S.B.L.C. ~ The Latest on the Fever Series…
July 30th, 2010Latest KMM Tease: Barrons a beast? But, did her kill Mac’s Sister?
By: Diana M.of S.B.L.C./Paranormal Romance
Here’s the latest tease that Karen Marie Moning has sent out and it’s a doozy! Now, what would make Mac cry? Is she just relieved because she thinks she knows the killer or is she crying because of the identity of the killer? Is it Barrons? Or is that way too obvious? V’lane? Whatever. It sounds like Barrons is a beast. Maybe not THE Beast. But you read it and let me know.
“You killed my sister!” The dark lake in my head begins to boil. I hear rustles behind me, leathery wet sounds and I whirl. The freaks that killed my sister are taking advantage of the distraction and trying to leave.
Not a chance in hell. This is what I’ve been living for. This moment. My revenge. First the ones that killed her. Then the one who delivered her to them.
I lunge for them, screaming my sister’s name.
I slice and rip and tear.
I begin with my spear and end with my bare hands.
I fall on them like the beast-form of Barrons. My sister died in an alley with these monsters working on her and now I know it wasn’t fast. I can see her, white-lipped with pain, knowing she’s going to die, scratching a clue into the pavement. Hoping I’ll come, afraid I’ll come. Believing I could succeed where she failed. God, I miss her! Hatred consumes me. I devolve into vengeance, I embrace it, I become it.
When I finish there are no pieces larger than my fist.
I’m shaking, gasping, covered with bits of flesh and gray matter from smashing their skulls.
I double over and hit the pavement, puking. I puke until I dry-heave then I dry-heave until my ears ring and my eyes are stinging.
I don’t have to look behind me to know the street is empty. My sister’s murderer is gone.
I finally got what I came to Dublin for.
I know who killed my sister.
I curl in a tight ball on the cold pavement and cry.

S.B.L.C.’s book choice for August….
July 30th, 2010
Release Date: August 3, 2010
The editors of Wolfsbane and Mistletoe and Many Bloody Returns deliver a new collection-including a never-before-published Sookie Stackhouse story.
New York Times bestselling authors Charlaine Harris, Katie MacAlister, Jeaniene Frost-plus Lilith Saintcrow, Jeff Abbott, and more-send postcards from the edge of the paranormal world to fans who devoured Wolfsbane and Mistletoe and Many Bloody Returns.
With an all-new Sookie Stackhouse story and twelve other original tales, editors Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner bring together a stellar collection of tour guides who offer vacations that are frightening, funny, and touching for the fanged, the furry, the demonic, and the grotesque. Learn why it really can be an endless summer-for immortals.
Just so you know; Charlaine’s short story is titled, Two Blonds. The story revolves around our favorite heroine, Sookie Stackhouse, Pam and a stripper poll.
By the way, Last Bite Podcast will discuss this book on their podcast on August 8th.
Are you intrigued with the stripper poll story or any other short stories in the anthology?

A couple of the shows that EW is anticipating in the fall…
July 29th, 2010
During the fall TV season, Thursday nights will be a big night for us with the return of two of our favorites, the Vampire Diaries and Fringe. Most of the SookieStackhouse.com staff are dying to find out the resolutions to all the cliffhangers that left us hanging over the long, hot summer months.
Do you agree with EW’s ideas? If not, what do you think will happen? If you could care less for either of these shows, what show are you waiting for?
