By: Cynthia Ayala

Wolf Pact by Melissa de la Cruz
Disney Hyperion

Bliss Llewellyn has come far, finally escaping the clutches of her father, Lucifer himself. But her task to help the Blue Bloods is far from over. She may not be a Vampire anymore, but those gifts haven’t left her and her mother, the fallen angel Gabrielle, has given her a task: finds the werewolves, find the hounds that once guarded time and bring them to the fight against Lucifer and his silver bloods.

‘Blood Hunger’ Origins – Nia Dragin Books

By: Nia Dragin

This is for anyone who is curious about my novel.

In fact, only angels and shadow creatures were in the novel. Continue reading “‘Blood Hunger’ Origins – Nia Dragin Books”

Weekly Reading List #7

By: Cynthia Ayala

So to be honest, I expected to be done with the third arc of the pretty little lairs series but Pretty Little Secrets was kind of a letdown so I continued to put it down and procrastinate on actually finishing the novel. I hardly ever do that unless a novel really bores me. Just look at my Goodreads stats, I read super-fast…much to the disdain of my mother who says books are wasted on me. Nevertheless, here’s my reading list for the week. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and had a chance to see Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend between reading.

Meet Nia Dragin and her new novel “Blood Hunger”

wpid-CAM00031-1.jpgMost authors create pseudonyms to remain anonymous, and for the most part that’s what I want. I’ve already written one novel and self-published it, but that was so long ago and I was far too impatient and overly confident in my writing to actually look at what I had written. So I’m not going to mention the title and I don’t recommend it to anyone. Structurally it’s missing so much and the character development is very limited.
