Free – A 5 Star Short Story – Would you like blood with that? – Dark Whiskey by Emma Meade

Dark Whiskey is a spine tingling short story (app. 7100 words) that will have you asking Emma Meade for more. It is amazing how so much can be contained in a small package.

The cover was designed by Clarissa at Book Cover Art. Hop on over and check her out.

goodreads-badge-add-plusJesse senses something off about the nightclub. She wants to leave, but her best friend, Tasha, is determined to have a night to remember. There’s no way Tasha’s turning down an invite to the VIP section.

Against Jesse’s better judgement, she follows Tasha up the ivory staircase to the mysterious room above.

The whiskey and champagne are flowing, and pretty soon the blood will be too.

Anyone anywhere in the world can download it from Smashwords as a pdf, mobi or epub.

Try Amazon.com if you’re in the US  /  Barnes & Noble  Sony  /iTunes 

And hopefully down the line Dark Whiskey will be listed as Free on international Amazon sites.

My Review

Uh oh! Jesse knew they should not have gone into the bar.

The vibes were bad and kept getting worse. She felt she should run, not walk to the nearest exit. But, she didn’t.

Dark Whiskey grabbed me from the first page and swept me through to the last. The suspense kept me racing through the pages. Emma Mead’s writing is easy to read and flows smoothly.  I can never figure out how an author can pack so much into a short story.

I must confess, I almost liked Eli.

I couldn’t help but laugh as Emma describes the girls. I had a girlfriend that was the motivator in our relationship, so I could relate to both of the girls.

Tasha got dumped and was determined to get back on the “horse”. Being BFFs, Jesse felt she had to be there for her, but wasn’t happy about it. Since her breakup, Tasha refused to go to their usual haunts, so, on to new territory. Have you been there, sticking by your friend, even when you know they are making a huge mistake?

Haven’t we all done something stupid when we were drinking? Okay, maybe not all of us.

I would love to hear more from Jesse and Eli. I feel there is a story to be told.

Beneath Manhattan Skies by Emma Meade

Publication Date: November 15, 2013

Genre: New Adult Paranormal Romance

(A 45,000 word Novella)

SUMMARY

November in New York is cold but full of possibility for college freshman Erin Harris. When her twin brother, Nick, shows up on her doorstep for a surprise visit, Erin is delighted. Unfortunately, Nick’s arrival coincides with the discovery of a body outside her apartment building, a body drained of blood. Right away, Nick assumes vampires are involved. He’s not exactly their biggest fan since Erin dated one in high school.

Juggling nosy roommates, a first date with a gorgeous guy from college and a brother on a Van Helsing kick is enough to keep any nineteen year old girl busy – And then Erin’s old flame walks back into her life.

Is Erin destined to be caught up in supernatural shenanigans, or will she choose a different path?

My review of Beneath Manhattan Skies by Emma Meade

Emma Mead’s books have interesting and pretty covers. Beneath Manhattan Skies is no exception. The words of the story flow smoothly across the pages, making Erin’s world believable, if you believe in vampires, that is. So, let’s go into the city and see what is happening.

Looking through Erin’s eyes, we see the world as a teenager, going through the angst of roommates and forbidden love during her college years. But, how many people can say they were jilted by a vampire? And what happens when he shows up again?

 I knew James, her vampire ex-boyfriend, would enter her world again, even as she struggled to move on from their break-up. Do you remember all those hormonal teenage uncertainties and insecurities?

Emma Meade’s descriptions of the characters make them come to life. Sadie is everything you could ever want in a best friend. Loyal, giving and accepting of Erin, vampires and all. The cast of characters stand by her and put their lives on the line to solve the mystery of the killer vampire and end his run of terror.

With plenty of mystery and the paranormal, I enjoyed this novella. I would highly recommend Beneath Manhattan Skies to all the Young Adult paranormal lovers out there.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Books, DVDS & TV show boxsets take up lots of space in her home and she collects all the Point Horror books she can get her hands on.

She is not ashamed to admit that Dirty Dancing and Twilight make her top ten movie list but wishes to point out that The Last of the Mohicans, Reality Bites, Dead Poets Society, Stand by Me and The Goonies are in there too.

Writing supernatural stories & watching marathon re-runs of Buffy are some of her favourite ways of escaping reality.

New Release Giveaway – The End Of The Line by Emma Meade

Yippee. Yay. I am happy to announce the release of a 5 STAR short story by Emma Meade. This is one you will want to add to your reading list.

She felt the depth of her despair left her no options.

,

Add To Goodreads

Twice she had stood on the tracks, staring down the iron monster. Twice she had jumped off, unable to go through with it.

“Third time’s the charm.”

She held her ground as the train approached. As it went through her, a man grabbed her hand, pulled her aboard, and said, “Welcome to the ……………..”

What the fuck?

Taz5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I love the cover of this book and think it is excellent. The colors and subject jumped off the page.  The title is great, too. Both are very descriptive of the story to be told.

Because of the subject matter and the way Emma dealt with it, I felt this book deserved a high rating. A perfect way to handle such a sensitive topic.

 A short story. Fast read. Once I “turned the first page”, I couldn’t put it down. Raced through it. I thought it might be too dark and depressing, but Emma’s approach to the subject of depression and suicide was both tragic and uplifting. We always have choices.

Cassie, the main character, seems both tragic and wimpy, weak. But it took her three times to go for it, so she still had her doubts. I wonder how many  people went through with it and realized too late they didn’t want to die. Others, you know they mean it. I know a girl who hung herself in her bedroom closet. Very obvious she wanted to die. All she had to do was stand up to stop it. How utterly bereft must someone be? So alone, with no hope.

A morbid subject, but one more talked about today than ever. Depression is actually treated, without a person becoming a pariah.

I liked the other characters, except for gross Syd. It wouldn’t be right if they were all easily likeable. We need a bad guy. Got to have someone to hate or dislike.

“Leap of faith.” Isn’t life just that?
