Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev

"Take her with you to the theatre. Take her...before I change my mind." Bertie's Mother walked swiftly to the cottage. When she opened the front door, a shaft of light fell over her empty arms, and a single tear shone on her cheek like a diamond.

Synopsis

UNEXPECTED UNDEAD BREAK-UP

Nothing sucks the romance out of world travel like a boyfriend who may or may not have broken up with you in a hotel room in Brussels. Jane Jameson's sexy sire Gabriel has always been unpredictable, but the seductive, anonymous notes that await him at each stop of their international vacation, coupled with his evasive behavior over the past few months, finally push Jane onto the next flight home to Half Moon Hollow -- alone, upset, and unsure whether Gabriel just ended their relationship without actually telling her.

Now the children's-librarian-turned-vampire is reviving with plenty of Faux Type O, some TLC from her colorful friends and family, and her plans for a Brave New Jane. Step One: Get her newly renovated occult bookstore off the ground. Step Two: Support her best friend, Zeb, and his werewolf bride as they prepare for the impending birth of their baby...or litter. Step Three: Figure out who's been sending her threatening letters, and how her hostile pen pal is tied to Gabriel. Because for this nice girl, surviving a broken heart is suddenly becoming a matter of life and undeath....


Your turn! Spill! What book re you waiting on?

"I bit back an obvious reply, thought for a moment, then decided that although the plan Gabriel had come up with was too I Love Lucy for words, I didn't have any alternative. I stripped."



~cackles~ I love May and Gabriel. Hope you enjoyed the teaser!

My Followers Have Spoken...

Thanks everyone for all of your great input!

I’m happy to report that the majority—and by the majority, I mean EVERYONE—agreed that I should review all books, old and new.

I am really happy about this! I will now go ahead and update my “Upcoming Review” book (on my sidebar, for anyone who didn’t know), which will be the first book in the Silver Dragons series.

P.S.—Only 4 more followers to go and then we can all celebrate with a “100 Follower Giveaway”!
