Creepin' -- Anthology

Creepin' -- An anthology of African American paranormal erotic romance featuring L.A. Bank, Donna Hill, Monica Jackson, J.M. Jeffries and Janice Sims.

I'm going to start by saying I'm not a huge fan of anthologies, normally something doesn't work within each story, whether it's pacing, or amount of story or back story.

But, I absolutely LOVED Creepin'. Each story is unique and different. Each hits different levels of romance, erotica and horror. It's the horror mark that really works for me. Each story deals with revenge and justice, but in a paranormal environment.

Payback is a Bitch by L.A. Banks--Sidney Coleburn-West has a cheating bastard for a husband. And he needs to be dealt with, in comes Mitchell "Brick" Brickland to the rescue. Turns out Brick is a werewolf and decides Sidney's going to be his mate, but first they need to deal with the husband. I particularly liked this one, it was my first L.A. Banks story and I'll be looking for her back list.

The Heat of the Night by Donna Hill--Chris has been in love with her best friend, Melody, for years. Mel has no idea, but Chris now has a nightly visitor, and she is completely hot for whatever it is and loves what it does to her body. And, she's not willing to share, not even with Mel. This is by far my favorite story of the five. It's hot, it's spooky and it has an ending that could rival anything by the favorites within the horror genre. If you like the odd ironies of Stephen King short stories, this one will probably work for you--it did for me.

Vamped by Monica Jackson--another fun story. Joy's fiance, Andre, is a bit of a homebody. Goes to work and comes home, nothing in between. Joy insists he make an appearance at a work related event to prove to her coworkers he actually exists. Well, there's a reason he doesn't go out in public, regular visits from a vampire named Dahlia, she uses him for feeding and sex and he wants no part of it. Somehow (I'm not telling) Joy is infected. I'm stopping here in the story synopsis because I don't want to give anything else away. This one's an erotic romance and the ending is a little convenient, but I liked it and it certainly didn't take away from the overall story. And, I'm not certain if there would have been any other way to reach the HEA--so it works.

Balancing the Scales by J.M. Jeffries--Paloma Alexander is a Superstar with a lying, cheating, thief for a husband. She's willing to give up everything to be free of him even her most prized possession--her voice. Loved this story, not only is it about revenge, it's about the poetic justice that can go with it.

Avenging Angel by Janice Sims--Sarai is a member of the Nephilim group Grigori. The Grigoris are dedicated to God, unlike the Nephilim group The Sons of the Morning Star who are dedicated to Lucifer. It turns out an old boyfriend from The Sons of the Morning Star wants her back, but she's happily married to a human, a professional boxer turned politician, a good man doing good things and Sarai loves her husband and wants no part of the ex. The ex needs to be dealt with--that's it anything else is a spoiler. This was my least favorite of the group and it's still a good story, of course a Good vs. Evil story always works for me.

Be prepared not all the stories are romances, but all are extremely erotic. I read the entire book in one sitting at my computer, anyone who knows me, knows that's saying something about just how good this book is.

Well that convinces me. I've been intrigued by this one ever since I found out it had horror elements in it. J.M. Jeffries told me she was going to be signing copies at RWA, so I think it will be one of my Literacy Signing purchases.

I haven't read L.A. Banks, but I hear good things about her vampire series. They circulate like hot cakes here at work....

What Wendy said. Well, mostly. I definitely want to give this a try.

This one piqued my interest when I first heard about it. Since you and I have very similar tastes in reading, I'm glad to hear you really liked Creepin. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it in the stores.

I've been waiting for this one, feels like forever now. I'll be one happy gal when my sweet little pre-order comes in.

Wendy, not all of the stories are overwhelming with horror, but the mix with erotica and romance to a lesser extent worked for me. I definitely liked LA Banks voice, it hooked me right away.

Rosie, hope you like it.

Jaye, Since you and I have very similar tastes in reading... Oooo feeling the pressure.

Meljean, after reading the synopsis in RT I knew I'd be giving it a try.

SEO是 Search Engine Optimization 的缩写,在中国翻译成了“搜索引擎优化”一般可简称为搜索优化.
在国外,SEO开展的比较早,那些专门从事SEO的技术人员被Google称之为"Search Engine Optimizers",即SEOs.由于Google是目前世界最大搜索引擎提供商,所以Google也成为了全世界SEOs的主要研究对像,为此Google官方网站专门有一页介绍SEO,并表明了Google对SEO的态度.最近SEO博客也有了空前的繁荣。
对任何网民来说,搜索引擎多是大家上网不可缺少的工具。google 作为全球最受欢迎的搜索引擎。每天处理高达1.5亿次的搜索请求,快速准确的搜索结果使大家对Google情有独钟。搜索程序所使用的Pagerank系统(网页级别技术)。更是深受SEO优化排名者的喜爱。度虎谷后SEO博客作为资源站迅速冲击网络。他们多为cn域名。一大部分多是垃圾站点。但有不乏例外如凌枫博客SEO日志对seo初学者来说有很大的帮助。大家有时间可以亲自去看看。
别的搜索引擎提供给搜索者的是多种渠道得来的一个粗略的搜索结果,而Google提供给它的搜索者的则是它自己产生的高度精确的搜索结果。这就是为什么网站管理员会千方百计去提高自己网站在Google的排名。龙翔做的也是从中崭露头角。
Google的排名运算法则主要使用了两个部分,第一个部分是它的文字内容匹配系统。Google使用该系统来发现与搜索者键入的搜索词相关的网页;第二部分也是排名运算法则中最最重要的部分,就是Google的专利网页级别技术(Pagerank)。
如何在WEB2.0时代使自己的网站产生营收,这是制约网络公司发展的最大瓶颈之一,单纯的网络营销广告已经很难取得商家的信赖,新生的WEB2.0网站很难在竞争激烈的网络广告里分到米粒,忧伤满杯,更不要说做大做强。天涯社区之前发布自己的广告系统,所谓的话题推荐广告(我暂且这么称呼),其实很早都在应用,而天涯只是在服务功能上细化了一下,未必也是一种尝试,而天涯巨大的流量每年产值区区百万相比,仅仅是一种探索,是否取得成功,还有待市场的考验,相比之下,如爱情公寓等交友类网站目前也是唯一能找到自身盈利模式的网站。所以VIP会员服务,成了交友类网站收入的最大来源,这成了国内交友网站发展迅猛的特色之一。国内互联网用户有付费阅读意识的少之又少,任何资料都可以通过搜索引擎获取,国内唯一走在最前端的起点文学网,在盛大的巨资支持下,在我眼里成了最成功的ewgoogle公司。有好的平台和高密度的人群,却没有清晰的盈利模式,便成了国内互联网的一大特色。
