Scott Fitzgerald QUOTES FROM THE BOOK: "She is living color, and I've been in a black-and-white world for far too long without her. Powerful stuff. It surrounds me. I've felt it since I first arrived. The forcefield of her. The magnetism of her. The power she wields over me. I'm alive again because of her, like a dying plant that finally gets some water. I've got it bad for this girl. Reality dawns. The light comes through the darkness and shines on me. She's my water." -Lincoln Presley "The truth is I breathe with him. He is my air. Raison d'etre." -Tally LandonREVIEWS...WHAT THE READERS SAY: "This is not just a novel, it should be looked at as a piece of art; there are so many layers to peel back. To just read this story would not do it justice, it needs to be appreciated for all the multi faceted layers and symbolism that made this story what it is; a literary masterpiece..." Goodreads Reviewer "Lincoln and Tally, theirs is a love so transcendent, so...epic that their story has left me breathless and thirsty. In...the...most...satisfying...way. This is not just some romance novel. This is...love in words..." Goodreads Reviewer "This book is a beautiful masterpiece - it's raw, it's honest, and it's real. This story will break your heart, and show you how it feels to have it smashed and then glued back together. It takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that I didn't even know could exist at that level. It will leave you emotionally drained, but wanting more. It will leave you confused, touched, but in amazement..." Goodreads Reviewer "This story made me feel so many different things: melancholic, anxious, frustrated, perplexed, angry and then blissfully happy. It made me cry. It kept me awake the whole night. It was that good..." "Way Too Hot Books" Blogger

Dracula and Frankenstein are friends. They have good times together, but when Dracula decides to have a Halloween party on the same day as Frankenstein's, their friendship is put to the test.

During the height of the civil rights movement, Blacks were among the most liberal Americans. Since the 1970s, however, increasing representation in national, state, and local government has brought about a more centrist outlook among Black political leaders.Focusing on the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Katherine Tate studies the ways in which the nation’s most prominent group of Black legislators has developed politically. Organized in 1971, the CBC set out to increase the influence of Black legislators. Indeed, over the past four decades, they have made progress toward the goal of becoming recognized players within Congress. And yet, Tate argues, their incorporation is transforming their policy preferences. Since the Clinton Administration, CBC members—the majority of whom are Democrats—have been less willing to oppose openly congressional party leaders and both Republican and Democratic presidents. Tate documents this transformation with a statistical analysis of Black roll-call votes, using the important Poole-Rosenthal scores from 1977 to 2010. While growing partisanship has affected Congress as a whole, not just minority caucuses, Tate warns that incorporation may mute the independent voice of Black political leaders.
