Twelfth Grade Kills (The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod #5) by Heather Brewer
Vlad’s running out of time. The Elysian Council has given him weeks to live, and that’s if the Slayer Society doesn’t kill him – along with all the citizens of Bathory – first. Then there’s the issue of Vlad’s father, who may or may not still be alive after all these years, and oh yeah, that tiny little detail in the Pravus prophecy about Vlad enslaving Vampirekind and the human race. So much for college applications.
In this epic finale to Heather Brewer’s heart-stopping Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, dark secrets will be revealed, old friends will become enemies, and warm blood will run cold. Just be careful it isn’t yours.
Explore This! Castles of Wales and England
I dislike being redundant, but all of the other books I’ve read lately gave me no inspiration for this post, so it seems we remain in Great Britain for this weeks post. But I am heading in a different direction, so hopefully you enjoy 🙂
I have just finished reading The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory, a master of historical fiction. In her most recent novel, we follow the life of Lady Margaret Beaufort/Tudor/Stafford/Stanley, which may not mean anything to those of you not big on historical fiction, but she may be better known to you as Henry VII’s mother and Henry VIII’s grandmother. How’s that for lineage?
I’ve included here what I’m sure is a small portion of castles to be found within Wales, where Lady Margaret lived for a short time during her marriage to Edmund Tudor …

Keta: And thank you for agreeing to host my blog tour for Where The Rain Is Made.
BLI: When did you seriously sit down, and say to yourself, I’m going to write a novel?
Keta: I really never sat down and said, “I’m going to write a novel.” I wrote a sensual historical romance based on a family history story, one slow chapter at a time. When I was finished, a few friends encouraged me to submit. I knew very little about the craft when I wrote it, but submitted to a very small press. With a lot of help from one of their editors, the book was eventually ready for publication. And …
