    Oh, beautiful Orlando.

    DRACULA: Hearts of Stone This MIGHT be a little like Dracula if written by J. K. Rowling. It’s a place where magic and vampires interweave for an exciting adventure.
    A tale of magic, romance and fangs.
    We start with a shiny new pot of boiling water and add too many evil vampires, and not enough of the good biters. Toss in one suicidal Dracula; add a cup of mayhem and a dash of romance. Oh yes, and a pinch of mirth. Stir lovingly and you have a new novel by A. J. Gallant. If it sounds like the recipe for you then you must read Dracula: Hearts of Stone.

    OR

    "Madman in the Mirror" is a story about a man - Henry Johnson - who is raised by a psychopath and forced to watch - even as a baby - his father murder people on a regular basis. He is also abused and brainwashed, turning him into a sociopath. Henry stalks and murders people efficiently - he tells himself that he may be a killer, but he doesn't want people to suffer. He is haunted by hallucinations, including a specter in his mirror that talks to him.
    “A.J. is a master at creating word images that remain with the reader long after the book is finished.” Richard S. Friedman

    Oh that's great! Yeah, I can see how the kids would like it. You should really try "Compound", that was really good!

    Not quite as much--but I still enjoyed it. When I have kids who have finished the Cirque du Freak series, this is one that I've started sending them to. A lot of my district's librarians did NOT like the first book...what did you think?

    I'm also a fan of Melissa M and think Darkest Mercy ended the series really well. Am sure you'll love it. Her first adult title, Graveminder, is also worth waiting for.

    Holly Black Series: I'm just finishing up Ironside and loved the series, but I didn't read the second in the series. I've also read her two graphic novels, Good Neighbor I & II. That's what got me hooked on whole faery thing.

    Dara, THANK YOU! I really figured this book was all about liking James -- if you liked James, you'd like the book. If you hated him, you'd hate it.

    I know...I change the photos for two reasons...one of the groups does a monthly avi contest so it is fun to try and find whatever it is for the month and then I change them accoriding to how I am feelling. LOL! This month, I am feeling a little vampy. :)

    I think that Graceling will be good. Veronica swap books and since I really wasn't that fear into it and we had to swap, I gave it to her so I will pick it up again in the next few weeks. I love your books...they are always a nice switch to my current addiction. LOL!

    Hey Wom! Ok so I bought Graceling for Veronica and I to read...I started it last night, only a couple of chapters in but I am just curious...does it take a bit to get into it? I like it but it seems slow? :)
