Today's Book Spotlight

Today's Book Spotlight is Beyond Twilight

With the release of Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun, the interest in vampires is returning and so are the interesting and diverse books of other vampire writers that tell of stronger female characters than Bella in Twilight.

Vampires have evolved with the world being different than it was 15 years ago when the first Twilight book was released. From the #metoo movement, to politics to science, the world is beyond Twilight and that is what this bundle is about.

According to the StoryBundle Website

We want Bellas who are smart and strong, and Edwards who are harder, faster, more heroic—or, depending on the story, more sinister.

What takes a heroine Beyond Twilight? She stands on her own and is just as likely to rescue the vampire as be rescued. Our heroines range from clever, sardonic Mel, the psychic FBI agent who becomes mired in vampire politics to Gracie, the loner slayer in a western setting who redefines grit while charming us with her homespun heart. There's also cool, calm, collected Garnet who is not looking to be saved by anyone as she learns of her own hidden legacy.

In addition, we have arranged for the bundle to take you to Budapest and Jamaica to kick some vampire ass extra hard. The Greek gods have been invited to take vampires out for a spin as well. There are assassins and witches and even college students, all sharpening themselves in opposition to vampires.

Our vampires and heroines break the mold and tell new stories.

So, what is StoryBundle and how does it work?

StoryBundle allows you to decide the price that you pay, and you get a bundle of books in eBook format. If you pay the bonus price, then you get 11 books. You move the cursor to the price that you want to pay and it tells you what and how many books you get for that price. A minimum of $15 unlocks all the books but you can pay more to help support the author. https://storybundle.com/vampires

The first 4 books are:

1. Resist by Tami Lund

Two vampires fighting over control of Chicago, with one human woman caught in the middle.

Tami takes us on a wild ride with vampires from Chicago to Jamaica and back again in this two-book duet exclusive to Story Bundle.

2. The Vampire Hunter Tribulations by Nicole Zoltack

Meet Blake Damon. Vampire hunter. World traveler. Staking one vampire at a time.

Nicole offers dark tales that also hold hope and redemption. Blake must overcome his own darkness to take on the vampires of the world. The series of tribulations and trials cover the aftermath of a life taken by vampires, of a son fighting to find closure and struggling to fill the emptiness left behind when the monsters take so much, you have nothing left to give. Here be vampires. Bring extra stakes.

3. Rare Stakes by Michelle Fox

A psychic FBI agent, the vampire hunting her, and the killer that stalks them both.

Mel goes way beyond Twilight because she is too smart to be impressed by a fancy pair of fangs. The mysteries in each book are intricate and not easily solved even though Mel is psychic...and has an extra, secret superpower.

4. Morrigan's Blood by Laura Bickle

Garnet has the blood of the legendary Morrigan – and legions of vampires and witches will go to war to possess that power.

Morrigan is hypnotic and magical and takes vampires to a whole new level. (And there are murders of very cool crows. Morrigan’s Blood is also exclusive to this bundle.

The bonus books are:

1. Killer Stakes by Michelle Fox

Part 2 of A psychic FBI agent, the vampire hunting her, and the killer that stalks them both.

2. Twisted Dreams by Marissa Farrar

College isn't easy when your half-vampire and a local carnival has come to town…

Marissa is a powerhouse who writes riveting can’t-look-away stories. Her vampire has just started college and keeps getting flashes of the future while fighting to control her bloodlust. This is a vampire who strives to be more than her nature, who will not let the monsters win. Come explore vampires who want more in Twisted Dreams.

3. The Blood Knife by Marcella Burnard

Witch Rose Buchanan was only supposed to investigate some arcane runes, not let a rogue vampire assassin catch sight of her.

Blood Knife brings us a vampire who must choose between duty and freedom and the witch who will make that choice hurt. Rose is the strong, stalwart heroine we all need on our side.

4. Blood Bounty by Liza Street

Three things annoy the hell out of Gracie Boswell: noisy saloons, handsy cowboys, and vampires.

Liza told me Gracie had been rattling around in her brain for a while, and the Beyond Twilight bundle gave her the nudge she needed to finally get the story down. Gracie came to life in the span of a month, and I was lucky enough to beta read one of the early drafts. I literally told my entire family about this book even though none of them cares about vampires. I was like, “Listen, this was amazing. Whhhhy don’t you love vampires toooo?” Even better, this phenomenal read is exclusive to Story Bundle. Gracie is full of homespun, plucky charm and the story takes vampires well beyond Twilight and into the wild, wild west.

5. Wicked Immortals by K.N. Lee

In a world where Greek Gods rule, vampires stalk the night, and shifters walk amongst us, ancient goddess Inanna is the only one who can save us. But her ex-boyfriend Hades has another plan.

It is not often you find a vampire story that involves the pantheon of Greek Gods and this one is a delight. KN has a way of sucking you (pun intended!) in and making you afraid to blink because you do not want to miss anything. You will not be able to put Wicked Immortals down.

6. Vampire Bait by Annie Nicholas

Live bait works the best when hunting vampires.

Annie shares a devious murder mystery set in Budapest packed full of vampires and slayers. The imagery and descriptions in Vampire Bait will make you feel like you are overseas, a welcome escape for 2020. And we go beyond Twilight with a heroine determined to stand on her own two feet and tackle vampires on her own terms.

7. Harsh Line by Ann Gimpel

Vampires do not exactly qualify for the endangered species list, but I am done skulking in shadows. Gloves off, baby!

Ann writes lush, kickass characters, bringing the lens in close. Her vampires feel like, well, vampires. They are not just people with a set of fangs tacked on. Ariana Hawke has been running from her past, vampire style, for centuries. Nickolas was once a master vampire. A scouting trip to add to his seethe goes horribly awry and strands him in a future he is ill-equipped to deal with. Add a shapeshifting wolf, who is not a shifter at all, to the mix, and the stage is set for a page-turning, midnight-oil-burning binge.
