Friends,
In spite of the tease of a couple of 80-degree days, Mother Nature cruelly leveled a freezing rain on my house last night. So in order to soothe my ruffled feathers, I indulged in a little book love with Rising Assets by Rebecca Zanetti — very hot!
The music in the trailer for Cursed in Shadow by Andrea Cooper is what caught my attention. The soundtrack hits you right in the gut with a hard, driving beat that screams "adventure." She follows through with imagery and a script that creates the perfect video for a fantasy paranormal romance.

There is something compelling about gripping stories told simply, and the trailer to War Eagle Women by Tina Coleman Bausinger is a perfect example of this. The story revolves around the stories of generations of women — their good and poor choices in life and love — as told to a young woman who hovers between life and death. The video is pared down to a haunting piano melody, stark imagery and an intriguing script.

I love the effects used in the trailer for Cursed Be the Wicked by J.R. Richardson. A paranormal mystery romance that deals with the hurts of the past and its reconciliation with the present and the embrace of the future. The burned-out visual effect on the sepia-toned imagery is the best accompaniment to the story.

*Blogger's note: Okay I still have major issues with book trailers. They try to hard. In this case if I had to pick, I liked the third one the best. There was also one a few weeks back that was my favorite ever. I wish I wrote it down. I will search for some other genres.
