Mel's Review #3

**Mel's Review**
Original Sin
The Alexandra Jones Series
by: Samantha Towle




Original Sin is book two in the Alexandra Jones series, the sequel to First Bitten.

Alex has run. Leaving everything she knows and loves … Nathan, behind. She’s a fugitive; hiding from the Original Vârcolacs who want to claim her for themselves.

Hiding in Italy, she has changed her identity and her appearance; working in a coffee shop in the quiet town of Sassano.

Then Zeff steps into her life. He’s solid, sturdy, but more so he’s human – he’s someone real, tangible, a friend throwing her a lifeline in a world of loneliness.

Believing she's safe from attack, nothing prepares Alex for what's lurking in the woods, on her doorstep, intoxicating her into a web of control and deceit.

Danger is closer than her shadow ... the hunt is on again, forcing Alex into the hardest dilemma yet.


Mel's Review:
All I can say is wow! I sat down and said I was going to read a few chapters and here I am finishing the book in one sitting. Samantha has done it again and I feel like she has really found these characters. They are as real and alive as someone you can walk up to on the street. I found myself once again getting so emotionally wrapped up in Alex and Nathan's story that at points I wished I could grab them both and shake some sense into them! How can you not love Nathan but Zeff....I had read in other reviews there was a story twist with him and I still didn't see that one coming! I absolutely can not wait to see how Alex will end up sussing this all out in the end and am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.  :)     Rating 5 stars




The standard stuff...

I started writing seriously in 2008 while on maternity leave with my son. I completed my first novel in five months, and I haven't stopped writing since! I have two novels released through Night Publishing, 'The Bringer' and my most recent 'First Bitten'.


I can't write a single word without listening to music. I listen to Kings of Leon, Adele, One Republic, The Doors, Muse, Oasis, Fleetwood Mac, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey to name a few.


I was born in Hull. I graduated from Salford University in 2002 with a BSc (Hons) in Business and Marketing. I now live in East Yorkshire with my husband Craig, son Riley and daughter Isabella.


The not so standard...

I burn myself cooking on average at least once a week

I have weird phobias. Clowns and Jelly

I was 27 the first time I flew on a plane

I dip my fries in my milkshake

I somehow have never broken a bone, which is amazing seen as though I can barely put one foot in front of the other

I passed my driving test first time

I crashed my car a month after having my license

I have zero sense of direction

I hate geography, because I'm no good at it

I believe in karma and reincarnation

I read weirdly fast

I have a really loud laugh

And I talk way too much

I decided to use a picture of my very own parrot, Poppy to display my thought for today.

Mel's Review #2

**Mel's Review**


Kiss the Dead
by: Laurell K. Hamilton



When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she does, she’s faced with something she’s never seen before: a terrifyingly ordinary group of people—kids, grandparents, soccer moms—all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master. And where there’s one martyr, there will be more…
But even vampires have monsters that they’re afraid of. And Anita is one of them…
Mel's Review:                            
Let it be said that I adore Laurell K Hamilton and I have to date loved everything she has ever written. That being said Kiss the Dead was not my favorite Anita Blake book. The first half felt repetitive like I was reading the same descriptions over and over. I understand the need to go into some detail for new readers but it was the same descriptions of the same people continuously repeated. There was notably less sex and even the violence was a bit toned down for an Anita book. Even still I love the characters and the world she has created so I'm happy to have this story to read until the next one. Not the best book in the Anita series but still good and if you are a true fan of Laurell's work a must read just to get our "fix" of Anita's world.    Rating   3 stars



NY Times Bestselling author of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series & Merry Gentry series of paranormal thrillers.

I may not be as wise as the old owl, but I'm smart enough to tell the difference between the truth and a load of bullshit when I hear it...~KB
