Summary: Eleven years ago, my mother was murdered, and still, her killer lives in plain sight. In Sagebrush Canyon, thirst rules, ignorance is power, and nothing is as it seems. It’s been two centuries since the boom of the Industrial Revolution sent the Victorian world into a devastating climatic shift. Now, chivalry is dead and the frills and frivolities of the romantic era are no more than a fading memory. Jo has kept to the safety of her family’s farm, desperate to forget the horrific day that took her mother and left Jo battered and broken. But the marshal of Sagebrush is everywhere--he controls everything--and for years Jo has had to stomach the false pleasantries and knowing glint in the eyes of the man who killed her mother. When Jo discovers how deep the marshal’s seedy dealings run she decides that fear will no longer keep her silent. But just when Jo plans to expose him for what he really is, the marshal plays a card of his own—his notoriously scandalous son, Clayton. As Jo and Clayton are thrust together, lines become blurred, truths are revealed, and Jo must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in exchange for retribution. Dust and Shadow is a post-apocalyptic love story and Victorian adventure set in a devastated and forgotten world of the American wild west.

ARC Reads and Bailey

I have been working on two ARC reads the past few weeks. What is sad, is that every time I get into my reading, something bad happens and I have to stop. Sadly, I think I will be taking a break from ARC readings for a while. I'll most likely just stick to one author, until I can get things situated with work and life. 

As you can see I have two books in these photos. Dust and Shadow by the wonderful Lindsey Pouge. And Gemini by Sonya Mukherjee. I have read quite a few books from Lindsey, but this is a first from Ms. Mukherjee. I am hoping to be done with Dust and Shadow here soon. Gemini is taking longer than planned. Since I have never read a book with conjoined twins, I'm having a hard time grasping it. 

Now little miss Bailey is getting bigger by the day. two weeks ago was her first vet appointment. She did very well and took her shots like a big girl. Yesterday, I took this photo of her.

As you can see, her ears are starting to stand up. She will be 2 months old on Wednesday, and I'm so happy that I have her. She's a rotten mess and a pain in my butt. But she is a good girl and is learning fast.

I am hoping to start doing more posts, here in the future. I am not writing enough on my blog and feel bad for getting behind. But like with my ARC reads, every time I get started on a post, something comes up.

Until next time,



Meet Bailey

On Sunday, my husband and I got up early and drove 1.5 hours. Why? Because we got a puppy.

Everyone, meet Bailey.

Books

Can you stop reading at any time, or does it have to be a certain page or chapter?
I prefer to finish reading at the end of a chapter. But, when you work a lot, like me, you learn to stop where you can.
Do you eat or drink anything whilst reading?
Not really no. If i drink something, it is coffee.
Can you read listening to music or watching tv?
Not TV. I can read with music in the background. I've learned to tune things out over the years.
One book at a time or several at once?
I prefer one at a time. But on occasion I will have two books sent to me by authors, to read. Like this month I have two i am working on.
Reading at home or everywhere?
Everywhere! Reading at home has now become a little difficult, have too much going on at the house.
Reading out loud or in your head?
In my head for sure.
Do you read ahead or skip pages?
I use to. But now I can't get myself to do that.
Breaking the spine or keeping it new?
I prefer to keep it new. But I find the mass market paperbacks are hard to read without breaking the spine.
Do you write books or just read them?
At the moment, just read but I would love to write one, one day.
Five favorite books:
I can't decide on 5 individual books. So here are 5 series/trilogies that are my favorite.
Article 5 Trilogy by Kristen Simmons
Configured Trilogy by Jenetta Penner
A Saratoga Love Story series by Lindsey Pouge
Elixir by Ted Galdi (stand alone)
After trilogy by William R. Forstchen
The last book that you read?
I’m currently reading Gemini by Sonya Mukherjee and Dust and Shadow by Lindsey Pouge

Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh

Title: Angel's Blood

Author: Nalini Singh

Series Title: Guild Hunter

Published: January 1, 2006

Pages: 339

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Summary:

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she is the best- but she does not know if even she is good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, Elena knows failure is not an option—even if the task is impossible.

Because this time, it's not a wayward vamp she has to track. It's an archangel gone bad.

The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other—and pull her to the razor's edge of passion. Even if the hunt does not destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just might. For when archangels play, mortals break.
