V is for what.....

Yep..Paranormal Romance. That's the new rave in the best sellers series. Vampire love tops the list.

Some include:

Twilight Saga

Sookie Stackhouse

Betsy Queen of the Vampires


I've read all three of the above mentioned series. Let me just say they go from PG-XXX. I thought after seeing the Sookie Stackhouse books getting turned into a HBO series was unable to be topped, try reading about Betsy or Fred (however, she's a mermaid and doesn't fit into this category of vampire love. She's a whole other can of worms.) Betsy makes Bella look G-rated and she makes Sookie (even though she's on HBO) look like PG-13.

Okay, so vampires have lots of things in common......
(I'm comparing the 3 above series.)

1. At least one character is a telepath.
2. At least one character is a werewolf.
3. Characters in the Sookie & Betsy series feed on people without killing them, Edward did too, but it was to save a life and it was hard for him to stop.

Sounds like Stephanie, MaryJanice and Charlaine were in cahoots with each other while writing their books. I smell conspiracy.

Can we count the ways?


Twilight published in 2005.
Sookie published in 2001.
Betsy published in 2004.


Maybe Stephanie stole some ideas...I'm just saying.




Which leads me to another wonderful series...Harper Connelly.


I just finished the last book in the series, simply wonderful. I believe that if Harper was ever turned into a made for TV/Movie series, please let this man be cast as Matthew Lang...Nick Nolte this is your destiny as an actor and right up your alley. I'm sure they could use your mug shots in the story line, you know, since the police knew Lang was shady....haha!

So, let's turn up some My Chemical Romance, because we all know....

Vampires Will Never Hurt You!
