The "Supernatural" Countdown Cont.; "Supernatural" Goes French

Less than a week until the new season of "Supernatural"! I caught about ten minutes of the end of "Supernatural," season four, the last episode. The tension couldn't have been ratcheted up more as Sam Winchester learns that Ruby has betrayed him, as Castiel disobeys his heavenly masters to get Dean Winchester out of his prison, and as Dean desperately tries to stop Sam from opening the final seal. "He's coming!"

Don't trust me? Here's a review of the conclusion of the last season. "In the second half of the season two finale, Supernatural pulls out all the stops, literally unleashing hell, and closing the book on the biggest storyline of the first two seasons. Dean and Sam, as well as the audience, get a lot of closure but at the same time new and exciting storylines are opened up for future seasons." (IGN)

Here are some clips from "Supernatural: Season Five." You can find more over at the Chicago Tribune article about the series. "Finally, here's the CW's summary of the episode: 'Has Hell been unleashed? Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) discover the consequences of breaking the final seal as the series’ fifth season opener picks up right where we left off – with Lucifer walking free and the first signs of the apocalypse beginning to be evident.'"






THE BRIDE OF CASA DRACULA: I was delighted to see a new review of my third novel, The Bride of Casa Dracula, this morning. "The very cool Bride of Casa Dracula was a great departure from Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series and Stephanie Meyers' Twilight Saga. Complete with a little bit of romance, some blood (though in a very different way from the others mentioned above) and shapeshifters, the Bride was a fun and very cute read." (The Realist Latina) It's nice to know that this book holds up well as a stand-alone -- now that I'm working on Casa Dracula Book Four, it's a real challenge to make it interesting to new readers as well fans of the series.

SciFi Guy spotlights Susan Kearney's Pendragon Legacy series. "An interesting release for September is Lucan by Susan Kearney which hits stores tomorrow. It is an unusual blend of science fiction, fantasy and romance."
