NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

This is not the yellow brick road

that will lead you to fantasies.

This is the road of reality

that is determined by your choices.

Its course is charted by you.

Take care of the twists and turns.

It’s a ride of a lifetime.

SO PROUD OF MY 5 STAR REVIEW I HAD TO SHARE IT AGAIN

I needed a quick pick-me-up today to encourage me to write. I noticed this on my book’s Amazon link and it gave me the needed push. Thank you again!

PROUD OF MY 5 STAR REVIEW

A Great Vampire Mystery Romance, March 27, 2014

By Lee MacRae – See all my reviews This review is from: The Dead Game (Kindle Edition) Author Susanne Leist uses her words well and has written a story filled with the stuff that nightmares are made of. This isn’t your typical mystery that starts slow and builds. Instead, it starts with a bang and a creepy house, careens through twists and turns filled with surprise and suspense and keeps you guessing right to the end. Reclusive town residents, dangerous individuals, strange figures in hooded cloaks, romance along with strange buildings and happenings that make you think you’re on drugs…this story has it all. Highly recommended for those looking for a vampire mystery romance.

SEE THE RAINBOW

Source:boy-so-pale

I can see the rainbow.

I can almost touch it.

I can feel its radiating warmth.

But the road is too long.

With too many roadblocks.

Too many twists and turns.

I don’t have the strength.

Please help me.

I want it.

I need it.

Kirkus Review on Prey for The Dead

“Set five years after the events in Leist’s (The Dead Game, 2013) previous novel, this sequel aims to expand on the threat of Wolf and explore romance among the vamps. Readers will also enjoy a touch of mystery when they discover that Wolf’s spirit has migrated into a new body... The Florida coast is beautifully evoked by water that “shimmered in alternating shades of azure and cerulean blue” and “the scent of zinnias and lavender” that “permeated the gentle wind.” Most of the violence isn’t the traditional vampire neck biting but more in tune with battlefield carnage (“A body hung from the chandelier—a headless form—still wearing his shirt and pants, now saturated with blood”).” — Kirkus Reviews

THE DEAD GAME Series

The town of Oasis offers tourists a promising glimpse of paradise with white-sanded beaches and legendary sunsets. Life changes in the remote town as people disappear, and some even turn up dead on the beach. Overnight, the dream vacation spot becomes an unsafe haven harboring dark secrets and murder.
It begins with the mysterious invitation to a party at End House. It is a night that neither Linda Bennett nor her friends would forget. From this night forward, they find themselves trapped as pawns in a game...caught in a deepening quagmire of deceit and horror...in a power play between good and evil. Pursued by supernatural creatures, they must fight illusions and elaborate traps. To save themselves and the town, they must reveal the real face of evil--the one controlling the game and its elusive players.

In Book Two, Prey for The Dead, the fun continues as Linda and her friends pursue evil vampires through an exclusive club at Disney World to a showdown in the swamps of southern Florida.

Will Linda save her town? Can she find happiness with a vampire or a hybrid?
