Book Blurb:

The most famous introduction in the history of crime fiction takes place in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet”, bringing together Sherlock Holmes, the master of science detection, and John H. Watson, the great detective’s faithful chronicler. This novel not only establishes the magic of the Holmes myth but also provides the reader with a dramatic adventure yarn which ranges from the foggy, gas-lit streets of London to the burning plains of Utah.

My Thoughts:

It was in A Study in Scarlet that Arthur Conan Doyle first introduced to the world’s most well known fictional detective – Sherlock Holmes. Not only do we get to meet Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, but we get …

Book Blurb:

HE’S MY TEACHER. I SHOULDN’T BE ALONE WITH HIM. BUT I CAN’T HELP THAT HE’S IRRESISTIBLE.I let the door silently close at my back. He stared at me, and a taut quiet stretched between us.“I like hearing you play,” I said, moving toward him.He turned, in sync with my slow approach. He looked up at me but didn’t say anything. I rested my clammy hand on the cold, slick body of the baby grand. “May I?”The muscles in his throat shifted, then he swallowed. “Eden.”My knees weakened, like a soft tickling kiss had just been blown against …

All YA Love: Guestpost by Author Lauren Hammond

We are constantly offered so many choices in our everyday lives. We have opportunities to decide what we want out of life. But what if you weren’t given a choice? What if the life you are leading was chosen for you?

That’s what happened to Cara Jones in Love Sucks. Cara never chose to be a vampire. That life was chosen for her.

When I began writing this novel, the first mental image I ever got of Cara Jones was her punching her fist through the lid of her coffin and the rest is history. I tried to put myself in …
