*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

We’re going to have a hard time bringing him in alive.  He has nothing to lose.  He isn’t a glory a glory seeker, trying to see himself in the news.  He’s a pure sociopath who enjoys killing by any available method.”

This week’s question:

If you read romance novels, answer this question:

Who are your favorite “romance” authors? Why?
My answer:
I am not a “typical” romance type of reader, unless there is a bit of suspense in the plot.  I will read authors such as Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, Danielle Steel and Sandra Brown.

Questions:

1. Did you get any Valentine’s Gifts?

Not yet

2. What is your favorite topping on something toasted?

3. Do you pick out your outfit the night before?

It depends if I have an appointment or not.  If not, its jeans and a sweater.

4. What food item do you absolutely despise?

Liver…so much so..I couldn’t even post a picture of it.

Righty

MIDNIGHT CALLER by Leslie Tentler

  Synopsis (borrowed from NetGalley): Late-night radio-show psychologist Rain Sommers is used to the crazies who call in to rage from the back alleys of the French Quarter and the shadows of the bayou. But one caller’s chilling obsession with her and her long-ago murdered mother—an iconic singer beloved among the city’s Goth community—has even the jaded Rain running scared as a sadistic serial killer known as the Vampire prowls New Orleans.
  FBI agent Trevor Rivette is convinced her midnight caller and the killer are one and the same. As it becomes disturbingly clear that the Vampire has a sick bloodlust only Rain can satisfy, she allows Trevor to get closer and closer. But he soon discovers that his secretive past and troubled present are intertwined—and that he may die trying to keep Rain’s fate out of a madman’s control.
  My Thoughts and Opinions: This book has a little of everything ranging from suspense, romance, past childhood trauma, family bonds, a serial killer on the loose, psychological terror and even vampire voodoo. Which, and this is my opinion only, is why I am not a fan of the newest genre rage of paranormal. For me, and again my opinion, it took away the believability factor of the story and how I couldn’t relate to that portion of the plot. I also thought that some scenes and/or chapters lacked substance and were improbable. The suspense sustained me, the main characters with their past traumas and how it affected them in the present were plausible.
