A dark force is wreaking terror on Toronto. Former homicide detective, now private investigator, Vicki Nelson teams up with writer Henry Fitzroy, vampire and the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, to track down the source of the attacks.

Book One in the Blood Books series. Great for those who like supernatural crime stories. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It‘s been years since the first time I read this. I had fun revisiting this world.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is an interesting book about psychic vampires and the vampire community and culture. Includes some exercises for energy work.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a great collection of stories. My favorites are Night Calls the Green Falcon and Blue World. I look forward to checking out more books by this author.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fun story about a woman wanting to get revenge on her cheating husband. Good for a light read.

This was a pretty decent gothic tale; creepy and atmospheric. I like how the story unfolded along three different timelines. #ReadSpooky2022

“Oh, you can‘t help that,” said the Cat. “We‘re all mad here.”

It was fun revisiting this classic again. 🐇

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. Watching movies, listening to music, diamond art, puzzles, baking, writing, dabbling in art when I‘m in the mood.

2. Yes, but I only write book reviews on Litsy for now.

3. My couch.

#WondrousWednesday

1. Nothing in particular. This month I started reading unread books I‘ve had for years and rereading books I haven‘t read in years.

2. No, it‘s too distracting. I bought earplugs just for blocking out the neighbor‘s music when I‘m reading.

#WeekendReads

Thanks for the tag @Ddzmini

1. Not from reading, usually if I watch an adaptation. I mostly dream about TV and film characters and plots. Recently I‘ve had some creepy dreams with Ralph from The Outsider.

2. The Eye of the World, The Hobbit, Stephen King‘s It and Pet Sematary. I‘ve read these at least five times.

3. Write, focus more on reading, declutter around the house.

#WondrousWednesday

I didn‘t quite reach my goal. I caught the husband‘s cold and it‘s had me tired and sluggish since Friday. I did manage to finish The Neverending Story, but only read one more chapter of The Bird Eater.

#20in4 #Readathon

1. I don‘t vacation often, but when I do I make sure I take a small stack of books with me.

2. I didn‘t have a Kindle last time I took a vacation. I took two horror novels and a poetry book with me. I get homesick when I‘m away so I actually prefer the comfort of physical books.

I tag @QuietlyLaura @PageShifter @WJCintron and anyone else who wants to join in.

#Two4Tuesday

My current goal is to finish these two books over the weekend, then start on my May TBR.

#ReadSpooky2022 #20in4 #Readathon

This is an interesting and informative book, exploring different types of werewolves, shapeshifting beliefs and legends from different cultures, accounts of werewolf sightings, and scientific theories supporting their existence. Great book for anyone interested in werewolf lore.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#20in4 #Readathon

‘In the snow-covered forest the beast lifts his heavy head. He kills and is unkillable. He is beautiful and horrific. He is the fear and the power, the envy and the magic and the desire. And he has come home to claim his place at last...‘

This is my third time reading this and it is my absolute favorite werewolf novel. The beautiful imagery Lee‘s writing invokes is amazing. This is a dark fairytale with a little blend of horror.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my first time reading this since early high school years. I didn‘t remember much of the story until I was reading it again. I‘m glad I revisited this as an adult as I probably have a better understanding of its importance now than I did as a young teen. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My goals for the weekend are:

▪️Finish reading Werewolves
▪️Read The Silent Companions
▪️Finish reading Deconstructed on Kindle
