Taste Of Grief
Wow, I swear it was just yesterday that I wrote my last blog post! If only this Arizona Summer would pass as quickly as this last week! 🙂 Anyway, I just recently finished reading the third book in the Just One Bite Series, “Taste Of Grief”, and wanted to give a shout out to my friend and extremely talented indie author, Kay Glass!
TASTE OF GRIEF by Kay Glass (Just One Bite Series – Book #3)
Here’s the description:
Diandra and Lizbeth are back, and this time things are very different. Cocaine overdose victims are turning up in Bethany Beach and Lizbeth and Alexar are busy trying to clean it up. But when a surprising twist turns the case upside down, Lizbeth may have to compromise all she holds dear to make things right.
District Attorney Giles Carson has plans for Lizbeth, as well. He’s not done with her, and he’s not forgiven her for ruining his clandestine efforts. Now a death threat hangs over her head and Diandra won’t just stand aside and let someone come between her and the woman she loves.
The more things change, the more they stay the same- until they change again with just another bite.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taste of Grief (Just one Bite, #3) by Kay Glass is the third installment in this series
and closes the original saga which incorporated Love Bite and Bitten By Regret. Each of the main characters are delved into more fully (I love really getting into the story’s primary people) and the plots and sub plots are finally exposed.
There’s a couple of spoilers so I won’t go into detail about the ending, but I will tell you this; This trilogy rocked! The books just kept getting better, and I can’t wait to see what Kay does next! If you’re into vampires, you’ve got to read “Just One Bite.”

“Spring Into Summer” Review
“SPRING INTO SUMMER” by Eden Baylee
“Spring Into Summer” by Eden Baylee is a compilation of four Novellas that move chronologically with the seasons. Erotic Literature is not a genre I generally read…however, I was curious, and thank God for my curiosity, because these Novellas were engaging, heartwarming and sexy! Eden’s technique is smooth, and so believable, that I found myself trying to read faster to find out what was going to transpire next. I forgot I was reading Erotic Literature, and just got pulled into the story without realizing it was happening. Each story gave good closure, and made me want to continue. I was surprised to find that the erotic parts of the book were there to enhance the feelings that the stories were trying to portray. Not to overtake them. To say that I’m impressed with “Spring Into Summer,” and Eden Baylee would be an understatement.
Superb job Eden! 🙂

5 Star Review of Tapestry
I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Poetry book, “Tapestry”, had received a 5 star review today! The review was written by indie author, Kay Glass, and left me feeling utterly speechless! Poetry has always been a passion of mine, and with every word written, a piece of me, the author is forever imprinted. As subjective as poetry is, extreme criticism is a risk that every poet takes when they have decided to share their work with others. Kay’s incredibly touching review of “Tapestry”, was everything I had hoped a reader would feel when reading my poetry! I am blown away by her review and cannot possibly thank her enough!!
