The Two Book Series That Got Me Into Supernatural

In January 2006 I was given a very brand new laptop and I rarely used it. Until that summer of 2006, boredom hit me. And I used that laptop not to play Blasterball but go on amazon and search for books! (I was a very nerdy seventh grader, still nerdy)

And one day while searching for books I came across Blue Is for Nightmare series written by Laurie Stolarz.

Ever since 2006, I have been in love with this series. Unfortunately, I haven't read the books since then because my stupid library lost copies of the White is for Magic. (Must acquire money to buy the series!)


Anyhow, imagine my surprise when I find out that a new book will be released in the series called BLACK IS FOR BEGINNINGS. September 2009. Next month!

The book is going to be a graphic novel and not just a novel-novel, which I wish it was. But oh well beggars can't be choosers.


(More info here)



The next book series was found simultaneously as the BLN series it is The Seer Series (total of five books published in the series) authored by Linda Singleton. This was found by the clever "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" feature that Amazon has each book's web page.


And just like BLN series I was freaking estastic to learn that this will also have a sixth book to the originally five books in the series. The book is called MAGICIAN'S MUSE, the 6th THE SEER in September of 2010. Long wait but its coming.


(Cover not available yet but I shall post when it is)



As well as these new books both Laurie Stolarz and Linda Joy Singleton are currently in the midst of publishing/completing new series, they are The Touch series and the Dead Girl series, respectively.


I have yet to read the Dead Girl series but I'm pretty sure I would enjoy it.

But I can tell you for a fact I loved the Deadly Little Secrets the first book in the series. Can not wait for book 2 Deadly Little Lies.


So these are the first two book series to really get me into Supernatural books like these. So thank you Laurie Stolarz and Linda Singleton.

Deadly Little Secrets by Laurie Faria Stolarz

Three months ago, Camelia’s life is saved by a mysterious boy. She doesn’t see him again, until the first day of her junior year. His name is Ben Carter and everybody in school claims that he killed his girlfriend. Camelia doesn’t know who or what to believe but she does know one thing, she is irresistibly drawn to him and his touch.

But shortly after Ben’s sudden appearance in her life, Camelia begins receiving chilling phone calls, various packages and notes. Ben persists that her life is in grave danger and tells Camelia that he can help. Camelia is wary about his offer especially with Ben’s mysterious behavior and the new rumors buzzing around school involving him. Can she trust the new and handsome boy with the so- called “shady” past?

Deadly Little Secrets, just like I suspected, did not disappoint. The book was amazing and an excellent start to the new Touch series by Laurie Faria Stolarz (author of the Blue is for Nightmares series). The plot was mesmerizing, it kept me guessing who posed a threat to Camelia’s life.

I loved reading about Camelia and her friends. Kimmie and Wess was a blast to read about. I enjoyed reading the constant witty banter exchanged between them and their very distinct personalities. There were numerous laugh-out-loud moments whenever the trio were together. Ben's ability to sense things through touch it gave him substance as well as his turbulent past. Ben and Camelia’s relationship was intense and compelling.

The book was full of shocking surprises and revelations. Once I finished Deadly Little Secrets, I was already anxious to read the next soon-to-be sequel in the series! This is a must read for fans of romance, suspense, and mystery!

Deadly Little Secrets is the first book of the touch series novel by Laurie Stolarz. The book hits the shelves on December 16, 2008.
