This week I'm featuring Written in Red (The Others #1) by Anne Bishop. This book has been on my TBR for a ridiculously long time and I was happy to finally start reading it. It's so good!
About the Book
Enter the world of the Others in the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop’s thrilling fantasy series: a place where unearthly entities—vampires and shape-shifters among them—rule the Earth and prey on the human race.As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut—a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard—a business district operated by the Others.
Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.
Book Beginnings
Half blinded by the storm, she stumbled into the open area between two buildings.

It wasn't that late, so it shouldn't have been strange to see all the residences lit up. But it seemed like there were too many lights, too much brightness, making that dark space too noticeable, almost ominous.

If you haven't read a book in awhile and someone asks about a character or the plot, can you recall the details?
It depends on the book. Some books stay with me for a long time, while others it seems like as soon as I finish it, I can barely recall what I just read.
What have you been reading lately?
I've seen this book around but haven't read it. I like the quotes.
