To Adam With Love by Adrienne Wilder was an interesting and different kind of dragon book. The full bred Dragons come from the Queen. There are some dragons that will mate with humans. They produce Lesser-Bred dragons. These dragons start out appearing to be completely human, then later on start exhibiting signs of having dragon genes.

The sex drive becomes greatly enhanced, as does the need for food. Not just any food - raw meat and blood. Not all Lesser-Breds survive the transition to their dragon form.....

There is a second book in this series, and looks like a couple of others in this world. I'll probably read the next book in the series - I'd like to find out what happens!

Review for Lover Reborn
Finished 19 April
4 of 5 stars

I have a love hate relationship with the Brothers and maybe with Ward herself.

I love how everything comes together in the end and helps to make sense of what happened 500 pages ago. I hate getting through the 500 pages.
(paraphrasing) "...that shit's epic."
Who over the age of 30 says that? When Wrath said that in the hospital I wanted to throw up a little in my mouth. Come on! On one hand he's the king and he can saw whatever he wants to say. On the other hand, how am I as a reader supposed to take him seriously?
This is the point where I tell myself to simmer down because this is FICTION.

Chapter 63 is the best chapter. Good for you Tohr!
The next book is about Qhuinn and Blay. Honestly, I could care less about those two. There's been too much 'will they, won't they' and I've lost my patience. I think Layla is packing based on Qhuinn's vision from the "Fade" when he was beaten up all those books ago. As I told a friend about the M/M sex scene being reduced to 2 lines, it's not enough but it's something. It beats the previous books where Ward referred to Blay and Saxon going at it.
Lassiter was stellar. What he did for Tohr and Autumn was touching. Even my cynical self smiled at the end and gave a mini clap.

I'm tempted to re-read this series to try and catch all the things leading up to this point.
Don't get me wrong by my review, I love this series. Maybe that's why I get cranky when I read one of the books.

Hey ladies! I wanted to give you a heads up.
I will be having surgery on May 4th and will be in the hospital that weekend. I go home after that to recoup for a fun filled 8 weeks!! I can't WAIT!
Anyway, the surgery is for nothing serious, but I wanted to mention it now before I forgot about it.
I'm hoping we win well before the 4th!

OMG! OMG! OMG!
This is it!
New shelf was announced and we have a chance to WIN!
New shelf is 2011!

I'm reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Happy reading!

Yay! I'll be reading .

Kimberley, I'm hoping all will be going well with your surgery.

Shelf: 2011

A nice start to a new series, easy and quick to read. The pace was a little slow and I think I got a little bit impatient at times, as I've read "The Darkest Powers" trilogy as well as some books of the "Women of the Otherworld" series and knew so much more about the situation than the characters themselves. The characters were likeable, though slightly similar to the ones in the last trilogy. The story itself was a nice set-up for the following books and I'm sure I'll pick up the next one soon.

I'll read Every Other Day for 2011

Looks like we are in a race with Teams 3 & 15.....

Team 15 only needs 1 more review posted......hurry ladies!

2011 Shelf
***** 4-23-12

Every Other Day is unique in that our heroine Kali only has her preternatural abilities every other day. On off days she is a human girl just like any other. Her father is a professor at the local university. He studies all the known types of preternatural beings in our world. Kali can't figure out what she is - she has never heard of anyone or any "thing" with her abilities.

Every other day at dawn she gets the urge to hunt down and kill all those "other" beings before they have the chance to kill the humans. She heals very quickly and her blood acts as a poison to the other beasties.

Kali starts out as a pretty sympathetic character. She is lonely. Her father basically ignores her most of the time. Her mother left them when she was 3. She keeps away from friendships with other kids her age. One day at a pep rally Skylar comes up to Kali and starts talking to her. In spite of Kali's reservations they become friends quickly. Skylar claims to be "a little psychic". However, everyone knows there are no psychics!

When Kali attempts to remove a chuprakabra from Bethany, a cheerleader who is dating Skylar's brother, the fun begins.

I didn't like Bethany in the beginning, but she definitely grew on me. Some of the characters were not fleshed out very well, but the 3 girls were all very distinctive and well done.

All in all - I loved this book! There is plenty of room for Ms Barnes to revisit this world and I'm hoping she plans to do so.

NOOOOOOOO!
We were so close! :(
Oh well. This was still fun! And to think, I just finished my book. I'll post my review anyway.

Congratulations Team SS! We were GREAT!!!

Review of Catching Fire

So let me get this straight:
The Capital with the lovely President Snow in charge, gets Katniss and Peeta to do another round of the Games just so he could go into District 12 to wipe it off the face of the planet. Do I have that right?

Well damn. I wasn't expecting that to happen.

I want to re-read the series, especially this book, after I finish Mockingjay so I can pick up things I missed such as the reactions of the other Victors towards Katniss and Peeta. And especially Haymitch.

Oh well, I didn't actually expect to get that close to winning in my first ever round of Bingo :)

It was a lot of fun!

We're still waiting on a third place winner, so don't forget to read, rate & review.

Provided Kelly posts her review it looks like you came 4th Seducers :)

So Sorry I was in the Dominican Republic and it looks like my posts have not been going through. I'll put up my review on my book in a little bit.
