What with all this Twilight craze and people saying they would like to be vampires, I thought I should tout the bitter horn of reality because sometimes it’s fun to be the party pooper. *wicked laugh*

Anyway, here is a movie that all vampire candidates should watch before going through with their conversion. It tells the story of what happens when 95% of Earth’s population becomes vampire and a blood famine ensues. It also follows the somewhat unusual case of a vampire who wants to be human again. Vampires in this movie burn in the sunlight (as in, burst into flames) and turn into creepy mutant monsters if they go without human blood for too long. They are, however, immortal and darn near indestructible. It’s a bit gory, but a pretty good movie overall. (Click the poster to see the movie profile on IMDb)

So can you think of any minuses to becoming a vampire?

So if you have been following my blog for awhile, you have probably heard me ramble on and on and on about how madly in love I am with Erica Steven’s vampire romance The Captive series. Well guess what? The third book releases today! (There is one more book in the series set for release sometime this year.) You know the drill, click the cover to be whisked away to Goodreads!

Whispers, rumors, and horror stories abound about The Barrens and the strange creatures that lurk within them. Determined to find the remaining vampires that stood against his father in the war, Braith knows that it’s dangerous to enter the inhospitable land, but that they must if they are to have a chance at gaining allies to help overthrow the king. Though he once knew the powerful vampires that are rumored to reside within The Barrens, he is unsure what to expect if they succeed in finding them. He will do whatever is necessary though to ensure a future for himself and Aria.
Aria is fearful of entering into the land she’s heard nothing but cautionary tales about, but she’s determined to help Braith locate the vampires that may help them with their cause. She is fascinated and amazed by the world they uncover within, one that is unlike anything she has ever seen before. However, the more immersed they become in a world that she doesn’t entirely understand, the more she realizes that it won’t be the war, or even the king that will eventually tear her and Braith apart.
It will be her.

Today I’d like to share with you guys a teaser from a book I recently read that has a good dose of vampires in it, Ties to the Blood Moon by Robin P. Waldrop. You guys know the drill, click the cover to check it out on Goodreads!

Genevieve is a teenage girl who moves in with her aunt in Alaska after the death of her mother. Soon after her arrival she learns the things she was raised to believe only existed in fairytales are in fact a big part of her history. When it gets to be too much she seeks refuge in the arms of her new boyfriend, William, only to find out he’s not who she thought he was either.

Teaser:

“Luna? Where have you been?” I asked, and then my anger took over. “I almost got killed looking for you. Some kind of giant wolf-like…beast almost had me for dinner.”

So for this week’s Fanged Mania post, I am reviewing the second book in Erica Stevens’ THE CAPTIVE series. Oh, and the next book in this series comes out next month!

Review:
Like I said, after reading the first book, CAPTURED, I went and immediately snatched up this one. While I did like CAPTURED better, I am still enamored with this series and will continue to stalk the author for news of future releases.

RENEGADE picks up about two months after CAPTURED ends. In that time, Arianna hasn’t been able to get over Braith, even though he deceived her about being engaged. Meanwhile, Braith considers himself to have been betrayed by Arianna and his heartbreak drives him into a vicious madness as he waits for the human girl to be recaptured and made to pay for what she did to him.

After two months of waiting for his brother, Caleb, to obtain Arianna, Braith decides to hunt her down himself. Since Braith let her drink his blood, the two of them are connected and finding her is easy.

But once he finds her, Braith can’t bring himself to drink her veins dry as he had planned. And Arianna falls for the vampire prince all over again. But between Braith’s ruthless father and brother who are determined to crush the rebels; and Arianna’s family who are certain Braith hurt her while she was his blood slave, they may be forced apart just when they’ve found their way back together.

I LOVED this book about 70% through. Up until the end when the stuff about bloodlinks came up and that was a personal, picky thing. Aside from the stuff about bloodlinks, this story fully met the sky-high standard set by the first. I’m now eagerly awaiting the Christmastime release of the third book. ERICA STEVENS, YOU ROCK!!!

Well, this is my first Fanged Mania post and I’m so excited! Well, to start us off, I thought I’d show you guys the ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden because it looks like an awesome vacation spot for a vampire. I’ve never been here, but thanks to PBS staying visiting ICEHOTEL is on my Bucket List.

Why would it be awesome for our fanged friends? Well, look at these pictures! The place looks like the set for one of The Lord of the Rings movies! (Ignore the pink flamingo in that last photo.) Second, during the winter season, the sunlight wouldn’t be a problem at all. Not mention it’s a FIVE-STAR hotel! Now if only we can get room service to deliver blood…
