Favorite Book:

Yellow Eyes by Rutherford Montgomery.

Yes, I realize this is a children's book. But to this day, I still distinctly remember this book as the one that got me back into reading books again after a "long" time of not reading. I still possess the paperback, and I'll never forget how much the story touched me.

Favorite Lesbian Fiction Book:

Ruby Fruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown.

I think this choice pretty much speaks for itself.

Rare Vintage by Dee Rismiller

$7.50

Jessica Morgan is a gifted profiler. Some might even use the term legendary when speaking of her skills. So much so that the FBI Director takes it upon himself to call her back into service years after a personal tragedy caused her to walk away from the Bureau. Returning with her profiling skills intact and a medical degree, Agent Morgan's task is to assess the investigation she's assigned, profile the UNSUB (unknown subject), and deliver the profile to the investigating agents before moving on to the next case. She works tirelessly, relentlessly, and most importantly...alone. Until now. The Director pairs Jessica with Dr. Erin Little, a skilled forensic pathologist and an outstanding FBI agent. Erin has earned a favorable reputation during her ten years at the Bureau. Erin's task force, assigned to find a serial killer dubbed The Slasher by the newspapers, continues to hit dead ends, prompting the Director to ignore Jessica's rule of working alone. He puts them together, knowing their combined skills are needed to catch The Slasher and bring him to justice. As sparks fly professionally and personally, Jessica and Erin race against time to stop the serial killer before he strikes again.

First Sight of Sun by Kayla Gornick

$8.50

Since becoming a vampire, Beatrice has avoided the first sight of the sun. That’s until Montana, a new werewolf in town, became determined to bring light back into her undead life. Beatrice Caswell is enjoying her quiet vampire unlife, when freshly turned werewolf, Vic Montana, shows up at her door uninvited. Caswell reluctantly agrees to help Montana adjust to her new life, despite their noticeable differences. Caswell is prissy and traditional. Montana is easygoing and very much atypical. She even turns into a puppy instead of a wolf. While their friendship is slowly growing, they’re discovered by local preteens. Caswell slowly realizes she’s got a crush on her werewolf compatriot. She admits this to the kids, who start setting up romantic scenarios to get the monster couple together. But Montana has bigger fish to fry, and things don’t get easier when Brick turns up. He's the werewolf who turned Montana in the first place, and he hates vampires. With supernatural bad luck, a host of local oddballs, and ancient monster feuds on top of the regular relationship troubles, it’s going to take a powerful kind of love for their special romance to survive.

A serial killer's daughter must prove her innocence when a new killer starts copying her infamous father's heinous crimes. Karina Jäger has spent twenty years running from her father’s legacy. As the daughter of a notorious serial killer, she’s built a quiet life far from the headlines. Even Aubrey Peterson, the tenacious true-crime author writing her father’s biography, can’t ruin what Karina has made for herself. But when fresh bodies appear in Karina’s sleepy Wisconsin hometown, suspicion turns toward her. With a copycat killer at large, Karina must confront a darker truth: she may not be so different from her father after all. And Aubrey might just be too tempting to resist. Natural Predator includes violence, death, and a consensual love scene. It is recommended for mature readers.
