As you may remember, I rediscovered one of my early loves in life, reading. As a youngster I loved art and reading so much I wasn't sure I would be an artist or an author. Funny how life turns out, but I am now neither.
However, the darkness had settled in my head over the past few days. It was bad. I remembered how much going to the gym cheered me up, so after a day of sloth and depression. I went to the gym and felt better. But what really helped me turn the corner was picking up a novel the night before. It was a novel I had picked up at the library about two weeks prior by an author a friend recommended. It was the only book I could find by her at the time in the library. It was "Stroke of Midnight" by Laurell K. Hamilton.
The book took off slowly for me because I was expecting it to be about vampires. She has written a whole series about Anita Blake Vampire Hunter. When I picked up the book at the library I was kind of distracted by my daughter so I just grabbed it thought it might make for some fun reading later. It turned out to be about faeries living in the modern world. What a crazy concept but I was suckered in and finished the book wicked fast. I was so lost in the story and the descriptions of the faerie folk. Now I am obssessed with finding the rest of the books in this series. Forget the vampire hunter stuff for now. I want more faeries!

The fairie series by her rocks. I like it better than the vampire. The early vampire books are great, but after a while she changed publishers and it became all about the soft porn. Which isn't always a bad thing but the first books were so much more than just sex, they had story and substance - now not so much story.
