About this author

Carrie Clevenger landed in the urban fantasy genre when she couldn't decide between horror and humor. When not writing she enjoys listening to music, hanging out with musicians, attending local venues, catching her favorite bands on tour, and obsessing over The Next Big Album release. Carrie resides in Austin, Texas.

Perfect. Deeply-layered, gritty, horrific...screw all you think are the reading rules and just enjoy a great story.
Beneath The Skin by Amy Lee Burgess
Beneath The Skin
by Amy Lee Burgess (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
This book is not formulaic romance with graphic scenes of unbridled lust, but there is a definite sense of separate character for every person. Amy's shifters are a little different than I've seen, with a very nicely drawn alternative universe surrou...more

I have to say, this book surprised me with the sequence of events. Once I started and was about 20% into the story, I knew I was in it for the long haul.

“I'll even let her tie me to a chair if it'll make her feel better.”
Carrie Clevenger, Just My Blood Type

“Her gaze follows my every move. I think she can feel something is weird but hasn’t put her finger on it yet. Maybe she’s seen my fangs and written them off as gimmick. I fucking love gimmicks. They’re so convenient to hide behind.”
Carrie Clevenger, Just My Blood Type

“Call it fate--call it talent. I had a knack for getting in the nastiest messes.”
Carrie Clevenger, Crooked Fang

“It's better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you're not. It's a sign of your worth sometimes, if you're hated by the right people.”
Bette Davis

“I'll even let her tie me to a chair if it'll make her feel better.”
Carrie Clevenger, Just My Blood Type

“Her gaze follows my every move. I think she can feel something is weird but hasn’t put her finger on it yet. Maybe she’s seen my fangs and written them off as gimmick. I fucking love gimmicks. They’re so convenient to hide behind.”
Carrie Clevenger, Just My Blood Type

“And he thought how in all the cases he'd solved the heart of crime seemed closer to his waking dreams than his own shadow and that men killed as easily over the momentary wavering of a perception as they did over the endless torturing of their souls.

'Apostle Rising.'

They consoled themselves with the merciless beauty of rattlesnakes. They felt their ruined lives run on within them like scars.

'New Bag.'

Misery is endurable. It’s happiness that tricks us, offering an unwelcome glimpse into who we really are.

'Lunch With Bella'.

Love is the most dangerous force on the planet, not hate. More atrocious acts are perpetrated in its name than in the name of all the other gods that govern human behaviour.
For in its hallway of mirrors lie the thousand images of yourself you burned and burn to be and those who know how to caress those silent places steal in there and lie drinking the fresh blood from your soul.

'The Children Of Other Men.”
Richard Godwin

“She put Randy Travis on the CD player and sang at the top of her lungs. She found that the wine bottle made an excellent fake microphone and she wondered if anyone would love her forever and ever, amen.”
Melissa Ecker, Pull the Trigger
