Pretty When They Collide (A Novella in the Pretty When She Dies Universe)
By Rhiannon Frater
Publication Date: March 15, 2013
Genre: Adult Horror

An exciting new novella set in the world of Pretty When She Dies…

Cassandra is a dhamphir-the offspring of a vampire and mortal woman-and a thief of occult relics.

Aimee is a full-blood witch that is bound to a powerful vampire who traffics in the slavery of supernatural beings.

Both are powerful, lonely, and trapped in the dangerous world of the vampires.

When Cassandra steals a relic from Aimee’s vampire master, he targets her as his next acquisition. What he doesn’t realize is that a chance encounter between Cassandra and Aimee ignited a spark between them that they cannot deny.

To survive, the women must find a way to band together and fight against the ruthless evil that conspires to enslave them forever.

Best friends since kindergarten, Adam and Christy have always been the perpetual outsiders in their small town in Texas. The other kids call Adam gay and Christy a witch.

On both counts the bullies are right.

Their junior year in high school seems destined to be the same old same old until Christy decides to cast a love spell for Adam at the midnight hour. The next day an alluring and mysterious boy enrolls at school and sets hearts aflutter, including Adam’s. Meanwhile, Christy’s mad crush on the handsome football player Ian seems to be going nowhere fast and her witch puberty is making her life miserable.

When a great evil arrives in town that threatens everything they hold dear, the best friends realize that finding a boyfriend is the least of their worries. Soon Adam and Christy will have to battle a force of darkness that has killed in their town before, and will again.

Goodreads Summary

It’s time for another gushingly incoherent review! We can even make a drinking game out of it, just for fun (I would advise against using liquor though): for every “I really liked..” take a sip of whatever you’re drinking. For every “I loved..” take a full drink and for every minor curse word, chug whatever’s in your glass or cup. Assuming you’ve got something semi-healthy in there, I’m promoting kidney health, right?

Cover Reveal: The Midnight Spell by Rhiannon Frater and Kody Boye

What else could possibly go along with a shivery, thrilling new YA Paranormal by Rhiannon Frater and Kody Boye but a cover by Claudia at Phatpuppy Art? I can’t even think of any more superlatives to heap on Claudia anymore – her covers just make me..gaaaah. She’s done some others for Rhiannon (Pretty When She Kills, The Last Bastion of the Living and the new covers for The Tale of the Vampire Bride and The Vengeance of the Vampire Bride) that are amazing too and she really has a feel for the characters. Just looking at the cover, knowing the way they all work together – I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
