Every artist draws something special from their work. This something is unsurpassed by anything else in the artist’s life, be it a day job, relationships, joy from food or any other basic pleasure that, for non-artists, is the highest point in their lives. For a killer, the most fulfilling thing is murder. Obliterating another person’s... Continue Reading →

“Eclipse” by Kat Kinney
‘For the love of all that’s fanged and holy’, I confess that I’m totally addicted to the Blood Moon, Texas Shifters series by Kat Kinney. It is my comfort read, and I can’t get enough of it.

Kacey Kells tells about her almost perfect “before” life with the ingenuousness of youth. Her thoughts are so pure that you feel helpless fury that this purity... Continue Reading →
