Hi, I'm Parker Blue, writing urban fantasy as well as paranormal romance. I live in Colorado Springs with my rescue dog, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the snarky telepathic hellhound in Sapphires & Souls. I hate writing bios so that's all you're gonna get. Okay, okay. Instead of more boring bio stuff, how about some of my likes and dislikes?

Stuff I love, in no particular order:

- The color red--a bright, orange-red just makes me happy.

- Shiny things. I must have been a magpie in a previous life.

- Making shiny things. Love to bead!

- Dogs--they love you unconditionally and are great at stress relief.

- Numbers. So sue me--I love math. It always makes sense.

- Chocolate. Come on, that's a no-brainer.

- The mountains of Colorado. Their awe-tastic beauty is good for the soul.

- Diet Coke and Zero Sugar A&W Root Beer. What can I say? I'm addicted.

- Reading. Escaping into a cool new world someone created out of their imagination? It doesn't get much better than that.

- Oh, yeah. And writing. Making up my own world out of random bits of my twisted psyche is the best!

Things I'm not so crazy about, besides the obvious things everyone hates (war, pestilence, famine, you know the drill):

- Blogs that dis other people. What's up with that?

- Going to the dentist. Need I say more?

- Politics. Big yawn.

- Television shows that ask people do stupid things for money then make fun of them.

- Seafood. Ick. Just...ick.

- Writing bios. Enough already!

My newest project is a spin-off from the Demon Underground series, starring Ivy Weiss, the stone whisperer:

The Stone Whisperer Chronicles: Sapphires & Souls

The Demon Underground Series, in order:

Book 1, Bite Me

Book 2, Try Me

Book 3, Fang Me

Book 4, Make Me

Book 5, Dare Me

Book 6, Catch Me

There is also a short story, Forget You, that occurs five years before the beginning of the series.

Paranormal Romance:

"Wolf Rising" Novella in the Magick Rising anthology

The Healer's Passion

Thanks for stopping by!

An excellent follow-up addition to the Demon Underground series. I was eating out of the palms of Parker Blue's hands!

In "Try Me," tensions are especially high between the vampires and demons of San Antonio. The vampires have revealed their intentions to come out to the public, make themselves known. The problem is, this would potentially out the existence of demons as well, and none are certain they wish to make their presence known. Who could blame them? Humans have not often demonstrated their willingness to believe in the goodness of supposed monsters.

However, this becomes the least of their worries when the Encyclopedia Magicka is stolen from the demon's possessions once again. This could mean mass destruction for the demons and vamps alike, and when vamps start going blood-crazy and demons turn up injured, the two sides will stop at nothing to find the culprit and end them.

Placing their equal trust in Val to stop the mayhem and bring the traitor to justice, the opposing sides hold a tenuous truce amongst them; and the price for breaking that truce will mean severe consequences for Val Shapiro. Val will stop at nothing to uncover the mysterious instigator, but will it be enough? And when threats find their way to Val's own doorstep, will she be able to take the steps necessary to find the traitor and end them? Or will she submit to the pressure and let others take care of the mess? Read and find out.

A very captivating read! Can't wait to see what Val will face next!!

I'm really enjoying this series, it reminds me a lot of the Buffy tv show. I picked up the Kindle version of the first book, Bite Me, when it was offered for free and I wasn't expecting much. But I really enjoyed the first book, I couldn't put it down, and I really liked the relationship between Dan and Val. Because I liked that relationship so much, I did not enjoy Try Me as much as I did Bite Me. It seemed like the author didn't like the direction the story was taking after Bite Me was released and so changed it for Try Me. Changing the direction of the story and changing Val's love interest from Dan to Shade didn't bother me (I think Shade is a better match for Val); rather, it was the way that change was handled. The complete change in Dan's character from how he was portrayed in Bite Me was irritating. Dan acted so out of character that I was glad he wasn't such a big presence in Try Me. I think the author could have handled that transition from one love interest to the next better, keeping true to the characters' established personalities, so that is why I gave the book four stars instead of five.

That being said, I did enjoy the book. I liked Try Me's plot more than Bite Me's plot. In Try Me, the vampires are ready to go public and announce their existence, but they also want to take the demons with them. Many of the demons do not want to keep their existence a secret, and tensions rise between the vampires and demons. Something starts making the vampires who drink packaged blood go crazy, and the vampires blame the demons. The Encyclopedia Magicka is stolen from the demons, and some of the demons want to blame the vampires. Val has to help solve both mysteries and keep peace between the two to prevent a war. Meanwhile, Val is also trying to come to terms with who she is and what kind of powers she has. I loved the book and can't wait for the next book. I definitely recommend t to any urban fantasy fans, regardless of their age.

I really liked Parker Blue's first book Bite Me, but I wasn't sure how I felt about Dan being her love intrest. I like him most of the time, but I got so mad at him for how he treated Val about her inner demon. Try Me picks up right where Bite Me left off except Shade, a shadow demon from book one, is Val's love intrest. I like this match much better, and I hope that the author sticks with it. Val is maturing and exploring what it means to be herself, not just the slayer. We also get introduced to a lot of new characters that I am sure are going to play bigger parts in the future. The mystery was intresting but couldn't really be completely solved without the author telling us. The relationship with Val and her mom is getting better, and I was happy that things weren't as bad as before. All in all, I liked this book even more than the first one. I look forward to the next in the series.

Book 1 was Bite Me. Book 2 Try Me was an overall okay read. I thought it could have been better. It honestly started to remind me alot of the DarkFever series with the missing book concerns. I was excited to read in this series that Val starts to fall for another half demon like herself; rather than chasing irritating Dan around like a lost puppy. She continues to have issues of low self-esteem, but not so much in book 2. I didn't really find that this book made me want to continue reading this series. I was actually glad the book ended when it did.

Try Me, Book 2 in the Demon Underground series, takes up where Bite Me left off. I think this second book was even better than the first! Despite one rather ridiculous scene involving Fang in the police station demonstrating his ability to understand English when Val comes out of the closet about her inner demon nature, this was still an entertaining and enjoyable read. The conversations with Fang were very amusing and the interaction between Val and her family poignant as they each make an effort to get along. I like Val's relationship with Shadow; I think they are perfect for each other and I can't wait to see what they are up to next. Val is streetsmart and proves to be proficient at mediating the tensions brewing between the vampires and the demons, offering fair judgments and compromises as she searches for the stolen Encyclopedia Magika, and the reason why peaceful vampires are suddenly turning into killing machines. I look forward to the next installment in this series!

This is an acceptable follow up to first book. It has nice characters but it's a little too short and has a predictable plot.
