Review: We are back in Bon Temps with our girl Sookie. She and Quinn seem to be doing alright, plus Amelia is settling in. The book actually starts with Sookie going to meet Eric & crew to talk about the vampire summit. After which she has to shop to meet the standards of someone working for the Queen of Louisiana, on Eric's dime.

Claudine urges her not to go, but Sookie is off to Rhodes for the summit. There she meets up with Barry and they somewhat join forces throughout the rest of the book. Of course nothing goes smoothly. There are lies and subterfuge with some murder thrown in.

Things are definitely not what they seem. Plus, she has to deal with Eric and Quinn with a side of Bill thrown in for good measure.

This events of this book changes Sookie's world in more ways than one. Oh, and I forgot to mention the impromptu marriage that takes place.

Review: Not as good as the prequel when Selene and the guys were getting to know each other, while we were getting to know them.

This picks up after the end of that story, and Blaze has found Selene in her new place. We know, she doesn't. She knows she's being followed because she's a badass like that, but she doesn't know who and she is waiting to see what they are going to do.

He does some crazy ass shit, which is to be expected. If this book didn't have crazy, dark, shit going on than it wouldn't have held up to that lead in.

However, the fact that the guys weren't all together initially, the escapades with others that had nothing to do with the "job" and that ending left things to be desired. I have gone through these books so far, thinking and knowing how smart and badass Selene is only for her to ignore her instincts when it was important.

Still, with that cliffhanger and the fact that I want to see how things end with Selene and her guys. I will continue to the next book eventually.

Well, I hope you enjoy it this time. I read all the original books in The Night Huntress World. I haven't gotten around to reading the newer ones from Bones' POV yet. But it's coming.

Review: As always it was non-stop action. I've said it probably every time that I love that Kate can kickass, she doesn't have to wait for a captain-save-a-ho, because she does the saving.

The fact that she is with Curran is because she loves him and wants to be, not because she needs him for anything. On the other hand, we got to see a more vulnerable side to her while dealing with her insecurities when it comes to her relationship with Curran. And just to say, he was not making it easy. I wanted to kick his ass several times.

We had some unexpected tragedies this time around, and lost a beloved character that I wasn't expecting to see go. Now I wonder how life is going to be without this person playing a role, and I'm a pins and needles waiting for Kate's dad to finally make an appearance.

Review: On my reread journey again and I still love this book. Drustan is the first MacKeltar that we are introduced to and although I love the entire series, the Keltar's are my favorites.

I always wished there had been a way for Silvan to also be brought forward.

I loved the banter between Gwen and Drustan and the relationships between the family. I also love seeing Silvan and his Nellie finally start to let love bloom between them as well.

It's also the first time with meet Christian for all of us Fever fans.
