I received this book as a gift in return for an honest review. This author never fails to amaze me in his writing. He is able to go from one genre to the next with a blink of an eye!! There is horror, suspense, and some good old humor that sets this author apart from other authors. He is extremely talented when it comes to telling you a story and keep your interest from beginning to end!!! Unfortunately, the ending was disappointing and I am in desperate need of knowing more, so of course there will be a book 2 because of the HUGE cliffhanger at the end!!!! A definite RECOMMENDED READ for any horror loves from teens to adults and you will be left hanging and speechless but craving to know more about these characters!!! I always feel like I am apart of these stories and this one is no exception!!! JH Glaze is an extraordinary author that knows his audience and what they like!!! Thank you, JH Glaze, for this remarkable read that is such a mind boggling story that I will crave for years to come!!! I give this story 10+ RUNES!!

I was gifted an ecopy of this book in return for an honest review.


"When we try to hide from our fears,they always know where to find us, for they are a part of us"~JH Glaze. That pretty well sums it up and what an awesomely true quote this is. I thought about this quote a lot while reading this story. I absolutely LOVE the writing style that this author has. He is phenomenally talented in all genres and now age groups. I love how this story starts off right where book one left off. I still laughed and enjoyed every minute from beginning to end. I was shocked as much as Jake was at the beginning of this story. All the heritage and ancient findings in the story amazed me and I am eager to read more about these special RUNES. The characters are still lovable and Pete is as funny as ever. I am extremely excited for the third book and by reading book two how many of these awesome little stories there will be in total. I loved the cliffhanger in this one and I am excited to learn more about Jake's nemesis. This is a RECOMMENDED MUST READ YA that will have you craving more of this marvelous Author's work. Thank you, JH Glaze, for another exciting adventure into this remarkable world you have created!! I give this story 10+ RUNES!!

It’s the life I was born to live: billionaire’s daughters, living among the rich & famous. But my mom kept me a secret from my dad. Until now.

I am so out of my league. Fancy parties, expensive cars, and a private school for the elite… It sounds like a dream. But everything is not as perfect as it seems on the outside. Here, the secrets are dirty, and the lies comes easy.


Welcome to my fab life.

“You look amazing,” I hear Gabe’s voice. I turn around, and see him standing inches from me. I take a step back.
“Thanks.” I take a good look at him. He looks good in his designer suit. He even fixed his hair. I have to admit, Gabriel is very gorgeous. If he wasn’t so overbearing I think I could like him. Maybe.
“Where is your date?” He asks.
I shrug. “Your guess is as good as mine. He disappeared about ten minutes ago with Jason and Emmett.”
“His loss is my gain.” Gabriel holds out his hand for me. “May I have this dance?”
I start to say no. I should say no. But, instead, I say “Yes.” What could it hurt? It’s not even a slow song. Once he sees how bad of a dancer I am, he will gladly ditch me.
Gabe takes my hand in his and leads me out to the dance floor. I hate the butterflies that appear in my stomach when he is touching me. But I also love them. No matter how much I want to deny it, Gabriel has a part of my heart. But he can’t keep it.
Just as we step on the dance floor, the song changes.
To a slow song.
Really?
Gabe smiles mischeviously, and pulls me close to him. I put a couple of inches between us, but he pulls me closer. I should pull away, but I don’t. Our stomachs are touching, and my chest is against his.
“I don’t think you realize how beautiful you look tonight,” Gabe says. “I bet every guy in this place is envious of me right now.”
Gabe’s words are sweet. Ty has said similar things to be, but it feels different coming from Gabe. Maybe more genuine? I don’t know, but I like it.
I am in trouble.
“I’m here with Ty,” I remind him.
My words don’t affect him at all. “You say that, but where is your date? Right now, you’re mine. I intend to enjoy this moment very thoroughly.” He slides he hand down to my lower back, right above my butt. He’s teasing me, and I pretend like it isn’t effecting me. I like his hand there. Part of me wishes he would slide it further down.
I lay my head against Gabe’s chest, and listen to the steady sound of his heart. I smell his cologne, and it smells good. Though I suspect he would smell good no matter what.
Gabe leans down, kisses my cheek, and then whispers in my ear. “One day, you will be mine.”
His words should make me mad, but they don’t. Instead, my heart beats faster. My stomach feels like I’m free falling, only I’m not scared. I’m excited. Whatever this is between us feels so real.
Your boyfriend is Ty, I remind myself.
I choose not to reply to Gabe’s comment. I just let him hold me close as we dance. I try not to think. I just want to feel. I know it’s wrong, but after this dance I will go find
Ty. I will forget this ever happened. I can’t fall for Gabe. As bad as Ty thinks he is for me, Gabriel is that much worse. He not only has the ability to break my heart, but to rip it into so many shreds that I may never find all the pieces.
“I wish I would have went after you first,” he whispers again. “You should be mine. It isn’t fair.”
“We don’t always get what we want.” I say it more for me than for him.
“I know that you don’t want him,” he replies. “I see the way you look at me, and I see the way you look at him. You belong with me, Kihanna.”
“Maybe so, but I am with him. Not you.”
“You could be.”
I take a step back. “I’m sorry, I have to go.”

Most of my favorite authors are indie or self-pubbed, what made me you decide to go that route?
I have to say that I didn't start out wanting to go the self-published route, but now that I am... I enjoy the ability
to work on my time-table.



What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?
The complexity of each individual character. Even if they're secondary, they still have a vast story :)


Which of your characters are you most like? Least like?
A little bit of me goes into each of my characters, but I'm probably most like Lilyann. I'm strong on the outside, but I'm always questioning myself.
I'm least like Brentleigh. She's my main character in Perfect Complication. She's timid about things. It takes her a bit to find herself... her voice.



Do you have a particular writing habit?
I write in my batcave. It has to be completely quiet aside from my iPod. Coffee and Greek Yogurt are a must. PLUS... I can't write unless I have on my fuzzy Eeyore socks.

If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
If I had to choose only one, it would be L.J. Smith.

Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
I'm really digging Cameo Renee at the moment. I just started Hidden Wings and it's fabulous! Make sure you check it out!

What is the hardest part of your writing?
Time. It seems as though there is just never enough of it.

Do you have any advice for other writers?
Just to keep writing. Refine your craft.

Describe yourself in three words.
Honest. Hard-working. Emotional.

I know characters are like children but if you could chose, who’s your favorite from your books? Of all time?
My from my own books... I can't pick. That's like choosing which one of your kids is your favorite. From someone else's book?
Travis Maddox from Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire.

Any song or songs that could basically sum up the overall mood of your writing Blood Moon?
Yes. My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light'em Up) by Fallout Boys Blood Moon is very fast paced, fresh and dark.

Do you plot out your books or just freely write them and let the characters tell you what to do next?
I make a general map. But, in all honesty the characters write the books themselves.

If you had to choose, which writer would you consider the biggest influence in your writing?
Richelle Meade. I love her spunk and charisma!

What are your current projects? Can you share a little of your current work with us?
I'm working on 2 different projects at the moment; Conversion, the next full length novel in the Moon Coven Series and Perfect Complication, my first New Adult Contemporary Romance. Umm... I'll be sharing bits in the near future. Keep an eye on my fanpage ;)



Okay, so I'm supposed to tell you about me...
Seriously, if I wrote a book about myself it would take you ten minutes to read and you would be bored stiff after the first two! LOL
I'm a full-time writer, wife, and mother. Which basically means there's always a surplus of pencils lost somewhere in my hair, I usually have some place to be (I'm always late), I have a bad habit of calling family and friends random character's names (from my books), I talk to myself because no one else listens to me, and I can throw together a mean dinner for eight with only ten minutes notice and four ingredients in the pantry, LOL.
If you can't find me on the sidelines of my sons' football games, online, cooking, cleaning, shopping, at the local coffee joint or on the phone wandering aimlessly throughout my house then I've probably hidden myself in my "bat-cave" to write.
I have a positive attitude, and absolute fun-loving approach to life. That makes it easy for the voices in my head to take over on a regular basis providing endless hours of entertainment for my pleasure, and hopefully yours.
Random facts about me:
~My favorite color is pink
~I have a Bishon Frise puppy named Cullen Edward
~My favorite music is hip-hop
~I have a severe addiction to coffee. So much so, that those in my inner circle refuse to speak to me before caffeine O'clock! True Story
Enjoy the ride.
~K.B. xoxo
