Book Review - The House On Blackstone Moor by Carole Gill (Nurture Virtual Book Tourz) - August 12, 2011

Book Summary:

This is a tale of vampirism, madness, obsession and devil worship as Rose Baines, only survivor of her family’s carnage, tells her story.

Fragile, damaged by the tragedy, fate sends her to a desolate house on the haunted moors where demons dwell.

The house and the moors have hideous secrets, yet there is love too; deep, abiding, eternal, but it comes with a price, her soul.

Teaser Tuesday - August 9, 2011

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.   Anyone can play along!

Grab your current read Let the book fall open to a random page Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!

There is only one VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER:

*** Do NOT post anything that could spoil the plot of the book!!! ***

If your sentences that fall between lines 7 and 12 on the page you turn to give too much away, choose a different page, or a different spot on the page… we don’t want to ruin any surprises for anyone!

My current read is: The House on Blackstone Moor by Carole Gill

Random Page #: 9

Two sentences:

I have shocked you.  My father did more than murder my family.

Third Sentence Thursday - August 4, 2011

Third Sentence Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Sniffly Kitty's Mostly Books  which is fed by third sentence contraptions!

1) Take the book you are reading now and post the third sentence
2) Review this sentence anyway you want (funny and silly reviews encouraged)
3) Post a link to your sentence here (in the comments) or if you don't have a blog, just post it in the comments!

"My sisters only five and eight were gone as well as my brother who was twelve."

Review of Sentence:  No, they are not gone on vacation.  They are gone, gone--forever.  If you would have read up to this sentence you would know that they all got their throats slashed by their dad.  All that in the first three sentences!

I first saw this meme at sidnebkclubreviewz.blogspot.com.  Go and check out my friend Sidne's blog!
