November 25, 2021 By Maryse 2 Comments

Flora needs our book help! Wow, I LOVE human woman with paranormal Heroes, so I think I’d remember this blurb ’cause it sounds pretty awesome.

She asks:

RE: Can’t find a book about vampire again I saw on your website

Hello Maryse,

I have found on your website a promising book about vampire but can’t find it again!Β I read the description and i was hooked! It goes like this :

A woman escaped a relationship with a vampire, was glad about it and vowed to never enter another relationship with a vampire. She declines a powerful proposal but he won’t go away. read more

January 2, 2012 By Maryse Leave a Comment

About the series:

The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Walmart and magic is a fairytale–and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny.Β  It’s a place where poverty is real, life is hard, and fairy tales sometimes do come true.

  • On the Edge
  • Bayou Moon (Edge)
  • Fate’s Edge (A Novel of the Edge)
  • Steel’s Edge (A Novel of the Edge)Β – expected release November 27th 2012

    Ilona Andrews – Kate Daniels Series Reading Order:

    June 21, 2009 By Maryse 3 Comments

    This series comes highly recommended! As per fellow reader, Rose:

    “… I might suggest the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. It’s artful mixing of magic and technology and realistic characterizations makes all the books a wonderful read. I stayed up four days straight finishing them.”

    and Tanya says:

    “Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels series is another very well written true urban fantasy. There’s romantic tension, but no action until later books.”

    Tessa:Β I love the whole series, and can’t get enough ofΒ Curran. Β πŸ™‚ read more

    My trip to the Romantic Times Convention in Orlando

    April 26, 2009 By Maryse 1 Comment

    It was early Friday afternoon, and I managed to get off of work. It was my intention to go to the Saturday bookfair that the RT convention would be holding, however, I was hoping to partake in Friday’s activities as well. While I did arrive there late in the afternoon (3:25pm to be exact), there were still a couple of workshops and events that I could attend, before the highly anticipated “Vampire’s Ball” (aΒ yearly party thrown by Heather Graham and her crew). The RT Staff was extremely accommodating, and ushered me into theΒ workshop thatΒ I was hoping to arrive in time for. read more
