I guess my life as a writer started when I was five; I'd sit under the kitchen table with my box of multi-colored wax crayons (I miss those) and create picture books. Creative writing was always my favorite subject and I used any free time I had to sit down with a notepad.
Not much has changed, except that now I have developed vampirish habits: my writing "day" typically starts at 1am.
I'm an avid reader and a big fan of cookie ice cream. When working I have to disconnect the internet for fear of being endlessly distracted by websites such as www.icanhas.cheezburger.com.

BELLA FORREST HAS DONE IT AGAIN and has given us a book that clearly will keep you on the edge of your seat. So much action and suspense, with the many twists and turns to keep your head spinning. I absolutely love how this series is panning out and the story just gets more riveting and exciting as we read along. And, just when you think you have all things figured out, Bella throws a curve ball and has you stumped as to what to expect next. Keeps me definitely wanting more and hanging for the next instalment.
Derek and Sofia have so much going for them, but are faced with so many challenges along the way, in order to be together. With hunters forever out to get them, vampires wanting to be rid of Sofia and the constant threat of the villainous and evil King, Derek's Father, Gregor Novak, you would think that they were being put through the ringer and back. And they most definitely were. Anytime we found Sofia and Derek having a moments peace together and trying to work through their relationship something or someone would get in their way. My heart went out for the them and I couldn't stand the pressures they were going through. Not only from outside forces, but also within themselves i.e. struggling to comes to terms with how they were going to be together as human and vampire. So many questions were brought to mind while reading this and you feel for both Derek and Sofia. All that mattered was that they loved each other more than anything in the world and would do anything for one another, including laying their own lives, yet there was this constant threat of immortality standing in their way. I'm really nervous and eager at the same time to find out how this will unravel itself within the series.Read more ›

I am trying to pace myself but can't put it down. I am up until wee hours in the morning, and then the next morning it's all I can think about. Never written a review until this series but wanted to share so hopefully you will stop reading these reviews and start seeing for yourself....you won't regret it.

Ugh! This book was just released, so now I have to wait forever to get my greedy hands on the next book.
A Castle of Sand, is a little more intense emotionally than the other two books, you can tell it's just going to get darker from here on out in Sophia and Derek's adventures. It already has. This book, has many mixed emotions, and a lot of guilt and sorrow, mixed in with some pride, and most definitely lots of love.
Sophia (human) and Derek (Vampire, also prince of the Shade), couldn't be anymore in love than they are. Except with having Derek's father home, puts a cramp in their relationship, responsibilities that must be met, and inner turmoil on the fact that Sophia is mortal while, Derek is immortal. Sophia during a lot of this book refers to the sandcastle statement Ben made, but with different variations.
Sophia grows stronger in this book, and Derek due to his love for Sophia keeps a grand hold on his humanity and surprises you every step of the way. Sophia was getting a little whiny at some points that I had to just roll my eyes.
But other than the minor irritants I'm still lovin this series, and Bella Forest is still rocking the smooth material out. UGH! How long before the next one is released? lol

Just when I think Bella Forrest has done her worst at tearing my heart out and putting my nerves on edge, she goes and ups the ante on me! A Castle of Sand brings us right into the heart of the action, suspense, and drama that is leading The Shade toward its fate, with Sofia and Derek taking center stage as the humans and vampires attempt to secure their place in this future. The king's return threw one roadblock after another into the plans, though, and the hits just kept coming for prince Novak now that his father was in the mix. Between the king's vile methods of laying down the laws, the constant threat from either hunters or enemy vampires, the uncertainty of The Shade's future, and the stress of being together as a human and a vampire while standing up for what they believed in, Derek and Sofia were on an incredibly rocky path. I was cringing and trying to calm my racing heart time after time as they pushed through the challenges they faced!
It really seemed like the world was out to get Derek this time around, he just couldn't catch a break and even Sofia had to take an opposing position when it came to the humans at The Shade. My heart broke for both of them as more and more it looked as if they were fighting a losing battle to be together, and trust me when I say the villains this time around WILL make you want to scream! And with the Maslens, the hunters, and Gregor Novak all lined up for a fight, there were plenty to want to tear into!
We knew the huge revelation at the end of book 2 was going to be a key factor in Sofia's life, and I was dreading the moment Borys and Ingrid Maslen came back into the story. With some plot twists that made my stomach drop, we see just how cold both of them can be, and Sofia's strength and determination were really put to the test.Read more ›
