Something has happened recently in the state where I live, something so bad that it's difficult to believe it's real.  I have a lot of personal connections with the city it's happened to, and some slight connections with the person responsible.  

After watching this disaster unfold over the last few months, and feeling heartbroken and helpless, I finally decided I had to write down my feelings about it.All Rights Reserved

Wonderland by Night by MarieHiggins

Lady Sarah Emiline Lucia needs to hide her identity for fear that mobs will kill her and her family after her uncle-Napoleon Bonaparte-is exiled to Melba. She is sent to Hampshire, England, to stay with friends of her father. To stay safe, she must play the role of her maid while her maid assumes Lady Sarah's identity. Complications arise when she meets the very handsome man, and she suddenly wants him to look at her as a real woman, not a servant. Protecting her life, however, is more important than confessing the truth Gabriel Lawrence's pirate ship is almost captured, and this time it was too close. He and his crew need to hide for a few months in hopes that Napoleon's men who seek revenge will soon forget about him. During his stay at his aunt and uncle's in Hampshire, he meets his enemy's niece. Because she doesn't know who Gabe is, he will become close to her to see if she knows any more of her uncle's secrets. But the beauty of her companion, Miss Emmie, captures his attention, and her quirky personality keeps him wanting more. But her over-zealous nature for adventure places both of them in danger, and he's forced to play the honorable rogue. How can he protect them both when an unknown spy is always one step ahead...and wants Gabe dead? Content warning: This story contains a mild amount of violence, and a kidnapping scene... along with plenty of falling in love.

Hunters by Wimbug

#girlswhotravel And fight vampires. Rachel and Daniel broke every rule in the Hunter book. Don't turn humans into Hunters. Daniel did that when he saved Rachel from becoming a vampire bride. Don't travel beyond your assigned area. Assigned area? They've traveled half-way around the world in search for Vlad, the vampire boss. Report all hunting activity to the Hunters' High Council. There's a Hunters' High Council? Don't tell humans about the existence of paranormal beings. Ooopsy, they kinda let that one slip. Don't resist arrest and escape from your death sentence. Well, about that... If they're to go down, they're taking Vlad with them, especially since he screwed up both their lives. The Council has a valid reason to want their heads, but Rachel and Daniel have more pressing matters to worry about. Like the screechy voices inside Rachel's head which sing of death and destruction and the creepy Banshee who predicts the coming of a Hunter - vampire war. A war which Daniel and Rachel must trigger to save their race from extinction. And Rachel seriously doubts that a head-on battle between the vampires and the Hunters will be their ticket out of the death sentence.
