And their off!
Gambling on horse racing is Kentucky’s number one sport but when Kentucky Derby Thoroughbred picked to win the Derby, Rails and Nails, ends up poisoned, SKUL special agent Mick Jasper and rookie witch Maggie Park, who keeps her witch powers a secret, are called in to investigate a world of illegal gambling where a run for the roses can prove to be deadly.

My Review: Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This was a great continuation to the series. The story took place around the Kentucky Derby, I love horses. I loved the continuation of the bickering between Maggie’s aunt and her neighbor. They just can’t get along. I enjoyed reading again about the smoking hot Mick Jasper. I see a relationship building up between Maggie and Mick. I was expecting a little more action throughout the book. The first book in this series had many scenes that got intense, but I didn’t feel it on this one. Hoping the third book has more action. Love the book cover. You nailed it Tonya!!

Synopsis:

What’s meant to be will always find a way.

Perfection isn’t an illusion.
I met it, held it in my hands.
But then it slipped right through.

Perfection isn’t an illusion.
It’s elusive, cleverly evasive, and, in many ways, a horrible tease.
 
I’m not a man to be toyed with.
Quiet, thoughtful, and even sometimes careful,
but never someone to taunt.
Even the most controlled men have a breaking point.
I just met mine.
 
Why mess with perfection?
You don’t.
Unless perfection messes with you.

This was such an epic event. To be able to meet not only the amazing R.L Stine but his book cover designer who created 100 of Stine’s book covers, was truly amazing. Stine and Jacobus talked about how they came about working with each other. Jacobus had a slideshow of a couple of his favorite covers and had a back story for each one. He even showed us one of the covers that was never used. This is Stine’s first graphic novel. I think he said this was either a 3 or 4 book series. If you love his books you will surely love this one.

A lavish look at the real world–both the secret history and the behind-the-scenes drama–of the spellbinding Emmy Award-winning Masterpiece TV series Downton AbbeyApril 1912. The sun is rising behind Downton Abbey, a great and splendid house in a great and splendid park. So secure does it appear that it seems as if the way it represents will last for another thousand years. It won’t.
 Millions of American viewers were enthralled by the world of Downton Abbey, the mesmerizing TV drama of the aristocratic Crawley family–and their servants–on the verge of dramatic change. On the eve of Season 2 of the TV presentation, this gorgeous book–illustrated with sketches and research from the production team, as well as on-set photographs from both seasons–takes us even deeper into that world, with fresh insights into the story and characters as well as the social history.

My Review 5 out of 5 stars

I would like to say that this book was mesmerizing and the images made me feel like I was a character in the film Downton Abbey. Loved how it uses history and culture in order to create a fascinating book that has vivid images of the film and of real life stories of the people who lived at Highclere Castle. My favorite part of the book was style, since I am a fashionista. I loved how women dressed back then. Yes, it was painful since they had to wear corsets, but dresses at that time were captivating. Our society now deems Jeans to be they style of the century. I feel like Highclere Castle was the perfect place to film Downton Abbey. The house is enormous with the feel of royalty. I also enjoyed the last chapter on this book about behind the scenes. I had no idea that the kitchen was not filmed at the castle. It would seem very difficult to have to do a scene and then cut and wait two weeks to finish the rest. I highly recommend you read this colorful book.

Author Biography

The Mitford Murders was my debut novel but my tenth book. I have written five official companion books to the television series Downton Abbey, which was created by my uncle, Julian Fellowes. These were guides to the making of the six series as well as explaining the social history context of the show. These books led to my international speaking career, touring America from coast to coast, talking to audiences of up to 2,500.

    I’ve also made numerous appearances on radio and television and am a contributor to a number of publications including The Daily Telegraph and Sunday Times Style.

   My career began at the Mail on Sunday as a celebrity interviewer and lifestyle editor, before going on to be Deputy Editor of Country Life magazine. There I wrote the weekly Town Mouse column as well as a townie’s guide to country weekends for The London Paper, the latter of which formed the basis of my first book, Mud & the City. 

    I live in Oxfordshire with my family and an energetic Labradoodle but remain a Londoner at heart, the place where my heels remain blissfully mud free.

Downton Abbey film will be released on September 20, 2019.

Melissa is a vampire; Derek is a vampire hunter.

When beautiful, sad Melissa Jones flees to New Orleans with her telepathic best friend, she is looking for a cure–not an erotic encounter with a sexy former Marine.

Derek Alexander left the military intending to become a private investigator, but with two powerful shifters as partners and an immunity to vampire glamour, he instead rose to the top in paranormal justice.

At a bar on Bourbon Street, Derek and Melissa cross paths, and their sexual chemistry is off the charts. Acting on their feelings, they are pulled deeper into an affair, but Melissa is hiding, hoping to escape her cruel maker.

It doesn’t take long before the shifters uncover her secret. Still, Derek is determined to confront the Old One and reclaim her mortality–even at the risk of losing his.

A STANDALONE PARANORMAL ROMANCE with an HEA based on characters from the One to Hold series. Contains voluptuous vampires, alluring alpha military heroes, scorching-hot shifters, beguiling witches, and panty-melting sexy times. Keep the fans nearby… Readers 18 and older only, please.

My Review 5 out of 5 stars

This was a very good vampire book. The interaction between Derek and Melissa made this book even more fun. I loved that the vampire hunter falls in love with a hybrid. It was unexpected, since he was very serious about capturing vampires. I also loved that the shifters were partners with Derek. It made the story line more interesting with more supernatural characters. I recommend you read this book. It has many hot sexy scenes. This story shows how love conquers all.

*THE SEQUEL TO THE HANDMAID’S TALE!*

In this brilliant sequel to THE HANDMAID’S TALE, acclaimed author Margaret Atwood answers the questions that have tantalized readers for decades.

When the van door slammed on Offred’s future at the end of THE HANDMAID’S TALE, readers had no way of telling what lay ahead for her—freedom, prison or death.

With THE TESTAMENTS, the wait is over.

Margaret Atwood’s sequel picks up the story fifteen years after Offred stepped into the unknown, with the explosive testaments of three female narrators from Gilead.

“Dear Readers: Everything you’ve ever asked me about Gilead and its inner workings is the inspiration for this book. Well, almost everything! The other inspiration is the world we’ve been living in.” —Margaret Atwood
