For those who don't know, Jacinta Maree has a new book out. More importantly, Jacinta is awesome (and a friend to the blog).
She's also Australian. And you know how much I love Australians.
Jacinta was kind enough to share her Top Ten Favorite Monsters:
Top Ten Favorite Paranormal Creatures
- Dragons - All time favourite. Dragons have so many different stories and myths behind them it’s difficult to pick what type of dragon I like the best.
- Sirens - I’ve always been fascinated by Sirens thanks to their deadly yet beautiful nature. I think I like them because they can be portrayed as both good and evil.
- Reapers - Death itself, everything about a Reaper is fascinating. Like dragons, there are many different versions of reapers. I feel like Reapers are the best way to describe fear.
- ShapeShifters - I wouldn’t mind having the ability to shapeshift. The possibilities would be endless.
- Ghosts - Ghosts completely baffle me. Are they friendly? What do they want? Why are they here? There’s a mystery to ghosts that I can never really wrap my head around.
- Banshee - Much like Sirens, Banshee’s are often depicted as evil creatures but I find them to be absolutely fascinating.
- Vampires - The old classic, vampires have been a source of fear and desire for a very long time. I find Vampires are like super humans only constricted to the night.
- Werewolves - Werewolves are primal and act on their animalistic urges. Though these qualities aren’t something I find alluring, they definitely are fascinating creatures to try to understand.
- Mermaids - I don’t know much about the tales of mermaids, but I’ve put them on the list thanks to their darker side. Mermaids, like Sirens, have a twisted urge to drown or kill man. I want to know why.
- Angels - Angels are on the bottom of my list only because I find they are usually the most straightforward therefore boring class. But, in some cases, Angels have a twisted side too which makes them more interesting to read about.

Blurb-
Rachael has traveled to Whitehaven to visit her father, a
trek she can not help but dread given his recent descent into madness. Upon her
arrival she realizes his deterioration has not only been mental, it’s been
physical as well. His death comes as no surprise, but what she discovers soon
after, is shocking when his burden becomes hers.
Lock is a banished spirit who must attach himself to a human
host in order to hide from those who would drag him back to hell to be
destroyed. When he meets Rachael he finds more than a host, he finds an ally.
Together they must defeat each of the seven sins in order to
guarantee Lock's safe passage into the Third Realm, a loophole in creation that
would allow him to escape hell and have peace at long last. Through their unlikely
friendship, other banished spirits flock to them in hopes of a peace they
hadn't dreamt possible.
