Genre: YA Paranormal
Synopsis:
Isis can control her dreams. Or she could-until recently. The creature in her nightmares has been haunting her for months. As if being dumped wasn’t bad enough, now she dreads going to sleep. She decides to confront the creature and win back some of her peace; only, she finds that he’s not a monster and he’s not a dream.
A sacrifice for love, a shocking discovery and a jealous ex-boyfriend blur the lines between reality and dreams, making it hard to tell who the real monsters are.
Who would’ve known…that sometimes love is lethal?

“It’s
not working,” David said. “Why isn’t it working?”
“You
don’t have much time. If the corrosion reaches her chest, she’s
going to die,” Nyx said.
“I’m
going to die?” I mumbled.
I
always thought I would be afraid of dying. I carried that fear with
me since I was twelve, after looking inside that coffin at my dad’s
stiff, breathless body. But now that it was my turn, I was ready.
This was the destiny that was written for me.
“I
can’t do it, Mother. I have nothing to forgive her for,” David
said.
If I was going to die, I needed
to tell David something I hadn’t had the courage to tell him
before.
I
glanced at my arm. The decomposition was at my elbow and the tingling
had crept up near my shoulder. I didn’t have time to waste.
“David,”
I said, and he looked at me. “I’m sorry I hurt you. I needed you
to know...to hear it.”
I
could feel the tingling a few inches past my shoulder. Nyx pulled my
shirt at the neckline exposing my collarbone and part of my shoulder.
“I
love you,” I said. “I always have.”
“I’m
so sorry I did this to you,” David whispered stroking my forehead.
I
could no longer feel my arm, my shoulder and part of my chest. And
then I felt it—a searing pain in the middle of my chest. I writhed
in anguish, screaming at the top of my lungs. My whole body jerked,
and then there was darkness. Everything was silent, including my
heart.
A
soft light surrounded me, cradling me in a tranquility I had never
known existed. I struggled for a last breath, but it was too late.
The end was here.
I received an eARC copy of this book in return for an honest review. I wanted to start off by showing my review from the first time Creatura was released. "Great read full of love, romance, mythological creatures, suspense, and action and I can't wait to read the next adventures of Isis and David!! Thank you Nely Cab for such an awesome, breathtaking story!!" I still feel the same way about this book then as I do now. I love the romance, suspense, action, and the mythological creatures in the story. I the characters felt so real in my mind as I read this story for a second time. I loved every minute of the story from beginning to end of this remarkable book. It's addicting, enticing, and an all around fun read. I am in love with the main characters, Isis and David, in this story and how I felt like I was actually in the story watching from the sidelines everything that happened. This is a RECOMMENDED MUST READ that will capture your heart and soul and reel you in and keep you wanting more. I absolutely love the creative detail and the amazing world that this author has made for us to love and cherish forever. I so in love with the new cover as well, which will be revealed on July 18, 2013. Thank you again, Nely Cab, for writing this phenomenal story and one of my all time favorites and I still can't wait to read more about Isis and David's journey. I do believe that "Sometimes Love is Lethal" .
1.Can
you tell our readers a few details about you? Where you were born? Do
you have any brothers? Where have you spent your childhood?
I
was born in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico on December 9, 1974 (yes, I
am old. LOL!) I have one brother who is six years younger than me and
one sister who is 16 years younger than me. Although I was born in
Mexico, I have lived in Texas since I was an infant.
2.What
was your favorite game as a child?
I
used to like to play “make-believe” or pretend with my cousin. He
would pretend he was my pet monkey or dog and I would treat him like
an animal. LOL! It sounds very mean now, but it was a fun game. I was
only four-years-old, then.
3.How
did you spend your time, as a child, and later, as a teenager? Did
you love hanging out with friends, going on a concert or staying at
home, writing and reading?
When
I was a kid, I loved hanging out with my best friend and my cousins.
We would play with our dolls or play outside. During my child hood I
loved to read, but it would put me to sleep.
Later,
in my teen years, I liked going to the movies and to the mall with
friends and talking on the phone or watching television. I wasn’t
much of a party animal. My parents were very strict, so I wasn’t
allowed to be out too late. I would sometimes go to football games on
Friday nights with my cousin and some friends. I didn’t write much
when I was a teenager. I would imagine a lot stories and knew
someday, when I had the time and was older, I would write them.
Since I had so much reading to do for school, I never really read
books for pleasure. Shame on me.
4.Who
was/is your life model?
I
don’t think I have one because I admire different things from
different people.
5.Do
you love animals? If yes, do you have any pets?
I
like animals, but I cannot have any in my home because we are all
allergic to them.
6.What
place in this world would you love to visit most? You travel a lot?
I
would love to visit the entire world. I cannot commit to telling you
that I would prefer one place over the next because there are so many
beautiful things to see everywhere. I don’t travel very much –
maybe, once a year.
7.
What’s your favorite place for writing/reading?
My
office.
