This is my own version of a bookhaul post where  I’ll be telling you about all of the books I got this week, whether print or e-book.

I got a few books this week, some free, some for review, and some I purchased just for my reading pleasure.

I also post reviews on another blog aknifeandaquill . It’s all about horror. If someone doesn’t die, we don’t do it here!

Here are some freebies I picked up to review on both blogs. Double exposure for the authors:)

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page.
•Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

My Teaser for today is from Captured by Erica Stevens

Captured (The Captive, #1)

goodreads-badge-add-plus

What was this girl to him? Why did she affect him so? What the hell was going on here?

He knew that he could not keep her happy, she did not belong here.This was not her place. This was not her world, and she would never be safe here.

Blood slaves were used, drained, tortured, and tossed away. They were not treasured, they were not taken care of, and they most certainly were not kept alive for extended periods of time.

What the hell was he going to do with her?

Having a great time and flying through this!

Past the halfway point and heading into the home stretch!

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!!

My Teaser

As we drove, the dashboard lights reflected off his intoxicating smile. I watched him intently, burning the image into my mind for future recollection. This would be my last year with the person I shared most of my firsts with – my first friend, my first bike ride, my first loose tooth…even my first kiss.

One word about this book ~ INTENSE!

I’m taking a wild guess at it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the author on the cover.

This book makes me think of that song, “These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!

Can’t wait to finish this and tell you about it!

Dead of Eve (Trilogy of Eve, #1)

His expression shuttered, fingers digging into his jean-clad thighs. He stared at me for a long time, carving away my anger. But I glared right back, willing him to understand. Then something changed. The air between us shifted, sizzled, charged.

He rose from the couch, stepped toe-to-toe with me, looking suspicious and gorgeous, smiling down at me.

Dead of Eve is the first chapter in a trilogy. Intense and engaging. I’m tearing through this one and excited to know there will be more!

Fanged Mania #8 ~ Female Vampires

To join in, copy and paste these rules and the above banner into your Fanged Mania post and add your link to this week’s Fanged Mania post at Elisabeth Wheatley’s Blog. Fanged Mania is a Friday meme counting down to the release of Fanged Princess and displaying all things vampire and awesome. Fanged Mania posts can be a review of a vampire book, a quote from the latest Vampire Diaries episode, a showcase of a cool vampire book’s cover, or whatever you like so long as it is vampire related. Don’t forget, participants will be entered in the drawing to win a fanged-abulous prize pack!

The prize pack I mentioned includes Vampire Diaries and Breaking Dawn posters as well as a paperback copy of Erica Steven’s Captured (my review here) and the complete collection of The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter stories by Jennifer Malone Wright, in paperback, too! =D

Oh, and the contest is international. And the more Fanged Mania posts you have, the more entries you get! So what are you waiting for? Hop on the bandwagon!

I thought I’d have a little fun with this post and show you some of my favorite Ladies of the Night!

Santanico Pandemonium ~ From Dusk Til Dawn

But this is what she really looks like!

Another vampire that really slithers so sensually is Akasha ~ Queen of the Damned

Never have I seen someone move like this!

And there’s the brides from VanHelsing

They’re not quite so sexy really!

.

There are so many more I could show you but then this post would be huge! I love Kate Beckinsale as Selene in the Underworld series. There’s Lucy and her twisted transformation in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Another I really enjoyed was  Sheryl Lee’s role as the prostitute, Katrina, in John Carpenter’s Vampires.

These ladies of the night are fascinating. But I still wouldn’t want to be one!

How about you? Do you have any favorites?

I was thinking about what to post today and vampire eyes popped in my head. They used to be glowing, then they were red and now they can be golden or even a piercing blue or green.

Here are some eyes I really like.
