It's tough being a faery in New Orleans, a city fraught with vampires... especially when their very existence drains your life-force. Willow Rhoswen, owner of The Fated Cupcake and part-time vampire hunter for the Void is having a rough week. Four years after her twin brother's mysterious death, Willow's life is threatened and the director saddles her with a new partner--her ex-boyfriend, David. To her horror, he's turned vamp, which causes her physical pain whenever she touches him... and any other specimen of the undead. In order to save Willow's life, David agrees to turn double agent against the most powerful vampire organization in New Orleans. Or so he says. And she's convinced they know something about her brother's death. Unsure where David's loyalties lie, she turns to Talisen, her childhood crush, to help her solve the mystery. Caught between two gorgeous men and a director who'll stop at nothing to control Willow's gifts, she'll have to follow her instincts and learn who to trust. Otherwise, she risks losing more than just her life.

1. So again, I suck with reviews but... I really enjoyed the book. However it wasn't one of the favorites we have read for #PLC (that doesn't take away from the book though)

2. I don't know. The problem is is that I have so many books on my TBR. I enjoyed this book but wasn't floored by it, so ... probably not?

3. I believe in everything until proven otherwise :)

"Don't stop there. I suppose there are also, what, vampires & werewolves & zombies?"
"Of course there are. Although you mostly find zombies farther south, where the vodun priests are."
"What about mummies? Do they only hang around Egypt?"
"Don't be ridiculous. No one believes in mummies." 
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

1. What is your review of the book?
2.Would you read the rest of the series?

This book flows better as you get into it, it took me a while to get into the ‘world‘ and I still don‘t quite understand the dynamic between the magical creatures and the humans. I‘d love to be friends with Phoebe though - she sounds awesome! #plc #paranormallovecrew

1. I feel like the main character is super emotional and needs to level her head a little bit. So maybe advice like... “take a breath, its not always what it looks like“. like just Relax girl! You are a fairy things have to work out!

2. For some reason... Maybe its the melody? It just felt right...

Finished this while waiting for my car to be fixed (only been at work 2 days and I am already off! AND this is the 2nd time it has had to go to the garage in a month 😭). So it‘s going to cost me lots of money, but I got some quality #JumpStart2020 reading time in!

I really loved this book. It has romance, action, intrigue, and sexy vampires and fae 🥰
I will definitely try to pick up the next one later this year!

#ParanormalLoveCrew #PLC

Lizpixie I‘ll definitely have to look out for this! Well done👏👏👏 4y

I have kept up with my 1 hour a day for #JumpStart2020 so far (yay me!) and have just finished chapter 27/33 of Influential Magic. (This book is everything I want out of a paranormal romance!)

Since I‘m nearly done and ahead of my readathon schedule I‘m contemplating my next read. But I‘m not sure whether to restart one I had ongoing, carry on with Mercy, or read a good standalone or a graphic novel/comic 🤔

#PLC #ParanormalLoveCrew

Clwojick I always vote for Graphic novels during a Readathon. ♥️ 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I see Kim Harrison up there, did you here she‘s going back to that series this year too? 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa And if you‘re talking about Mercy Thompson she‘s always a good read. 4y

Bookworm54 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I saw there was a new Kim Harrison due which is why I started a reread (5 chapters a week with a Facebook group) but I fell behind! And it is Mercy yes ☺️ I will be carrying on soon, but thinking of another book in between/alongside haha 4y
Bookworm54 @Clwojick I have the first phoebe and her unicorn on my shelf so might dig that out :) 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Have you ever read Karen Marie Moning‘s Fever series. I think you‘d enjoy it, the first book is 4y
Bookworm54 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I read darkfever as part of a book club and did enjoy it :) but haven‘t picked up the others yet. 4y

A quick check in for #JumpStart2020

I managed another hour of Influential magic today. It is so good! I think I‘m about half way through based on chapters.

Hopefully I manage to keep to my 1 hour a day once I‘m back at work tomorrow! 3 weeks off has not been enough 😭

The image is of Karen Gillan, the actress I would want to cast as the main character willow. And my cupcake of choice is red velvet :)

#PLC #ParanormalLoveCrew #JanPickWeekOne

Lizpixie I love her as well. Her performance in the Dr Who episode The Girl Who Waited was brilliant. Plus who doesn‘t love a Ginger!🧡 4y

1. Hmm.. I am horrible at these questions because I never know actresses Ive never been good at this. I think the cover of the photo is beautiful and I would like to think that the main character is her.

2. So I love a lemon cake with a buttercream frosting. Now, if it has special powers like energy, peacefulness, luck... something that that that would be an added bonus.

jb72 I prefer a nice chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting. 4y
ElizaMarie @jb72 I love love chocolate but I am more of a bitter dark chocolate lover. I don't know if it would do really well with cupcakes. 4y

AkashaVampie I am glad u liked it. I haven't read too much yet. Been in a weird mood with books and have fallen asleep just after reading like 1 page at night. I am hoping to get a ton of it done this coming week. 4y

I‘m 9 chapters in, and loving it so far!

The writing is keeping me engrossed, and the I like the main love interest and the MC.
Plus I am a sucker for good world building with Fae and Vamps 🤣

I‘m going to try watching the new BBC Dracula programme now. I have heard great things!

#PLC #ParanormalLoveCrew #JumpStart2020

@Lizpixie @Clwojick

Lizpixie I‘ve only just finished watching Dracula. It‘s different, that‘s for sure. I really liked the actor playing him, he reminds me of Bela Lugosi‘s version of the Count. Plus it‘s very funny.🧛🏻‍♂️ 4y
Bookworm54 @Lizpixie the boyfriend decided he didn‘t fancy it last night, so we watched the film “What we do in the shadows”. Hoping I can convince him to at least watch one later! Haha 4y

I wonder where this leads to....

Well off to do some reading for the night. Tomorrow I need to start working on my notebook for tracking the books I read!

Coleen_Nieto Please post pictures of your notebook when it's done. I'd love to see it! 4y
AkashaVampie @Coleen_Nieto I will try (2 reasons... have a shitty memory and im not very artistic or anything). I was planning on looking on pinterest to get ideas of how to do it the way that I don't make myself crazy (crazier.. haha). 4y
Coleen_Nieto @AkashaVampie no pressure! I have a bad memory and no artistic talent! I'm sure it will be great. 4y
