Book Trailers ^_^
What's better than an amazing blurb? An even more amazing book trailer. I have seen quite a few that I love. So I'm going to share them with you just 'cause I love you :) If you love a trailer and I don't publish it, Please share it so that it can be included on here. I would really appreciate it and I'm sure others would too :)
Night Marchers - Rebecca Gober and Courtney Nuckels
I was introduced to this on my Facebook page. The blurb won me over and I had already bought the Kindle Edition for PC. Then this video was posted on my wall. I love it. And the song is an amazing addition :)
I can't wait to read it :D
A Season of Eden by Jennifer Laurens
Okay how many of you has ever had a crush on a teacher? Come on don't deny it. Most of us have at one point. I won this in one of Jennifer's giveaway's a few months ago. As soon as it arrived I put my other book I was reading on hold 'cause I couldn't wait to get stuck into this. I finished it the same day just because it is purely awesome :D :D The video is perfect too. :)
Okay Youtube had a bit of a Bitch Fit then but I think I'm back up and running again :)
Elixir by Hilary Duff
Ok, I know I'm not the only person who had doubts about this right? But in all honesty, I was sceptic when I saw who wrote it... but as soon as I read the blurb I didn't care. I just wanted it. And now I'm in love with the Elixir series and I want more and more and more.... Oh and more of Sage :)
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Just seen this trailer for the first time. I bought it as a present for my good friend and now I'm thinking... Why hadn't I kept it for myself??? This is moving up my Wishlist so fast right now ^_^
Deborah Noel- Tangled Blood Lines
This just got posted on my FB page and it looks awesome. Can't wait to read it :) Been added to my Wish List on Amazon. It's a surprise that thing isn't full yet. :) Enjoy ^_^
This is the video for the Second Vampire Legacy book by Dawn Gray. For some reason I can't get the video up so I'll just post the link for now then hopefully I'll be able to do it later :)

Paranormal-Type Songs :)
Turning Page- Sleeping At Last. Taken from Breaking Dawn Part 1 OST. One of my more favourite songs on the album, even though I pretty much love the whole thing :) I gotta admit it's a pretty haunting soundtrack and may even be my favourite of the 4 albums :) I really would love your input. Some of your fave songs that you think would be perfect for a Paranormal Romance movie/Tv series. There will be more added over time 'cause I got quite a few in mind :)
The Rasmus- Ten Black Roses Taken from one of my all time fave albums. Black Roses. Lauri Ylónen has got such a beautiful voice which makes this song even better :)
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Now I know some of you (especially younger) are probably looking at this and thinking OMG not Johnny Cash. But this song, even though it's a cover. Mr Cash makes it his own and he sings it with so much emotion that I literally have tears in my eyes or rolling down my cheeks whenever I listen to it. It's haunting and beautiful and I think it deserves to be on the list. I fell in love with his music about 7 years ago (16 years old) and still people take the p*ss. But I'm a huge Cash fan and PROUD :D So take a listen, even if you're not into this genre. You may be surprised :)
And what a man. I would have loved to have had the honour to meet this man :)
February 26 1932- September 12 2003
Eminem - Space Bound
Well, I've been an Eminem fan since the age of about 9. Pssh please. He was blonde, bad and just plain beautiful. I can always remember having a smack on the back of my head from a friend while I sang one of his most obscene songs on a church trip with my headphones in. I was pretty sure I was kinda quiet but quite the opposite ;) Anyways, as he sang about killing his wife and mother, his pure adoration for his daughter. He then went down hill but now he's back, in such a huge way. And Space Bound proves that. I think it shows a softer side to the bad boy we all know and love. Space Bound is just a stunning song. I think it would fit pretty well in a Paranormal Romance :)
Kelly Clarkson - Beautiful Disaster
I Love Love Love Kelly Clarkson. Everything about her. Always have. With this one. Even the title screams Paranormal to me. Such a beautiful song. Have a listen :)
Anastacia - Heavy on My Heart
Again I Love Anastacia. This being my all time favourite song of her's. Fantastic video too. Probably one of the things I really love about it :) I think it would fit quite nicely in a Paranormal Romance. Do you? :)
Blink 182- I Miss You
Blink 182, to me were these 3 crazy guys singing about random stuff, fighting, and troublesome. Then they made this song. Completely out of Blink 182 character. The video, melody is nothing like them but still we continue to fall deeper in love with them.. Well I do :P It's a stunning song and you will easily fall in love with it :)
Shinedown- The Crow & The Butterfly
When I first heard this song all I could think of was "The lion and the lamb". Pretty similar if you ask me. :) There's not one song I don't love by Shinedown. They never fail to impress me... Especially this one (and also check out Second Chance and If You Only Knew. Both really amazing) This song oozes Paranormalcy (I know it's a book but I think it's the best word to describe it.) Have a listen :)
Three Days Grace- Animal I Have Become
Everytime I hear this I think of a Newbie Vamp or Werewolf. Changing for the first time. Trying to quench the thirst of human blood or vampire blood if you're a Wolf ;) And the singer (Adam Gontier) is totally rocking the perfect look to maybe play a lead in a Paranormal Romance. What do you think? ;)
Seether ft Amy Lee - Broken
Argh Why haven't I already put this up. Normally this would be one of the first ones I would pick when choosing something to represent a Paramormal Romance. :)
I used to sing this every second of every single day. It was by far one of my favourite songs when it first came out :) Losing your soul mate? I'm not sure but... Same with Johnny Cash - Hurt. Everytime I listen to them I'm sure my heart breaks a little :')
The Rasmus- Ten Black Roses Taken from one of my all time fave albums. Black Roses. Lauri Ylónen has got such a beautiful voice which makes this song even better :)

REVIEWS :D
*******MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*******
Ever since the death of her parents at the age of 17, Cassie has been dreaming about a dark haired man. He always comes to her in times of trouble to comfort her and help her through the toughest of days. But now after the devastating break up with her boyfriend, Cassie struggles with separating reality from her dreams.
During a trip to her family beach house, her dream man becomes her lover and Cassie finds herself longing for this man to be in her life. But trying to find out the truth about him leaves her questioning her very existence and sanity.
She is convinced her dream man is real and connected to a string of macabre murders over the last 20 years. Fearing for her life, Cassie prays she is right about him and that he can save her before it is too late.
I had won a Paperback copy of The Man of My Dreams on Gladys Quintal's Facebook page. It was already in my to read list so I was very eager to read it. Desperate even. I picked it up in the morning thinking to myself I would just read a chapter or two just to give myself a taster until the evening where I could continue it whilst led in bed listening to the wind and rain. But the two chapters led to another two, which got up to 143 before I had to put it down again. Which I hated. I was engrossed in every single page. I lingered on every single word. I needed to read more and fast so I fed my addiction with a chapter here and there, sneaking off to get caught up in Cassie's life. Her dream man was perfect. Who wouldn't want a vigilante vampire seducing them? I think the world would be a much better place with them around. :) I liked how everyone had a place in the story. The story was told by all the character's so you knew how they were feeling in their situation. I loved how the dream guy came to Cassie. And how he had stuck around keeping an eye on her for so long. I also like the sinister characters. Yes, this is my crazy self talking. The sweet maniac that you would never suspect in a Million years. But I also love when they get taken down :) Everything in the book played out in my mind as if I was really living it. I imagined how sexy the dream guy looked in dream land and how hideous he looked in reality. The criminals that lurk in the shadows then being torn to shreds.
I would recommend this book to everyone. It is very raunchy in places so maybe age 16+. I really enjoyed every single page of the book, probably why I finished it within hours. Probably the least amount of time I have ever taken to read a book, so it is worth the read :D
I give it a solid 5 Stars. Congratulations Gladys I look forward to reading more of your work in the future :D
In Dreams is about a girl named Katherine Johns who starts dreaming about a guy she has no clue who he is. All she knows is that he makes her feel all kinds of love. After telling her college roommate Taylor about the "Dream Guy", Taylor makes it her mission to scope out any guy that could actually be him.
I started reading In Dreams about 3 days ago. Not used to reading from the screen of my laptop I soldiered on through headaches and blurred vision.
First off, the characters. Taylor especially. I loved how honest she was. And equally crazy as her boyfriend Danny. Who were absolutely perfect for eachother. There wasn't really one character I didn't like apart from Kylie in a few places. The love between both couple and dream guy spewed out from every page. I felt my heart break and warm whenever Katherine's did in the book. It was so well written I felt like I was side by side with all of them walking through their lives. Also what I loved about "In Dreams" was how you know what everyone is thinking. Everyone has their own opinion and point of view in the book so you know how they are seeing it.
I literally had to wipe the tears of joy and heartache every 15 minutes.
I would highly recommend this book to everyone!!! It is a beautiful story that is easily enjoyable and I give it a 5/5. Well done J Sterling for writing a wonderful piece. I just hope I can dream up a guy as good as Cooper or Austen ;)
Until I Die
