Hi! For those new to this blog, let me give you a quick tour. The home page is a one stop place for members to find out what books we are reading in each of the five categories each month. Any questions you might have about them, feel free to ask in the comments sections. You'll also find the monthly polls in the right hand column where we vote on what we'll be reading next. Each category has its own page. I ask that any comments you have get put on the respective page *smiles*. Discussions of the books will actually be held as a month long event on the clubs Facebook page. If you have a suggestion of something you'd like to see there, please feel free to share it. Make sure you check by regularly because you'll never know what you might find. Enjoy the blog and hope to see you on our Facebook group as well!

September Voting!!!

Indie author in the spotlight:  L.A.  Banks
(Vote for two in the poll)

Minion: 
All Damali Richards ever wanted to do was create music and bring it to the people. Now she is a Spoken Word artist and the top act for Warriors of Light Records. But come nightfall, she hunts vampires and demons-predators that people tend to dismiss as myth or fantasy. Damali and her Guardian team cannot afford such delusions, especially now, when a group of rogue vampires has been killing the artists of Warriors of Light and their rival, Blood Music.

Bad Blood: 
Sasha Trudeau knows all about working beneath the shadows, back-alley deals, and things that go bump in the night. She also knows that the world is unaware of the existence of the paranormal—and that the government would like to keep it that way.

Finders Keepers: 
Over two hundred years ago a beautiful, innocent woman was dragged to her death by an angry mob, blamed for witchcraft.  Unbeknownst to the locals, the deaths in the Haitian village were committed by the mysterious nobleman that had arrived on their shores with untold wealth and many secrets. 

Surrender the Dark: 
Celeste Jackson has fought all her life against a fog of hallucination and substance abuse, but it’s not until she meets her protector, Azrael, an angel who has left the safety of the Light, that she learns of the evil forces that have been trying to ruin her, and why. A fierce battle for control of the mortal realm is brewing, and only Celeste—with the help of the Remnant, her half-human, half-angel brethren—can stand in the way.

Paranormal Romance
(Vote for two in the poll)

The Cajun Captive by Selena Blake
Sebastian Deveraux is the Alpha of his pack and like all the Deveraux men, he's sexy as pure sin. He's waited for decades for just the right woman. For his mate. And ten years ago he'd been sure he'd found her in Amanda St. James. But she'd run from him.

Wildefire by Karsten Knight
Ashline Wilde is having a rough sophomore year. She’s struggling to find her place as the only Polynesian girl in school, her boyfriend just cheated on her, and now her runaway sister, Eve, has decided to barge back into her life. When Eve’s violent behavior escalates and she does the unthinkable, Ash transfers to a remote private school nestled in California’s redwoods, hoping to put the tragedy behind her.

Without Mercy by Belinda Borning
When Darcy’s outing takes a turn for the worst and tests her to the point of breaking, she struggles to maintain her humanity. Where loyalty and pack mean everything, she surrenders to the inevitable and only an act of complete trust can touch her. When all is said and done, with memories flooding her mind, Darcy holds tightly to the only thing that makes sense – it was all a dream. Or was it?

The Nine Lives of Chloe King by Liz Braswell
Chloe King is a normal girl. She goes to class (most of the time), fights with her mom, and crushes on a boy…or two. But around her sixteenth birthday, Chloe finds that perhaps she isn’t so normal after all. There’s the heightened night vision, the super fast reflexes – oh, and the claws.

Erotica
(Vote for two in the poll)

Club Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair
Her car disabled during a tropical storm, Jessica Randall discovers the isolated house where she's sheltering is a private bondage club. At first shocked, she soon becomes aroused watching the interactions between the Doms and their subs. But she's a professional woman--an accountant--and surely isn't a submissive...is she?
Takedown by Stacey Kennedy
U.S. Marshal Wyatt Tanning has been on the hunt for a killer on the run in Turks and Caicos. A week into the investigation, he has absolutely nothing to show for his efforts. Feeling defeated he returns to Castillo Resort to drown his frustrations. There he meets UFC fighter, Rye Daniels.

Northern Exposure by Jayne Rylon
Silas Compton always had his eye on Lucy, the veterinarian’s daughter. He was even content to wait for the girl of his dreams to grow up before getting anywhere near her with his family’s double-edged legacy.

The One by Lora Leigh
Brenna's love for Jase has grown from a crush to a soul-searing need, a painful hunger . . . and an unrequited ache, because the savagely sexy Texan doesn't feel the same. A bequest and stipulation in his father's will have hardened Jase, it seems. Now she must endure three months of living under his roof. Three torturous, tension-filled months and Brenna will have fulfilled the stipulation; will be free to attempt to regain the heart lost to Jase so long ago.
