Who is Marilyn Monroe? It is the 1940's when Marilyn becomes a symbol for women's independence. She is a symbol for men's desires. Even in death, she remains every girl's idol, the woman men drool over. She is who girls wish to be and who men wish they had. But outside of all the fame and fortune, there's another side to Marilyn. In there is the shy, insecure girl overwhelmed by sudden success, who idolizes Clark Gable, who had a rough childhood, and who is used by men but can still fall head-over-heels in love. Go back to her time and see how she lived. This is the real Marilyn Monroe's story.

I do not own this. Most of the characters belong to Richelle Mead, author of the Vampire Academy series. Emma DiCamillo is a 16-year-old dhampir (half vampire, half human) who's a bit of a smart cookie and is trained to kill Strigoi (dangerous undead immortal vampires). But, she's got a fight in her. Adrian Ivashkov, however, is a royal Moroi (a mortal vampire who specializes in one of the Earth's elements) who's a bit of a player. But, he harnesses the powers of spirit, an element so powerful he can heal the sick and bring back the dead. Emma's brother Dante, has been in a coma for many years due to a hazardous fire. Can Adrian bring Dante back?
