My review:

Wolf Sirens:  Discover the Legend:  Forbidden by Tina Smith is the first title in a paranormal series that is geared for the young adult audience.  A young high school student named Lila Crain moves with her mother to the town of Shade and struggles to find her place in both school and town.  Uneasy undercurrents complicate the already angst-filled challenge of finding her place and the discovery that there are such things as werewolves and Hunters make it even more difficult to distinguish between true friendships and manipulative relationships.  Lila’s life gets increasingly complicated and when death and severe bodily harm become all too likely, she will have to decide what her purpose in life truly is...before she becomes the next victim.

There are interesting concepts in this young adult paranormal tale but the story seems a little disjointed and erratic to me.  The overall angst of being a youngster in a new school and the struggle to find one’s place in the pecking order is nicely conveyed but the shifting allegiances and complex relationship between the role of hunter and werewolf is still a puzzle to me.  The underlying pressure that will result in even more deaths is not quite clear as it seems that there is both an innate and an exterior force shaping the heroine’s actions and causing her to be both catalyst and a product of the power struggle taking place within the clique she strives to join.  The interactions with the neighboring pack, the cause for the disappearances in town and the anticipated result of her training with her self-appointed mentor are all still muddled for me.  I also didn’t like the duplicity of her interaction with one of the pack members whom she uses as a stand-in for another although I realize that it may just reflect normal teen indecisiveness.  I think that there are great underlying themes to this tale but that the story is just a little too convoluted at this time and hope that subsequent tales work out some of the inconsistencies and provide better exposition.  For me, this was an adequate light read.

The Tegen Cave (giveaway contest)

The Tegen Cave     
by Inge-Lise Goss is a horror story that features one of my fears, spiders!  I am told that it is considered mild horror but I will leave that for someone else to discover, lol.


Synopsis:
After running from her boyfriend’s powerful organized crime family, Sara Jones starts a new life in a new town. But when people around her start dying from poisonous spider bites after she receives a mysterious package with a spider concealed inside, she worries that the family has found her. Life takes an even more bizarre turn when she seems to be not only immune to the spider venom, but also surrounded by a sinister group of people she suspects is a spider cult. Even her new boyfriend starts acting suspiciously. Just who can she trust?


and now, a few words from the author on how she develops her favorite scene:

Developing your favorite scene

When I write, I begin with an overall concept about the novel and some major elements based on the stories that have been popping in my head and those I have dreamt about. The story that has been floating around the longest, is the one I plan to put to paper, but sometimes another one edges it out.

Like almost watching a movie, I envision each scene as my fingers pound on the keyboard. After I’ve written a chapter I jot down a few notes about it, and start a spreadsheet about the characters, even the minor ones, so I don’t accidentally describe a character differently as the story progresses.
 
I’m convinced my muse plants the scenes in my head and seldom is more revealed to me than I can manage to type that day. There was a time I deleted a scene because I couldn’t figure out how it moved the story along, only to find myself having to add it back again. Thank goodness, I printed it before I eliminated it. When I put my story aside for the day, I feel just as anxious to get back to it as I do about a novel I’m reading. A few months ago I wasn’t able to bring my laptop with me on a brief trip. Since I had left the novel on a cliffhanger, I wanted to know what was going to happen in the next scene. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the story, but all that buzzed through my mind was the last scene I had written. Nothing more.
 
As soon as I sat down at my computer, not only did the next scene flash into my head, but so did the following chapter. That day I wrote for over ten hours to get it all down. Somehow, the scenes are developed in my subconscious with the help of my muse. I experience the events in the novel in the same manner a reader would experience them. I don’t know how the story will unfold until it happens.
 
When the first draft of the novel is completed, I have several favorite scenes. I enjoy reading the story over and over again as I edit it or complete revisions and corrections provided by editors. 



Thank you so much for sharing with us !
