![]() He’s also not interested in crashing his new car. Happy reading, book junkies! ♡ĭarius, son of Marklon, isn’t looking for love the night destiny comes to claim him. ![]() This will forever be a top recommendation from me, whether you’re into paranormal romances or not, because once you read even just one of these books, you will be hooked for life. So this is not a series of interconnected storylines, and you will feel lost if you read them out of order. ![]() And let me tell you, it was totally worth it!! Each book initially follows a different couple, but there is a common storyline that continues from one book to another, and as we move through the series, couples we’ve met already get additional books dedicated to their story arc. This is one of the most addictive series out there, so much so that when I first discovered it, I spent a whole week of my vacation cooped up in my room, devouring one book after another, instead of enjoying the gorgeous sights of a holiday destination that I now only remember from the four walls of my hotel room. If you’re into sexy, über-alpha heroes, who also happen to be badass vampires, there is nothing in the world quite like the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. ![]() And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Ward In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. READING GUIDE: Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Kwan relates this story in installments that alternate with Libby's narration, which stresses her impatience with Kwan's clinging presence. Despite herself, however, Libby is fascinated by the stories Kwan tells of her past lives, during one of which, in the late 1800s, she claims to have befriended an American missionary who was in love with an evil general. Kwan's younger half-sister Olivia (or Libby-ah, as Kwan calls her) is supremely annoyed by Kwan's habit of conversing with spirits and treats her with disdain. Kwan, who came to San Francisco from China when she was 18, remains culturally disjointed, a good-natured, superstitious peasant with a fierce belief that she has ``yin eyes,'' which enable her to see ghosts. Again grounding her novel in family and the workings of fate, Tan (The Kitchen God's Wife) spins the tale of two sisters, two cultures, and several acts of betrayal. ![]() ![]() ![]() Danielle is the author of the Merciless series and Survive the Night.

ONE OF ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S "BIGGEST AND BEST YA BOOKS OF THE SUMMER"įrom Danielle Vega, YA's answer to Stephen King, comes a new paranormal novel about dark family secrets, deep-seated vengeance, and the horrifying truth that evil often lurks in the unlikeliest of places.Ĭlean slate. ![]() ![]() ![]() While Baxter (the dog in Dear Beast) has elements of Mouse’s personality, he is not Mouse. The real Simon is the most vocal cat you’ll ever meet! ![]() Yes, the Kevan Atteberry who also illustrates this series! Simon from Dear Beast is not only named after my daughter’s cat, Simon he is Simon. That’s where Dear Beast began.īy the way, my daughter got her cat from my friend and critique buddy, Kevan Atteberry. I’m pretty sure he smelled the cat on her, and I started to imagine what he might say to the cat if he could talk to him. The first time she came over after she got her cat, Mouse would not leave her alone. He saw her through her teen years, then she moved out and eventually adopted a cat. Our daughter was fourteen when we adopted Mouse. Everything King thinks, says and does is exactly what I imagine Mouse would do in a similar situation. My dog Mouse didn’t just inspire these series. But I needed to write the Buddy Files to get to King & Kayla. ![]() Now that I’m eight books into the King & Kayla series, I think these dog-centered mysteries work better as early readers than they did as chapter books. King & Kayla is a prequel to the Buddy Files. Thus my 7-book Buddy Files series was born. Therapy dogs meet lots of people who have a variety of problems to solve. While I was training him to be a therapy dog, I realized a therapy dog could make a great character in a book or series of books. I wouldn’t have written the Buddy Files, King & Kayla or Dear Beast series if not for my dog, Mouse. ![]() ![]() ![]() I remember tying a shoestring around a flashlight, hanging it on the bar in my closet, and sitting in there reading encyclopedias. After that I wrote songs, poems, plays, and short stories. It felt powerful to create characters, places, and stories that began and ended the way I wanted them to. But I do remember what it felt like when I finished and read it. I think it was about a group of stray dogs trekking across the country to find a magic bone or something. My first attempt at writing a real story was in the fifth grade. ![]() I was raised in a single parent household by my mother, the lovely Miss Catherine Barnes, along with my big brother, Anthony, in Kansas City, MO. I wanted to be a football player, the next Sean Combs, or a rapper anything that would instantly provide me with the riches I would need to “move my mama off of the block”. I didn’t actually meet one until I attended college. I didn’t know any famous African American male authors.

Far From the Tree details in 12 sections what it is like to be a parent of an exceptional child, whether they are deaf, schizophrenic or transgender. The result of this decade-and-then-some of emotionally exhausting work has already won Solomon the National Book award in the US and, this week, the Wellcome book prize in London (I was one of the judges).
