Pierce 2

A Vampire Series

 

By Jolie du Pre

Love is always crazy for everyone, once you catch the bug.  You can’t think straight, make the right choices, all because of the infection known as love. <3

However, if you don’t already know, for Vampires, everything for them is already heightened. Therefore if they happen to fall in love- it too is much stronger.

Now imagine fighting the odds of a relationship, and then double it. That’s how it is for a Vampire. Once a Vampire falls for a human, and yes they can and have- that’s when things get real! Not only do they double, but it’s just a whole new ‘I want more!’ experience.

So, here we are in Michigan, the state that gets all of the Seasons. Hot, Cold, Wet, oh wait, My bad. I mean-Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. 

Firstly, this novella impressed me even more than the first. Jezebel is a rebel, and I totally love her name, it is so fitting of her character too! She is a kleptomaniac who has problems controlling her tendencies, and those very tendencies seem to hinder more than help.

The money she has been surviving on, was stolen from her last boy friend. And once it runs out, stealing isn’t helping her make ends meet, therefore she must land a job. Well, maybe this could be interesting and fun. Let's hope so.

At her new job she meets Steve. The thing is, can she stop stealing long enough and keep her Vampire self at bay long enough to keep this relationship? I mean after all, those both are her favorite things. And should she turn him into a vampire, or will he even want turned into one? Decisions, decisions….

I give "Pierce" book 2 five stars, because I totally fell in love with this one even more. It was much more entertaining than the first. This series is so intriguing I just couldn’t put it down, I read it in like a half an hour, and then re-read it again. This book is truly enjoyable, and made me smile, because I could truly picture everything perfectly, and felt like I was right there. You truly need to read this series, it is exceptional!

Here are my questions for Jolie:

1. Where do you choose your names and/or titles from?

Sometimes they come out of my head. Sometimes I use name generators I find online. Other times I ask my mailing list subscribers to come up with names. I run it as a contest, and the winner gets their name and website listed in my books.

2. Are you enjoying working on this series "Pierce"?

I love creating various paranormal romance scenarios for my Pierce characters. I love creating everyday situations that we all deal with love, jealousy, betrayal, etc.

3. Do you have big plans for "Pierce"?

No matter what happens with "Pierce," I plan to publish two novellas a month until the end of 2016. I believe more and more readers will find out about the novellas and will enjoy them.

4. Who is your favorite character or have they been written yet?

My favorite character so far in the “Pierce” novellas is Jezebel, found in Novella 2. She's a take charge, no fear type of vampire.

5. What was your favorite series to write and why?

My favorite series so far to write is “Pierce,” my current vampire series. I had a lot of fun with my “Benton” zombie series, too. However, I grew tired of writing about zombies. I have a vampire billionaire series coming up too - alpha male, sex, exciting scenarios.

6. What are your hobbies?

I pole dance for fitness. I also enjoy cooking healthy meals for my family, especially my husband since we're almost empty nesters.I like to garden. I don't know if reading and listening to good music are hobbies, but I enjoy doing those. 

7. Out of all the Authors/writers and people I've met- I liked that you aren't afraid to tell it like it is. How long have you been like that or were you always? If you weren't always- did something make you that way?

Thanks! I've always been outspoken. I grew up with strong black women in my family. That's where I got it from. For example, my grandmother is in her 90s, yet she's not afraid of anyone.

8. Do you ever get writers block?

Nope! If something is going on in my life that's bothering me, and depression hits, I won't feel like writing. Or if I have too many articles to write, it prevents me from writing fiction as much as I want. But it's never writer's block. I've got enough stories in my head to write about until the day I die. I was a huge daydreamer when I was little. Now I write all that stuff down.

9. Have you met any other Authors or writers?

Yes! I used to attend a lot of writers conferences. Most of it was before social media got going. Now, in the 21st century, an author can stay home and communicate online. It's still good to get out from behind your computer and meet authors and readers. I still do it.

Pierce: A Vampire Series Novella 1 by Jolie du Pre

Pierce:  A Vampire Series

Novella 1

By Jolie du Pre

Alicia Johnson, a 24 year old waitress has a strong fear of Vampires. So much so she refuses to work the night shift. As with any job, we all know how they are, and that there are times when we are needed to cover one another shifts from time to time.

 Alicia whom is already deep in debt compliments of a cheating ex fiance, eventually realizes she needs to take the shift. So she decides to talk her boss into calling a cab, and paying the fare, so at the very least she doesn’t have to deal with the bus system, and will feel safer.

This is a whole new World, the CDC has signs posted everywhere, warning people to beware of vampires, and the humans live in fear of them.

With a crazy Vampire like Bess, whose only desire is to be with Dagon, she will get sloppy and make mistakes. Bess, Dagon and Vince are traveling around determined to make trouble where ever they go. Dagon is a sexy hunk that once everyone sees him, they can't stop looking at him.

This book was fast paced and totally enjoyable. I loved how easily it was to follow along and understand. I also enjoyed the fact the language, though to most may be considered foul and adult, in all honesty, this is how most people speak. I like books that are more real life, and not afraid to act like people truly do, rather than act fake. 

I give this book five stars, because it is realistic, and short and sweet, more for the modern day and age. I like how fast paced it is, and realistic. The book itself, seems more true to life than a lot of books I have read. People like to pretend they talk all prim and proper, when in fact they don’t. Jolie calls them like they are. The same way she speaks! I like that about her! She isn’t afraid to act like someone herself behind a book, the same character she is in real life, portrays through her books. I like that about her! Very open and honest and classy! You need to check this book out, it is an excellent Vampire story that will knock your socks off!

My Questions for Jolie:

1. What made you write this?

I've always been a lover of monsters of all types.  Earlier, my focus was zombies.  However, I wanted to work on a different breed.  So, vampires it is!

2. How long did it take to write this?

It takes me approximately two weeks to write a novella.

3. Do you have any photos or pictures or descriptions of any of your characters?

4. Any suggestions to anyone wanting to become a writer?

Don't do it!  No, seriously, it's hard work with no guarantee of success.  I write only because there's nothing else out there that I want to do.

5. Who are your favorite Author(s)?

Augusten Burroughs, Truman Capote, Ann Rule, Vincent Bugliosi 

6. How long have you been writing?

Since 2000 or so.
