Keeping in the theme of Spooky Season, we have Jaime Munn‘s book, Between Tricks: A Dixie Tricks Novel. This story has a lot more than just vampires and has an interesting premise. Check out my review below.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

The book was generally fast-paced with a lot of quips and snarky banter between characters. It’s written from Dixie Trick’s point of view as if it’s a journal –…

follow the shadows of the leafless trees

each route a different one

where a new life has sprung.

even in conditions of weariness

the shadows lead to

a place for you

to confide or to lose

everything you ever knew 

before stepping foot

in a path never took

sway from one side to the other

dance like you’re on waves

cause a storm inside their brains

capture them in your tempest

you are the mastermind who tied all the ropes

that knots your fans captive,

wrapped them into a delusional frenzy

but you hope they survive to see another day

because they are now your eyes,

seizing another opportunity at life

but thinking with your mind;

they watch the rain fall and wish it would drown them away,

they become enigmatic

while you attempt to connect through them,

but it is too late.

they have indulged you whole and your nourishment awoke them to frames never known before,

ones not in your own arsenal.

out of touch you stay

watching your tempest take place

in a far away life now

emptying the bottle you despise

for its creation of the noose

that took you down.

conjure up from my mind,

fall onto the paper

spill out of my mouth,

be the mess that was left behind.

i’ll clean it up

fix you up

into the pristine, undented figurine

that watches loose ends unravel further

creating endless spells of tragedy

for all to feel

and for you to see silently.

eternal gaze

stuck in my brain

is beginning to fade

because you’re away

in another space

trying to cement yourself

even when your soul,

will never be erased

eyes weary

heart shaking

i see through the glass ceiling you’ve placed me under,

a lie telling me i’m capable of being the sun —

there’s no chance i could compare

when i remain enclosed in fear

to loosen my grip on my mind

because i know it would lie too

and tell me it’s my time to go

somewhere some fascinate,

somewhere you may hibernate.

wash us away and

like your body we sway

in and out of earthly light

then into travesties of night

i’ll push you back to sea

so you can float with ease,

and become one with the waves.

you’ll crash at my feet again,

and tear my soul to shreds,

reminding me of the tragic truth,

of your existence never to be met.

the worst manifestations of you come to me at times of peace

then i awake in a sweat chasing you through my dreams

you are a tease -

a bone and i am the dog

running, digging, wishing

mountain tops scream

urging to climb up to see the other side,

where Elsewhere may be -

where I may see the life you saw in me.

lights illuminating - blinding even,

I expect nothing less,

but you say more, a life worth dying for,

and now I feel like a deadly disease,

because you’re gone and no lights gleam.

“Light years away, yet you’re still stuck in my brain.”

the rain you love washes the sorrows you left behind,

soaking the soil,

starting new life

- renewal // c.c

“Your memory is linked to my soul, keeping it hung in chains and making it sway between fantasy and reality.”

- c.c

“Look down the bottles neck and you’ll see what your life has been.”

“Madness swarmed my soul then turned it into gold.”
