Hello everyone, welcome to our Meet the Boys of the Black Dagger Brotherhood event, where this March we celebrate J.R. Ward’s seriously hot and deadly, vampire warriors. I first entered into the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood on my holidays last June.

I have loved the Hammer Horror Movies ever since I will little. Some of the really old ones are horror classics in my opinion, from Dracula, the…

KITTY NORVILLE MONTH As most of you already know, I love urban fantasy and the Kitty Norville series has been a series I’ve wanted to read for some time.

So I thought I would host this KN month so I could review all the books in the series. I also have a really fab interview with the author, Carrie Vaughn, an interview with Kitty herself,…
