#GIRLROGUES

"They're dangerous to love, more dangerous to ignore - which girl are you?" Zizzi Bonah's collection of short stories and verses are for those with minds as broad as braggadocio, and nerves hard enough to rival a diamond from the first water. There's the writer who murders words that press upon her page, and serves up a word-corpse poem... There's the optician who extracts salt crystals from her clients' tears, and dashes them on her fish and chips... Not forgetting, the lady who blinks a truth-moment into a picture, she is a living camera... HEALTH WARNING: This book is rather like surviving your renegade's cooking, and should therefore be taken in small bites. For that reason, it comes with no letter of recomendation! ==> Note: paperbacks may take up to 3 weeks to arrive via post, whereas ebooks are instantly downloadable

But there she meets Voren, a werewolf who is a living contradiction to everything she has been led to believe.  Her journey into the lives of the pack entwines her and Voren's fates with that of a master vampire's: Arkadith. Defeating him may lift Voren's curse and bring peace to Valwood and Claw Haven, but Arkadith is determined to bring an end to this vampire huntress as well...
