Growing up, Darcy knew that life would be filled with challenges and tough decisions, but none so difficult as the one that would alter her future forever. Given the choice between losing Mason or becoming a vampire, Darcy risks the overwhelming threat of insanity, and places her destiny, her hopes and dreams, in the hands of Devlin. When she survives the conversion and shows how truly strong she is, everyone thinks that the worst is behind them. It’s time to get back to normal—or their new normal—and live happily ever after.
But danger still lurks within the shadows—both in Woodside Hollow, the supernatural community, and within Darcy. Even though she looks fine, she seems “altered” to those closest to her, something beyond the expected consequences of her dual nature. With reports of dark rituals  and blood sacrifices being performed, the Council has their hands filled trying to solve that mystery, leaving Mason scrambling to find out what’s wrong with his mate.
Will the imbalance warring within Darcy eventually settle, or will her decision to become part vampire-part werewolf lead to a SAVAGE POSSESSION?

Is Everything really fair in Love and War? by Ranu Das







“My dear Revolution,


                   I hope you are well, sound of your mind and enjoying your days and nights. I know, many of your questions remained unanswered and one such question is „Why did I disappear suddenly after a stupid quarrel with you?‟ Isn‟t it? Yes, it was a meaningless and useless quarrel to me also, as it was to you, but the things started wrong even before. Do you remember the night; we were together in my room? Don‟t waste your time in advocating who was faulty for what happened between us but try to remember how much you changed since then.

If I am not wrong, you never loved me. You started with me flirting over phone and then sharing the kitchen but still you never loved me. And your decision of marrying me was nothing but the sympathy towards me. I know, you got emotional first after knowing about my family and then about Sumit‟s betrayal to me. And ultimately when the cancer grabbed me, you decided to help poor Parul by marrying her but then also you were confused about your decision. You may love me from your brain, by your body but never from the heart.

I loved you very much and shared everything with you even my bed but your love hurt me more than Sumit‟s betrayal.

I had promised myself that I would not contact you any day but I did because I am again on chemotherapy, my cancer was never gone, it is now at its second stage. Doctors said nothing but I am sure that I have almost finished my journey but a month or two more. I am done.

Still I love you Mr. Revolution and so I don‟t want you to compromise with your life, you marry a beautiful girl but remember, this time you make a hearty relation.

And lastly, you can‟t find me out and even don‟t try because if you search me, you will get a heartless and frozen body only, not Parul.

Be happy forever and live a prosperous life.


With love,

Your Parul”

Found in you by K. L. RUSE


 


Twenty-three-year-old Camryn Singer never imagined that she would return to the place where she lost everything. To grant a dying wish, she moves back to the small Jersey beach town where she grew up, hoping to somehow find the missing pieces of her life. Determined to keep her wounds unopened and her heart guarded, she instead slams head-first into Cole Stevens.

Sexy surfer Cole has always used the waves to numb the pain of his past. But when he runs into Camryn on the beach one day, he wants nothing more than for her to heal his scars and light the spark back in his life.

Will Camryn and Cole be ripped apart when the ghosts from their pasts come back to life, or will they discover that it’s not until you’re lost, that you can be found?  



About K.L. Ruse

I am a middle school teacher who recently traded in my chalk for a laptop to follow my dream of writing contemporary romance novels. I live with my husband and two daughters in the suburbs of Philadelphia. When I'm not writing, I spend my time reading and relaxing with my family at my home-away-from-home, the Jersey shore.

After I graduated from Villanova University in 2003, I never imagined my path would lead me in this direction.  Writing was a hobby, an outlet for me to live in a world of happily ever after.  Now as I watch my dream become a reality, I believe that happy endings do exist.

Love @ Facebook (A review)




While looking for a novel on love this Valentine's day I came across "love @ Facebook" by Nikita Singh.
Before going into the book, I wondered about the title. It's catchy and obviously 'How apropos!' Love starts at MTV and ends up at Facebook. Vatsala being not an exception fell for look, body and humour of Ronit Oberoi who is a VJ.
When you read all the facebook chats, it just gives you the pleasure of reading your friends' inbox secretly. Really, it feels like chat.
I guess, author tried to say that celebrities are celebrities and we should not run after them rather concentrate on one who really cares for you.
And needless to say, you will discover many words which are trending on facebook these days like 'kewl'. It's actually 'cool'.
About language? it's simple and well presented.
Though I did not find any line or paragraph to quote for you from the book, it's readable. It's simply a story. A love story.
Talking about cover page, it's simply awesome. overall I liked the book.
 Lastly, to Boys, you will like the photo (author's) on the back cover for sure. Smiling and confident Nikita is a voracious reader having interest in literature.

Love you Hasina. But I am Hindu…. (Review of the novel “Tales from a vending machine” authored by Anees Salim )




It’s a book in simple English, well narrated by the author through a young- Muslim-girl. Yes, these are the three words the author wanted us to focus upon.

He starts with the day to day stories of Hasina Mansoor at the airport and her vending machine which follows her order and fills a cup with tea when red button is pushed. And it ends up with diary entries by her.

Unlike other girls, Hasina Mansoor, the vending machine operator at the international airport departure lounge was determined, ambitious, confident and self dependent. A girl generally finds difficult to maintain even herself but Hasina also looks after her family. She even thinks of the whole Muslim community. She hates Juice and America because they hate muslim. She supports Saddam. So, before you start reading better know about Saddam, America and Israel and while you read decide you are from which side America or Hasina Mansoor. In Hasina’s words, “You know why the Americans showed the hanging on television? They were simply revenging; it was their yelling at all Muslims in the world: You watched the collapse of our nice little trading centre. Now you watch the death of your hero. Bloody Muslims. I hated America….”

She is not communal because she cried at Natasha’s death. This is what made me fall for Hasina.

All the characters Hasina is related to in the novel look like to be from your neighbour. Haji Osman, Eza, Subair uncle, Shamla!

And narration is so simple and lively that you may confuse author as female what actually I did. I thought Anees Salim was good name of Hasina. All the expressions described in the novel are keen and lively.

Besides, the novel is full of antics. At every point, you will find Hasina’s activities surreptitious. Even at the end, she acts in a surreptitious way to her family. Oh, I forgot to tell you her love story. She loves from heart and when I reached middle of the novel I found myself envious of Eza but soon I remembered neither I am Muslim nor anyway related to Natasha.

At the end, author compels you to think of all the characters, not only Hasina Mansoor. All of them leave impressions in your mind but Hasina in your heart. Really it’s a darkly humorous and touching story.  Love you Hasina. But I am Hindu…..
