Giveaway and Q&A - A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest

On the evening of Sofia Claremont's seventeenth birthday, she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake. Read my Review HERE

1. What is your favorite fast food restaurant and what is your usual order?

Taco Del Mar. Tacos!

2. Would you want to be immortal? Why or why not?

I would not want to be immortal if I was the only person being made immortal because I would not want to live to see all my friends and family die. It would be rather depressing. I would love to be immortal though, if everyone else was too.

3. If a supernatural war were to break out what are 3 supernaturals you would want on your side and why?

1) Vampires: obviously. Who wouldn't choose vamps?
2) Werewolves: for their strength and brute force.
3) Zombies: because I wouldn't want those creepy guys against me.

4. By pure luck you have found a genie's lamp in your possession. Who would you like to see pop out of it when rubbed and why?

William Shakespeare. I'd love to pick his brain about a few things.

5. Just write first thing/word/phrase that pops in your head when you read each word below:

Hot: Chocolate

Zombie: Rotten

Sweet: Gummi bears

Holiday: Greece

Rotten: Zombie :)

Ring: Samara (spooky girl from "The Ring", 2002 movie starring Naomi Watts)

Breakfast: Cheerios

Pig: Farm

Karma: Stubbing my toe.

Review - A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest

On the evening of Sofia Claremont's seventeenth birthday, she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake. A quiet evening walk along a beach brings her face to face with a dangerous pale creature that craves much more than her blood. She is kidnapped to an island where the sun is eternally forbidden to shine. An island uncharted by any map and ruled by the most powerful vampire coven on the planet. She wakes here as a slave, a captive in chains. Sofia's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn when she is the one selected out of hundreds of girls to join the harem of Derek Novak, the dark royal Prince.

Holy Cow I Loved It! (5/5 Stars Loved It!) I have not felt so moved and into a vampire story in so long but the emotion that flows between Derek and Sofia as they explore their feelings for each other was just so powerful I hung on every word. I think there may have even been an instance I swooned.

One of my favorite phrases was:

"He was about to sink his teeth into my bare neck and drink my blood. I had every right to feel violated, but I didn’t. What does that say about me?"
