As an avid reader of all genres with the paranormal being my favorite, I’m always looking for new authors to read. When Darkness Comes sounds like my kind of read, gotta love the vamps!

I love to read anything and everything, but when the darkness comes I prefer a suspensful offering. And a nice comfy chair!

My favorite past time when darkness comes is to curl up in bed with a good book.

I’m a night owl so when darkness comes and everyone’s asleep I like to turn in with a dark and suspenseful book to keep me company until the darkness comes and claims me too.

When darkness comes, you can find me with a great book, and coffee, coffee, coffee….

I’ll have to go with the majority curling up and reading especially during the colder weather.

I really enjoy opening up a good vampire romance novel. I like Mary Janice Davidson and J.R Ward.

When Darkness comes in my woods where I live, I retire to my room with a good vampire romance book and read until 3 or 4 in the morning. I have been a night person for a long time now. My friends joke that I am a Vampire at heart?? Maybe.

When Darkness comes I like to kick back in a recliner with a good. That’s what I do about every evening
June 28th, 2007 at 9:56 pm
I like to soak in a nice bubblebath with a good book

I am looking forward to this book. I have read all the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books but have just recently started branching out, looking for great writers of paranormal romance.

When darkness falls I am subject to an overwhelming dispair I need only experience at times like those, and I often fall prey to my emotions. My reactions range from unruly fluffing of pillows and snuffing out of lights to more…extreme measures better left unsaid. Generally though at this point my mind has been released from the spell most good writers weave into their stories and drifts - willingly or not - off to create its own.

I love to write my spookiest scenes after dark. Especially if it’s slightly windy, and the moon is full. LOL.

Ahhhh…..When Darkness Comes I like to kick back in my recliner, my PJ’s on, and a blanket. I turn the lights down low (but bright enought to read) and grab my book. I like a book that’s so interesting, that I get lost in the story and envision myself in the role of the main character (female of course) and wait for my own Dark Prince to call! Now that’s my kinda book! I have been partial to Laurell Hamilton but need to expand my horizons. Any suggestions?

yes try Lara Adrian she is pretty good

When darkness comes, I like to take a walk by the pond. It’s quiet and beautiful when the light has faded and there’s no one there but me.

When darkness comes……I get in the story! I love reading Lara Adrian and J.R. Ward. I just get lost in the story line. I work so hard during the day, it’s the time when I escape and relax in the romance. I share all my books with my friends and we text often when we hit an amazing chapter. It makes me laugh when I get a text message.. “I am so addicted now”. I always warn them in the beginning. When my eyelids get heavy, I fall to sleep with my favorite Tall, Dark, and Fanged alpha male in my thoughts.

When darkness comes … especially in the winter you will find me curled up on pillows in front of the fireplace … reading. The family problems, the real world, work and everything else disappears and I find myself in whatever world the book takes me. For that I thank every author out there!
