Pierce Book Three by Jolie Du Pre

Pierce
Book Three

A Vampire Series

By: Jolie Du Pre

When I first started reading this book, the first thing that truly caught my eye, was the pole dancing. It made me smile, because I of course know the author. I was impressed that she actually managed to insert a piece of herself into this book.

Trixie is a blonde and beautiful pole dancer. She isn't a Vampire, but she of course gets to meet one, and his name is Chris. And like most people, she finds them intriguing, but uncertain if she wants to turn against the 'team vampire' or not, or maybe join, she can't help but wonder what is the right decision to make. If Trixie decides to get Vampire killers involved, this could be a terrible fate for all.

In the meantime, Alicia and Dagon finally tie the knot and Louie has finally forgiven Jezebel for klepto ways, and Jezebel insists that she will be putting the past behind her and keeping it there, point blank and period. Chris meets Trixie and wants to show her the light and the ways of the world of vamps but Trixie isn't sure that is exactly what she wants. 

At Alicia and Dagon's wedding, its when the real tensions start arising, and the true spirits start to fly. This is where the problems start to arise.

Suggestion: It is best to read the books in order, because the characters do appear in the other books. However, the books can be read alone.

I found this book to unique in its own way, as with each of the stories, in "Pierce." I love how each book flows together, and there is always something different in each story, and they are action packed, to keep you reading, and wanting more. You feel like you are right there. 

I give this book five stars, and love reading these books about "Pierce." These are unique Vampires, that like to get out there and make  difference. They aren't just here to kill and be killed. These are classy vampires, a step above most. It makes them more fun to read and understand. They seem more people friendly, and I truly like that about them. You truly need to check out this series, you'll be glad you did.

My questions for Jolie:

1. Do you have any photos of these characters?

No, I don't.  However, I have an active imagination!


2. I love that you included pole dancing! Finally! Did it excite you to write about it?

It was just nice being able to insert a bit about pole dancing and actually be familiar with it!


3. Which of the Pierce series characters (thus far to #3) are your favorite?

I love book #2.  It contains a female vampire who likes to rob convenience stores and other fun stuff.


4. How long do you plan on the Pierce series lasting?

Actually, I'm done with the series.  My focus now is on the multi-author boxed vampire romance book I've recently published - For the Love of the Vampire.  It contains work by a number of best-selling authors, including a couple of New York Times Best-Selling authors.


5. Where is your favorite place to write?

In my office.


6. What all education have you had?

I'm college educated.


7. What are your future plans?

I'd like to write fiction full-time. That’s my goal.


8. What is your favorite thing about being a writer?

Being able to put my active imagination on paper.


9. What can you suggest to aspiring writers?

Don’t expect success to come easy.  Also, understand that you can get success and then lose it soon after you get it.  Keep writing.  Keep at it.

Pure Adrenaline by Nikki Prince

Pure Adrenaline

By: Nikki Prince

When I opened this book that I won through “BoroughsPublishing Group” and their Christmas event, I was pretty excited for many reasons. Firstly, I had never heard of Nikki, secondly I had never read a book about two men in a relationship. This would be a great experience, so I truly looked forward to it all around.

The dedication grabbed it right from the start: “For those who believe “Love is Love” and that “Love is colorblind.”” When I read that, I knew Nikki would have a book that would be worthy of my time right here. I also knew that Nikki would be one of those Authors that I would be keeping around. She was a definite keeper. 

Then I continued reading, and hit this part: “I’m tired of this same damn argument!” Instantly I relaxed. Okay, this is a true to life book. Everyone argues, we’re all the same. Why am I thinking this book is going to be any different?

Shortly thereafter that, we read: “I’m not ashamed of you, and I’m not ashamed to be gay!” How often do we hear of ‘gay’ people saying this, but not acting on it. Quite a lot, if I do say so myself. But this was intriguing because these men weren’t ashamed of one another, and they wanted to make it work. And as you read, you’re actually rooting for them. They’re sexy, romantic, and perfect for one another. 

Here I am reading and hoping that Julian and Pierce will be succeed. They are everything you want for one another, and just like every relationship, they keep having their issues, and making mistakes. You want to help, and you just keep reading. The romance is so deep, the love is so real. And your feelings are right there with them. 

I love the fact that once they realize they are meant for one another, Julian and Pierce aren’t afraid to come out and make their life and love known to the world. That is how love should be known, no matter who or what you are. Like Nikki said, “Love is Love.” If you don’t like who someone loves, deal with it. It Isn’t your business!

And from what I was told, as I learned from Nikki, this book, was written, and rewritten several times. I don’t know how it was at first, but it is total perfection right here, right now. I was totally in love with “Pure Adrenaline”. I just was right there, rooting them along, wanting everything to work out, and watching as I read. It is a five star book, strong and sound, sensitive, and represents the LGBT community in every sense of the way. If you haven't read it yet, you truly should.

My Questions for Nikki:

1. You wrote this book for School? What was the grade you received on it "before" you added more pages and perfected this book?  

I got an A on the paper and in the class. :)



2. What is your favorite book that you have ever read (of someone else's?)

My most favorite book (though I have a lot of them) is Gabrielle by Theresa Conway from 1977.




3. What is your favorite book of your own?
I have to say that my most favorite is On Angel's Wings.


4. Who are/is your favorite Author(s)?
Oooh my I have a lot...here are some.  Some oldies from when I was younger are Johanna Lindsay, Theresa Devine, Bertrice Small.  Authors from now are Shyla Colt, Louisa Bacio, Sabrina Sol, Alanna Lucas, Kate Pearce, Delilah Devlin, Sheri Whitefeather...and many more...I love to read.


5. What are your hobbies?
Gaming.  Any kind of games.  I played World of Warcraft for 6 years before I decided I needed to give it up to write and become published.  I play games with my kids...right now we are playing Call of Duty Black Ops 3.   I also love to travel and try new food.



6. What are your future plans?
Future plans after I finish my Masters this year are to get my Teaching Credential and my PhD.  I also plan to continue to write.



7. What was your favorite childhood story?
I loved Willy Wonka.  Absolutely loved the movie and the book as a kid.



8. How long have you been with Boroughs Publishing Group?
I've been with Boroughs almost a year.  I am published with several publishers since 2012.


9. What was your favorite scene is "Pure Adrenaline?"
My favorite scene is when Pierce and Julian go to Julian's office party.  Because this right here shows Pierce that Julian loves him and wants a life with him.

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?

I don't have specific photos.  What I can say is that my characters are all attractive Millennials.  The 22 to 28 range are my ages.

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.

7. What are your hobbies?
