What's new...may not be the same ole stuff
I just recently read a book by one of my favorite writers. At first I was expecting the same of her wit that I'd come to love and respect. How shocked I was when I made it through the first chapter. Immediately I realized that the publishers must have changed her editor. Needless to say something was missing. I tried to continue...but I couldn't. So... I'm throwing this out into the void. Beware. When you switch a formula...you might not get the same recipe.

Paranormal Saga's
What makes a good romance using paranormal as the backdrop? Personally I think the use of contemporary as well as fantasy can make an interesting romance. By using the tried and true. Vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters and an assortment of make believe beings created during the time of Frankenstein and the Swamp Thing. Romance can be found in any creepy formate. The key lies within the writer and their imagination. While it is true...paranormal isn't for every romance novice. But those who enjoy this genre understand like me. There is something to be said for fantasy. Paranormal romance is Fiction at its best.

Vampire Academy
I'm not big on series specifically targeted to youth. However, if the story is well written; I'm not opposed to reading something new. After reading the first three books of the Vampire academy series, I was hooked. Unfortunately, the books that followed didn't live up to my expectations. I'm still willing to give this writer the opportunity by not bailing on the series altogether. If you haven't read this series, I do recommend that you do. As I said. I can't vouch for the last two books in the series, but the first three are well written and worth following.
