2. painting the final layers...

of little Olivine, the mermaid for August. based on the birthstone peridot, Olivine is painted in bright and lush shades of yellows and greens.

nothing left to do but her little tail, the shell in her hair and some bubbles, of course...;)

3. Linked Up: a Shell, a Puffin, and a Parking Garage

We only have one week left in August, people. ONE WEEK! Oh, the agony…

Here are some things that don’t make me sad.

I’m sure this was staged, but it is delightful. [YouTube]

Cute item of the week: Puffin. [Next Web]

6. Demon’s Kiss by Maggie Shayne


This is the first one I have picked up of Shayne’s Wings of the Night series.  It tells the story of Reaper and his band of misfits that he picks up.  Reaper is a vampire bounty hunter essentially and has been sent to kill a rogue vampire.  Along the way he picks up Seth, one of The Chosen, who is nearly beaten to death before Reaper swoops in to save him.  The duo is then joined by Roxy, another of The Chosen (btw The Chosen are people who have a rare antigen in their blood that allows them to eventually become vampires) and finally Topaz, a beauty bent on revenge. 

While Reaper always works alone, this time he is surrounded by people, but it is thanks to them that they are able to corner Gregor and maybe take him out.  But there is more at stake and more people will enter into the fray before the book comes to a climax.  These are extremely complex characters that we only scratch the surface of in this book.  I hope that we seem them again in other books in the series.  It is an interesting world of vampires, shape-shifters, and a very rigid code of conduct.
