Vamplayers
by Rusty Fischer
get your copy: kindle version is currently free here
(offer is now closed 2-27-12)
At the Afterlife Academy of Exceptionally Dark Arts, Lily Fielding is a measly trainee who dreams of one day becoming a Savior—those who visit vampire-infested high schools and put down the undead with their deadly crossbows.

When Lily and her classmates Alice and Cara begin their latest assignment, it seems like just another run-of-the-mill gig: they’re to simply spot the Vamplayer—part vampire, part player—identify the popular girl he’s set his sights on, and befriend her before the Vamplayer can turn her to do his bidding.

Before long, however, the Vamplayer sets his sights on Lily's friends, and she is left to face the threat alone while protecting her friends from the dark forces she has sworn to resist.

Post-Valentine's Day Giveaway: All There Is: Love Stories from StoryCorps by Dave Isay

Because LOVE is in the air, I wanted to share this special book with someone...

All There Is:
Love Stories from StoryCorps
by Dave Isay
In All There Is, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay shares stories of love and marriage from the revolutionary oral history project, revealing the many and remarkable journeys that relationships can take.

In stories that carry us from the excitement and anticipation of courtship to the deep connection of lifelong commitment, we discover that love is found in the most unexpected of places—a New York tollbooth, a military base in Iraq, an airport lounge—and learn that the course it takes is as unpredictable as life itself. As the storytellers in this book start careers, build homes, and raise families, we witness the life-affirming joy of partnership, the comfort of shared sorrows, and profound gratitude in the face of loss.

These stories are also testament to the heart’s remarkable endurance. In All There Is we encounter love that survives discrimination, illness, poverty, distance—even death. In the courage of people’s passion we are reminded of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. This powerful collection bares witness to real love, in its many varied forms, enriching our understanding of that most magical feeling.

Rating: 4

Amazon | Barnes&Noble

Out of time and out of her element, teenager Zoe Calder finds herself in ancient Greece, battling against the power of the Olympians and the vengeance of a scorned goddess—all for the strange and mysterious boy she has come to love.

Trilogy:
Zoe and Zeus
book 2 - tba
book 3 - tba

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): young love
Fun twist to the Greek God characters. I enjoyed the interplay of the young adult versions of the mythological gods.

Being part of a trilogy, the end of this story left me curious and wondering about the mystery behind Zoe, the main character of the story.
