Kitty goes back home to Denver to see her family. She gets sucked in a vampire war and has to deal with Denver werewolves.

It was good read with lot of action and little bit sad.

I'll read for UF

I am having a hard time deciding!! Sorry... It will only take a day and a half to read it once i do though...

I now have plenty of time to read as the husband is gone for another few weeks. So im hoping that I will catch up on my readings!

I will read for UF

I liked Deadlocked, but i didn't love it. I was so looking forward for reading it that im little disappointed about it and it was little depressing. It felt like Sookie was in really bad place and in the end she did not come out of it, but im getting a feeling that she and Sam might have a romance in the future :)

It was ok until about 2/3 through! Then I had a WTH moment followed by a "You are such a DUMB A**" moment followed by a "You are so the naked girl checking the basement in a Freddie Movie!" to a WTF! This can get worse! and last a "I wasted a day for this SH*T!!"

So get this... A witch has a vampire captive. She throws in a girl who unbenonced to her is a werewolf. He loves her. She helps him escape. They travel together to end up back at her pack where she has an assh*le father who is forcing her into a marriage to an even worse man... AND SHE DOESN"T FIGHT IT!! She's a wimp! Well, she voices her opinion & that's it!

Much more & I can spoil the whole thing, but get this! Do you think it's wise o go someplace where you know people will hold you captive, rape you & beat you so you can go to a funeral??? Uhhhh NOOOOOOO! Said dead person would wish me safe! WTF!!! AND SHE GOOOES!! HER HUSBAND LETS HER!!! WHAAAATT!?! Idiot!

So I give it a 3 stars because it just floored me to try to accept this rational for stupid behavior I was supposed to rollover & accept!

Whatever! Not a good intro to a writer! That's for sure! Very light romance... No erotica at all, so it's safe. even rape was skimmed over as not really a big deal.

This story is about Nykierian the assasin and Kierara the dancer/princess. Nykierian is a dangerous assaing who saves Kierara from multiple kidnapping/killing attempts. Nykierian is a cold blooded assasin who shows no emotions until Kierara breaks down his shell.

I absolutley loved this book! It was over 500 pages but I couldn't put it down so it went by fast. I loved how the trials these two went to to fall in love. It didn't just happen like in most stories. There was build up, then doubt and then finally making everything work out in the end. It made the story much more belivable! Another reason why Sherrilyn Kenyon is one of my favorite authors!

I just love KMM and Dageus just might be my favorite Highlander! Dageus is slowly turning dark as he continues to battle the 13 dark forces inside of himself. Chloe is drawn into Dageus world and she helps keep the dark at bay. Of course there is plenty of steam between these two! Such a great series.

Ok Ladies,

I have requested our stamp for Favorite Author shelf.

Good Job!

Way to catch up team 14. I will post my review of my U-F book later tonight.

I finished reading 10/3/12. I really didnt like this story. It was written okay but the characters really werent that likable and it just didnt grab me. I will not be reading any other books in the series. Not sure if I would try another by this author. Sarah was interesting and I dont think the author really gave enough to her and Michael and then her and Alex. I rated this a 2 out of 5 as I was able to finish reading it.

Urban Fantasy: 10/4/12 4 Stars




OK so Christine Feehan is my guilty pleasure. I know they aren't the greatest most original books. But I still love them. This one came complete with a sexy Cajun, a sexy Irishman, alligators and the hero's grandmother supplying our happy couple with naughty underwear and sex toys.

CONGRATULATIONS, Rapturous Readers!

Ack! Sorry about that! I was having issues earlier! It is fixed!

I just finished reading 10/7. I give it a 5/5 rating. I loved the story. I love the relationship between the main character who is a were and the vamp. It is a nice twist on the normal paranormal. The twist in the story was awesome.

I'll be reading for vampire shelf

I enjoyed this book and will probably read the next. However, I expected more from this story. There are some intriguing, funny and romantic parts and for the most part well written. Just keep in mind that the author is 18 yrs old. I like the storyline in which 3 angels come down from Heaven on a mission to counter act the doings of the Dark Agents. You would think there would be lots of action sadly no that was reserved for the ending. Bethany, the youngest Angel is very human like and falls in love with a mortal boy, Xavier. And that was the entire book. Bethany was naive helpless and depended on Xavier to protect her. I would have liked a little more independence.

This is just a fun and light series to read. A very fun take on vamps. Luc with all his gruffness is loveable and Kate just made me laugh.

It was just super awesome read :) now i'm quite excited about this series :) The main character is a skinwaleker, who hunts rogue vampires for hire. Her next job is taking her to New Orleans to kill a vampire who's not exactly a vampire.

Dawn I think you need to fix the shelf names in your posts. We already have our favorite author stamp and you just posted 2 favorite author reviews.

Hi Dawn. Also the date you finished the books did not change either. Can you fix these for me and I can get them posted?

Thanks!

Vampire

The last one I read was kind of silly, but these are fast reads & I own about 7 so I better get through them so I can get rid of them!!

Kind of sad having to buy reading glasses to magnify micro print. I can see fine, it's just too teeny!!

This is the third and final installment in the "The Dark Divine" Series. It concludes the story nicely of Grace and her werewolf boyfriend Daniel. The last book leaves off with Daniel in a permanent state of being a werewolf while Grace tries to fight with her inner wolf and trying to fix him. More and more problems arise including Daniel's father who is trying to kill them all.

I give this story only three stars because while the werewolf element is good, and the fighting scenes are good this story rubs me the wrong way in two ways. First, it has an underlying religious theme while not to bad if I had known I might have not even started this series. Two, Grace is another one of those angry, whiny teenagers that bugs me. So that is why only 3 stars.

Dang it this is why you shouldnt copy and paste right before bed... Especially as i wanted to get my thoughts down before i forgot them.
Thanks team it is fixed now!

Well, this book did not disappoint. It was yet another wordy travel from place to place repetative meet someone new, do stupid thigs & make bad choices book. I could expect no less.

Girl walks into a bar... gets a drink. Guy walks into a bar meets girl...

Girl a blood stealer. Guy a vamp.
Girls family are anti Vamp & Vamp hunters. Guys family long dead.
Girls stupid hunter brother takes dumb sister from a freddie movie with him on a hunt. OOOoo old vamps can wake up during the day. Old vamp attacks stupid brother & sister who thinks all this is great & normal, stabs vamp not killing him & races brother to Vamp boyfriend to heal. Vamp boyfriend saves brother & they have to drive across the US from LA to Boston to hide from old vamp the didn't kill.

Annoying part... A ton! One major thing was the dad always calling his daughter "daughter"... who does that? Old people. Another thing...until the last 5 pages, they had only kissed. OOookkk! OH! and finally after they do the deed (it's very clean too) it's an after thought to mention that prior to this subtle event, she was a virgin. "OH! Ok!"

As far as the end, a dude is pissed! then next sentence he's straightening up his posture & he's totally over it & fine! "HUH??? Ok!"

Soo thats it with a whole bunch of fluff and wonderings all through the book...

I've read one book by AA and I wasn't impressed either.

Amy, you've confirmed my feeling to avoid her in future.

HAHAHA! I have a few more to go because I own them! LOL! I can always tell if an author is older... If you google her And hit images... YEP! There she is!

I don't know what it is, but I think some people don't want their kids to know they can talk dirty??? Whatever! They need to take a class or something!

I ended up settling on because I need a book w/over 400 pages for the Hearts & Tears game. But I haven't gotten much read. Will try and make a good dent in it tonight.

Series Catch-Up

I'll read

Yeah a personal shelf that works perfectly with the audiobook I wanted to start. I almost started it yesterday but I decided to wait. Glad I did.

So I'll use: Sacred Evil for series catch up. I'm almost done with my vampires book and should finish tonight.

I'm not sure what I will be reading yet will decide in the next few days.

Here's my vampires review:



4 stars
finished 10/13/12

Another winner from JR Ward. One thing though that I need to do is not to wait so long between reading them. Part of why I don't devour them one right after the other is that they are so long and once I start reading them it's all I want to do. I'm sorry now that I got them all on print so far ahead because I could get through them faster on audiobook. I tend to grab shorter print reads. The number or story lines is getting a little out of control and I hope she ties some up soon.

V's story is a little rough to read at times. The abuse he suffered and the sex he likes. But I'm guessing anyone who has made it this far into the series isn't overly squeemish about that stuff. This is not fluffy sparkly vampire romance.

Where is everybody?

Finished my series catch up book.

Heather Graham is a favorite of mine. I love ghost themed books. And romances of course so what's not to love about ghost hunters falling in love? Sure I usually have them figured out before the end. They're still entertaining, fun reads. I'm a Jack the Ripper buff so this was right up my alley.

I am going to be reading for my series catch up

It was a fairly short audiobook and I had a bunch of fall yard work to do.
