Summer reading!

My only excuse for not being current on this blog is that I have been reading, reading and reading! Oh yes, and being a mommy. There for a while I was on a mission to read all the Stephen King books I had so wrongfully missed out on over the years. Truly I was a fanatic. I gobbled them up with a gusto. All the while with a slightly crazy gleam in my eye, like the veriest addict. For anyone who has read the master, you know exactly what I mean, and are likewise thrilled with the experience! We shall explore all those lovely novels later.
I would like to start my return to you with an author I hadn't read until a few weeks ago. Her name is Lynn Viehl, and she is very creative. The first book I read was Shadowlight. In the first nineteen pages I found myself not only hooked, but emotionally involved. Few and far between are the stories that actually make me verbalize my feelings, and I can tell you crying out "Nooo.." in the middle of a waiting room is rather embarrassing. The story goes on to tell us of a young woman named Jessa Bellamy and her unusual abilities. She is part of a special group of people that have been altered by vampire DNA. The bad guys are a monster corporation called Genhence masquerading as good guys. The good guys are hiding dark secrets and talents of there own. Poor Jessa is taken by Gaven Matthias so he can protect her from Genhence, help her deal with the past and find a safe future. Miss Viehl did a wonderful job of not only weaving an exciting plot with vivid characters, but also whetted my appetite for her other stories.
Dreamveil was the next book of her's I read. It follows one of the characters from Shadowlight and leads into another highly adventurous tale. This time Genhence isn't the only one after our heroine Rowan Dietrich and not even the worst. She deals with two love interests, a dark past fraught with nightmarish memories and a young homeless girl she can't seem to help. I felt like getting up and kicking some butt with Rowan. Of course I don't have any vampire DNA. Nor do I have other Kyndred, as these special people are called, looking out for me from afar. Once again by the end of the book I found myself looking forward to finding out more about these Kyndred and the very intriguing characters they make. If you like anything to do with vampires, fast paced tales of love and deception, secret groups with agendas or just plain love a great story then check out these books by Lynn Viehl. I promise they're worth it.
Well I must be off. Lots more great books to find and read.
