Booking It Back to Blog
I’m starting a new feature here on the old blog. On Mondays, I’ll be talking books–books I’ve read, books I want to read…everything books. So, on Mondays, feel free to post and tell me about the good books you’ve read or books that you’d like to read.
Today, I want to begin by giving a book shout to two fellow Bradford Lit authors. Vivi Anna and Anya Bast both have October releases–paranormals, so they are perfect for Halloween.
Vivi’s new book, VEILED TRUTH, is the third installment in the Valorian Chronicles (it’s available now!)–and, to celebrate the launch of the book, Vivi is running a cool contest over on her blog.
Here’s the blurb for VEILED TRUTH:
Five years ago, virginal Lyra Magice had fled powerful dhampir Theron LeNoir’s advances. But now an ancient text the dhampir possesses holds the key to solving murders that have plagued Necropolis. When another body is found and evidence points to the Mistress of the city, duty dictates that Lyra work with Theron—a man she regards as haughty, arrogant and immoral—to translate the symbols left at the crime scenes. But with their forced alliance comes darkly sensual dreams that leave her feeling wanton and achy….
Unwilling to reveal his dark past, the dhampir soon discovers that Lyra—a witch of great power—is to be the sacrificial virgin in a demonic scheme to open a portal to hell itself. Salvation will come only if Theron can win Lyra’s trust—and her heart.

Next up…vampires! Ah, but I have been wanting to read Anya Basta’s THE CHOSEN SIN ever since I first saw the gorgeous cover of this book.
Ready for the blurb?
In this sensuous and lust-filled otherworld, the Chosen are vampires fighting for their very existence.
It is Daria’s destiny to become one of them…
Daria Morris is a special forces agent with one obsession: to wreak vengeance on the brutal vampire who nearly destroyed her. Now she’s finally about to get her chance, on one condition. She must become something she detests: a vampire.
Her fate rests upon one man’s lethal bite. His name is Alejandro Martinez, and he can help her infiltrate a highly guarded group of the Chosen. But Alejandro is also a distraction for Daria. Because thirteen years ago, they shared a scorching night of passion neither has forgotten.
Now, while Daria struggles against her newfound bloodlust, the two must slip into the shadows to bring a monster to justice—even as their desire threatens to consume them. But under the cover of night, they’ll discover that it’s the darkness within that may stand in the way of their hunger for retribution…

THE CHOSEN SIN releases tomorrow–TOMORROW!
Two great paranormal reads…just in time to put you in a great paranormal mood for Halloween.
Tomorrow, I’ll be back to talk about my trip to Moonlight & Magnolias–with pics. 🙂
If you’ve got some Booking It info to post, please do! Happy Monday!
(Psst…I’m also blogging over at Divas of the Dark today. Talking about just why I love October. Are you an October lover, too?)

Chosen Sin has a fabulous color! Kind of reminds me of an old western mixed with paranormal — from the cover, anyway.
Cynthia, Just read Sharie Kohler’s Kiss of a Dark Moon and I loved it. Her Moon Chasers Series is fantastic!
Both covers are very, very nice. *G* I like the idea of Booking It Mondays! I’m always on the look-out for book suggestions. *G*
I can’t recommend the Valorian Chronicles enough. This series is really terrific. I have Veiled Truths, but haven’t read it yet. It’s next on the tbr shelf. I also liked a Superromance titled His Secret Past by Ellen Hartman.

Edie, I thought it looked kind of old west, too! The guy reminds me of a gunslinger. 🙂
Hi, Barb! Oh, I love that title. I’ll have to go to Amazon and look that one up!
Hi, Brandy! How was your weekend?
Linda, I’m glad to hear you like the Valorian Chronicles. I was so happy when the Nocturne line launched–it filled the hole that Silhouette Shadows had left for me.
