, press his teeth into her flesh, own her, be with her, climb into her and walk around in her flesh, in her heart, in her soul till they both descended into rapturous madness.

In the flood of hitherto suppressed emotion that washed over him, Kasper forgot himself for a second and lost himself in Julie. In that moment, he was with her, stood next to her, cradling her in his arms as a father, a lover, a son. He wanted to be everything to her, to show her the world.

He didn’t hear the footsteps that quietly crept up from behind him, cushioned by the damp grass and soft soles. Nor did he hear the rustle of coat sleeves as the arm swung back and launched the tyre iron at his skull. The swift thud of metal against flesh was barely audible, as was the gentle plod of footsteps making away with his limp body across the lawn.

In addition to being the creator of the developing “Sophie Morgan” series, Helen is an urban poet and social commentator who can frequently be found ranting in the Twitterverse. She knew the degree in Sociology would come in handy some day!

I didn’t do much for the holiday. I spent it reading and watching movies with my son.

You’d expect me to read or watch some romantic stuff, but nope, I binged on science fiction and horror. From fiction to non-fiction. And everything in between.

One bite started it all . . .

Joshua, Remy, and the twins are settled in their new life. However, life doesn’t always run smoothly. An argument between Becky and her twin causes unforeseen circumstances, an admission by Samir almost costs him his life, and the traitor provides critical information to Liam. But who is it?

As Jakki’s visions begin to focus on the turncoat’s activities, a member of the coven disappears, and others find themselves endangered.

And when Liam’s coven attacks, who will endure?

Fate continues to toy with mortals and immortals alike, and as more hearts descend into darkness, can they overcome the dangers they face and survive?

I have watched this movie so many times and I still laugh so hard I almost pee my pants. LOL

I’ve got some awesome books to share with you today. But first lets talk about review ratings.

The other day I was talking with my sister and she asked me a question I’ve been pondering myself. It’s about the Amazon review rating system. You know they changed how the ratings work, what the stars mean. Their rating description doesn’t reflect mine on my blog and my sister asked, do I give a book 5 stars on Amazon when I gave it 4 stars on my blog.

I mostly review books on my blog that I really like. So my ratings are between 3 and 5 stars. A really good book gets a 4 star rating from me but Amazon’s description for a 4 star rating doesn’t coincide with mine. It’s like I need to give it 5 stars to show how I felt about it. So far I use the same star rating as on my blog but each time it bothers me.

The question I have today is, do you change your ratings when posting on Amazon?

Here we are again. This week went by so fast.

I spent this weekend wandering around outside, checking to see which plants survived the cold so far. I’ve got plans to move some this spring and want to buy some small fruit trees and plant an herb garden.

I got the idea for growing my own herbs when I decided to start trying the recipes from the cozy mysteries I’ve been reading. There are some really good ones and I’m collecting them. Herbs and spices can be very expensive so I figured growing my own would get me out in the fresh air, keep me busy, and save on money.

My son is excited as he’s the official taste tester and has enjoyed a few recipes I’ve tried already. I usually follow the recipe precisely the first time and then tweak it the next time I cook. It’s fun to see what I come up with, but sometimes it’s a disaster. LOL Hence the garden and saving on money.

I’ve also been playing with the idea of reviewing the book and sharing the recipe with pictures of my efforts. Should be fun and I’ll even post the disasters.

My wish is to one day to be able to make tacos that taste as good as Taco Bell’s. I love theirs and could eat them everyday.

Do you ever try the recipes from cozy mysteries? Do you try ones from the cooking networks?

And just for fun, what’s your favorite fast food?

My Review
.

The story begins when the character finds himself in a dark, empty room. Not knowing how he got there, who he is, or where he is, he finally gets the courage to call out for help.

He’s answered, but not by a voice. Words light up on a wall. It’s worse than he imagined.

He’s a character in a book and it appears he’s wandered out of his story and ended up in the room. The author writes his answers and they appear on the wall.

The really bad thing is, the author didn’t write any notes and has no idea which story the character came from, so he needs his help.

This is a story of show and tell and the author guides the character, instructing him and supplying him with scant info on what he should do.

The room has ten doors, each labeled. The character must go through each door in order to find his home story. The author cautions him before entering that what lies behind each door could kill him and he’s not sure if the character will really die or return to the room. It’s an enter at your own risk thing and the character has no choice.

The character approaches the first door labeled Zombies and dives in, as did I.

After the first adventure I didn’t blame the characters hesitancy to go through another. Yet he must and he does. This continues through several more and I was with the character when he got good and mad at the author.

Between each new door, the character returns to the empty room, learns more from the author and goes through the next door. These interludes between each chapter are labeled Interlude.

He encounters many other characters in each story. After a while he learns not to become attached to them. The author’s monsters dispatch them in horrendous fashion.

As for the monsters, the character runs into some werewolves like nothing you could imagine. The werewolves are 8 feet tall, six feet long, with red eyes like lamps and drooling acid. Must not forget the tail of a scorpion that electrocutes you.

The vampires are brown and black spotted things riding black horses. Their eyes gleam yellow, they have no hair and only two fangs, no other teeth. And they have these really wicked whips.

There’s serial killers and these really gross wormy snake things, aliens, and many others. All of them are out to get ya too.

While you know the character goes through all ten doors, otherwise there wouldn’t be that many chapters, that doesn’t mean he finds his home story. It doesn’t mean he survives. The author gives no guarantees.

Half way through, the character is fed up, yet he continues. He must and the author needs him to. Otherwise the character will languish in the room and so will the story.

What kind of author doesn’t keep notes? And what’s with the stories? All of them are horrific. Is the author lying? Does he know which door will lead the character to his home story? Is that what the story really is, him having to jump through the hoops? If so, the author must be a sadist.

Unlike anything I’ve ever read before, the author pulled out all the stops. Monsters beyond imagination. A character lost and guided by his author. An author, frustrated at his own lack of foresight.

This is Anthony Renfro’s best work yet!

5 Stars

Blurb

Imagine that you are a character in a story.

You have a home.

You have a life.

You have it all.

Then suddenly you wake up alone and afraid in a cold, dark place. Somehow you find your courage and your voice. When you ask for help, words light up on a wall in the darkness. You read them and realize you are in the creative center of your author’s mind. Instead of rescuing you, the author asks you for help.

This book is about the journey of that character, as he moves from story to story desperately trying to find his home.

I seem to have found my stride again and read a bunch of books and wrote a bunch of reviews. I’m already way ahead for February!

So to pat myself on the back, I spent this week watching the first three seasons of American Horror Story. Have  any of you watched this?

This is one sick, twisted, fantastic series. LOL Just what I love. The fun thing is a lot of the actors play different characters for each season. Jessica Lange rocks in all of them and she plays the bad guy so good.

I’m leaning toward the third season, Coven: Witches, as my favorite. I love the setting of New Orleans and the dark, sultry voodoo aspect. People drop like flies, only to return and sometimes die again. The creative ways they die cracked me up and grossed me out at the same time. It’s not for the weak stomached for sure.

And I’m still trying to decide if any of the witches were truly good aside from the new reigning Supreme.

Have you watched any of them? What did you think?

And about buying books. I knew I probably wouldn’t keep my deal of not buying any books this month. So I made myself a new deal. One book a week and I decided to buy one new book from four different series I’ve been reading. So now I’m browsing, happy as a clam, ready to spend a bit of money.

And I’m always looking for a new series to start. Got any suggestions?

Hard to believe another week has flown by. I happened to notice the days are getting longer! That means spring will be here soon. Not soon enough for me! LOL

I’ve been reading a lot and working a lot and nothing much new has happened since last week. Except I got a lot of new books!

As I type this, I’m watching my dog and cat play on the area rug. What a pair.

I inherited my cat, Sheba, from my sister when she passed away earlier this year.

Quigley, my dog, I inherited many years ago when someone dumped him in my yard.

They are both black as night and getting up there in age.

Sometimes I think Quigley is the boss and sometimes I think Sheba is. I guess they work that out between themselves.

animals 125

You can’t see it in the photo, but Sheba isn’t de-clawed so Quigley is looking a little wary right now. They are so funny.

Sheba isn’t allowed outside but every now and then she slips out and Quigley will rush over and herd her back inside. And whenever Quigley goes to the back door. which is glass, and sits down to look outside, Sheba sits right next them. The only thing that moves is her tail. LOL

When I first got Quigley, I also had another dog I’d taken in, a golden retriever/greyhound mix we called Lassie. We called them the ghost and the darkness as she was almost white and he was pitch black. At night you couldn’t even see Quigley in the backyard, but Lassie glowed. I had to put her to sleep when she got an incurable fungus that water dogs get. Quigley was lost without her, but eventually he started eating and playing again. When my sister moved in from California, she brought two black cats, Sheba and Shasta. We had to put Shasta down because of old age. Now that Sheba has lost my sister, I think they are good for each other.

How about you? Got any best friends like these? Are you a cat person or a dog person or both?

It’s been a strange week for me. Nothing stands out but I just felt off.

Maybe it’s the post holiday blues.

One thing that’s helped is reading. A lot of it. I’m into so many different genres right now and found some new authors to follow. I’ve also picked up some new Netgalleys.

There’s something that I’ve been curious about. How do you choose the books you purchase? I mean besides already having read the author.

Do you go by the reviews? If so, do you focus mainly on the 4 and 5 star ones? Or do you like a mixed bag of good and bad ones?

What catches your attention first? Is it the title? The cover art?

Just wondering:)

The holidays are over. It seems like we wait forever for them to get here, and then they are gone in a flash.

I’m spending this weekend taking down the decorations, organizing and putting them away and doing a cleaning before I put my regular stuff back out.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and safe and happy New Years.

Are any of you doing any reading challenges this year?

I’ve started my Goodreads Challenge again.

Here is last years.

2014 Goodreads Challenge

 I’d read 125 books and read 188. That’s150% percent towards my goal!

And I’ve set a slightly higher goal for 2015 with 130 books.

2015 Reading Challenge
You have read 4 of 130 books

3%
3 books ahead of schedule

As much as I devour books, I’m sure I’ll blow this years challenge out of the water too. But I’m really going to be

concentrating on reviewing so it might slow me down.

And I’m eying these two challenges also. They could work with my Goodreads Challenge and look fun.

alphabet 2015

This one is hosted by Lori at Escape With Dollycas and looks like a fun challenge.

And this one should be fun as I do love my horror!

Cornerfolds

Hosted by Tracy at Cornerfolds.

I’m also looking at some others and not sure yet which ones I might do.

How about you? Are you doing any reading challenges?

This is Zombie Month on my blog and I’ll be sneaking zombie pics into all of my posts. Keep your eye out!
