«Besedy o kino i kinorezhissure» — eto ne uchebnik i ne suhaya teoriya, a zhivoe, iskrennee, poroy gorkoe, no vsegda gluboko professionalnoe razmyshlenie o tom, kak rozhdayutsya velikie filmy, pochemu literatura — mat kino, kak rabotaet montazh v proze Tolstogo i Pushkina i pochemu rezhissyor dolzhen «videt» dazhe to, chto ne napisano v stsenarii.

THE BLOOD CURSE is Book 2 in the DRAMATISED (with music and sound effects) Audiobook installment of the steamy, medium-burn paranormal reverse harem romance series–THE HOUSE OF SHADOWS–featuring dark secrets, wicked magic, and dangerous mates. For mature readers only. When the supernaturals of New Orleans want revenge, they will stop at nothing to get it. The Crescent Coven made their move against the House of Shadows, and people were still dying for it. Trapped and alone, I am terrified I will never see my men again. The broody vampire, the adoring fae, the romantic wolf, and even the detached dragon had weaved their way into my heart. I couldn't stand to lose them now. I wouldn't survive it. The truth has been revealed. I am not fully human, and that curse puts a target on my back. The coven wants me gone. The men need my special birthright to make them stronger. And I must learn how to tap into my magic before the coven finds a way to take them away from me forever.

OUR BOND IS GROWING STRONGER. But will it be enough to survive the war brewing in our city? The House of Shadows is in disarray, and I fear the Crescent Coven may have already won. When three of my men are taken from me, my broken heart struggles to see a way out. Our only choice is to align with those more wicked and more cunning—and much more dangerous than the enemies we're fighting against. Allies who have agendas of their own and make no excuse for coveting what Roman has collected. IT WAS NOT MY TURN TO SAVE THE MEN. To harness my new power and enhance their beasts. To tap into my legacy without fear or without my human weaknesses holding me back. But summoning the darkest parts of my soul comes with a price. And that cost might devastate us all if I can't find a way to control it. The Blood Wars is the final book in a steamy, medium-burn paranormal reverse harem romance series featuring dark secrets, wicked magic, and dangerous mates. For mature readers only.

When my parents were banished from Wolf City before I was born, I thought there was no way I would ever live in a pack again. Cuffed, with my shifter magic bound, I was forced to go to school with witches and vampires in order to keep my true nature from coming out. Then I met him. Sawyer Hudson. The Alpha's son was visiting the Delphi College for Magically Banished Youth and spotted me. He took one look at me, and an hour later, I was being pulled out of school, taken into Wolf City and leaving my parents and everything I knew behind. It's the Alpha's son's selection year, the year he must pick a mate, and every female aged 18-22 must be in attendance. I've landed myself in the middle of Werewolf Bachelor, and just when I think I've got a handle on things, Sawyer releases my cuffs, unbinds my magic, and sees what I really am. The problem is, I don't know what this creature is that I transform into. It's not an ordinary werewolf, that's for damn sure.
