Thirsty by Tracey Bateman

If I have to admit there is a “fictional monster” I’m fascinated with, it would be the vampire. I decided to participate in a blog tour for a series of books. A vampire included in a Christian Fiction book strikes me as strange. Read the book description below. Have you read this book yet?

Thirsty
by Tracey Bateman

"Hello, I’m Nina Parker.and I’m an alcoholic." For Nina, even in recovery, the truth of the declaration has demolished her hopes and condemned her to return to the town she ran away from nearly two decades earlier-Abbey Hills, Missouri. But the place she once called home is no safe haven. A ritualistic-style murder.

Animals disappearing from the Ozark reserve where Nina works, and turning up slaughtered. And someone-or some thing-watching Nina. Wanting her. Stalking her with a 250-year-old desire that burns like a raging wildfire.

Nina’s ex-husband Hunt shows up, hoping to protect Nina and Megan, the angry teenage daughter who followed her to Missouri. But another man has entered the picture, testing Nina as she attempts to walk the tightrope of recovery-and the power of thirst. Much more than Nina Parker’s love hangs in the balance. The battle between love and obsession is destined to unfold to its startling, unforgettable end.

NOTE FROM TY: I will be posting a review soon and also check out Touched by a Vampire.

BOOK REVIEW | Dark Pursuit

Dark Pursuit
by Brandilyn Collins

I have had the opportunity to read the Hidden Faces and Kanner Lake Series by Brandilyn Collins. Last November, she released a stand alone book, Dark Pursuit.

Darell Brooke is known as the "King of Suspense,” but right now living up to that name has become a struggle for the first time in his career. After ninety-nine books, he can barely keep his thoughts coherent long enough to string together a complete scene. His loss of memory and feeble attempts at writing have come as a result of a car accident that left his seventyish body changed forever. Darell is not the only one with issues. Seems he has a relative with even bigger issues.
