Image
  Book Description   No other obsession strikes as hard as the love that hits a teenaged boy - especially if he's the sort of kid who is no saner than he wants to be.  From the moment Adam Webb sees Francine Haggard in the van that is supposed to return them to the Institute Loiseaux -the two young mental patients are inextricably connected. Adam will never let this girl go. From hiding her in his bedroom to spiriting her away to Minnesota's north woods, "Miss Entropia" becomes the focus of Adam's every thought and of everything he does. He believes her to be a goddess, his own goddess. But the pyromaniacal Miss Entropia will be neither worshiped nor owned. And so Adam's possessiveness is destined to push her to the breaking point.

Book Description   He's the good kind of vampire...sort of. Buried in the Heartland is a town that no one enters or leaves. Graf McDonald somehow becomes its first visitor in more than five years…and he was only looking for a good party. Unfortunately, Penance, Ohio, is not that place.

Supplies are low, the locals are ornery for a sacrifice and there’s a monster more powerful than Graf lurking in the woods. New men are hard to come by in this lonesome town, and this handsome stranger might be Jessa’s only hope for salvation. Even if she has to die first… Book Review   This was definitely a great book.  It was a dark, eerie tale that was interlaced with a dark humor.  Think of it as Janet Evanovich meets Twilight Zone.  I absolutely loved it.  Fir
