So here is a new one for you guys that I literally just finished reading. Eternally Departed by Steph Anne is a different kind of vampire romance that leaves you going, now this is a story I can sink my teeth into. I know I'm cheesy, this story is worth the read.

Grieving over the woman he loves leads him to a support group meeting for people like himself where he meets Jo who is mysterious and dealing with a lost of her own.  After meeting Jo things get really interesting and that is where the story picks up. The language that the author uses to express Dustin's grief gives the the character a life of its own. You feel for him and the relate to him over the situation that took him to this place. The story is very descriptive and I loved the fact that he isn't at all like the stereotypical...

SHORT STORY REVIEW: RUSTY FISCHER'S ZOMBIE THANKSGIVING

Extended Description: It’s Thanksgiving and all Cassie wants to do is sit in her dorm room eating cheesy poofs and binge watching a Horror High marathon on HitFlix. That’s when Rex, one of the members of the Zombie Job Corps, shows up, wanting to clean her floor. With nothing better to do, Cassie helps him… and finds a friend for Thanksgiving break. And just in time, too, seeing as a zombie outbreak is starting and Cassie has to decide which side to fight for: the good zombies… or the bad! Once while venturing through SmashworDs YA books, I found this amazing FREE short story, Zombie Thanksgiving by Rusty Fischer. First of all I have to say the story is well written and well paced. I thought it was going one way and then it took a left turn and that's when it gets good. Cassie seems to be the girl that I was in college which was somewhat of an out case. She doesn't think guys think of her as normal and through the story I thought well you aren't.  Cassie meets Re...

SHORT STORY REVIEW: CAPTURED TO BE A VAMPIRE PRINCE'S BRIDE

 Captured to Become Vampire Prince's Bride is a title that would intrigue anyone and it did with me. Besides the fact that it's FREE! When I saw the title a lone I wanted to read it right away, but I was disappointed at how short it was even though it is a short story. Arianne and her friend Selena find themselves in the park way after they should be. The park attendants are gone and there is no one around. Selena tells Arianne that they should head back since the park isn't safe at night, and she was right. Sinister eyes watch the girls every move and when Arianne finally feels the danger, it is too late. Taken by two strange men what will happen to the girls? Will they survive or will they lose their lives? This is a great short story by Jessica Martins, that can be expanded upon. I love the visuals that the writer uses to describe the sinister characters, and what happens to the two girls when everything goes wrong. The only problem I had with the story wa...
