this weeks review to come with claims of wing, white, bar and single male
Wing Week: finished 10/15/12
Rating 3 out of 5 ♥'s
Read: Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning
Found:....Wing - Flapping his arms like little wings, he winked. (page 34)
also can claim
Found:....Single Male Jericho Barrons owner of a Dublin Book Shop.
Found:....Bar (pg 25) There are always a few gorgeous guys, always a few fights, always a few romances, and always a few weirdos in any given bar, on any given night.
Found:....White (pg.75) Outside, floodlights washed the night cold white.
Review: While not as fascinating as her Highlander Books I still enjoyed reading Darkfever and think the next book will be even better because the ground work has been lain and Mac should begin to evolve and get over her girlie girlie ways since she now understands there are things that go bump in the night and monsters do exist and they will kill you if given the opportunity.
Barrons didn't appeal to me at all for the biggest part of the book. I actually fingered him to be an ass and full of himself but towards the end I began to realize this was just what Mac needed him to be because she was so soft and feminine and surely going to get herself killed before she ever realized what was going on. In short she was naive and child-like. He had to harden her up.
Still bit confused on the bookstore clerk, Fiona. Is she one of Barrons lovers or just a dear friend? At some points she acted sort of jealous towards Mac and then in the next instance she was worried over her safety?
Oh keep reading the series Fiona will surprise you!

I swear KMM weaves crack into her words somehow. Waiting for
forever nearly KILLED me!
Does Mountain have to have the s on the end or can we just have mountain?
Dawn usually accepts any form of the word and it doesn't have to technically be a mountain. Like if it said a mountain of paperwork that's ok too.
OK thanks sweets cause mine only had it with no s. :( And oh yes I am totally headed to Amazon to get the next Fever book!
I'm telling you crack is put into the pages lol.

Review.
Why have people been raving about this series!?? I honestly thought I was missing out on something by not having read it. It has taken me a full week to read the one book.I did not enjoy it at all, and it hasnt made me want to read on.
Mac's sister has been killed while in Ireland, and Mac decides she can do a better job of finding out what happened , than the police, so off she goes to Ireland to find out. Here, she encounters all kinds of strange beings, least of those being Jericho Barrons, who I notice she has almost immediate feelings for! Why I dont know, the guy is a jerk. I guess what I hoped for, from what I had heard about this series, was(?)intense feeling , or at least some kind of attraction. Barrens is supposed to be an uber sexy, sex machine or something. Where was the Barrens I thought I was going to read about? Hes totally the opposite of waht I had imagined him to be, hes cold, and just generally blah.
Anyway I persevered and finished it.
I will come back to you about what I will read for MOUNTAIN week.

We had exactly the same thoughts on this book.
I'm sorry you didn't like it Kathy! Oh well more Barron's for me :) hopefully you'll enjoy your mountain book more!
I am changing my book choice again as I need to read Her Vampire Husband by Michele Hauf for another challenge as well and it has the items I need.
Thats just the way it goes Jenne! I am still looking for a mountain book, maybe a Carpathian, but they can get a bit hard to read too, I think I need something a bit lighter now!
I am going to read
for Mountains and Blood.
Dawn until you posted that you weren't fussed on Fever I was thinking there was something wrong with me!! LOl. Glad Im not the only one!. So on to something I know I will enjoy!

We seem to read a lot of the same stuff. I need to make time for the new Carpathian novel.
Man one more item I already have. But I get to claim two other ones so I only have one color left.
Do I need to rush to post my review for wing week, I fell asleep due to 2 nights without, I have a really bad chest infection, temp soaring but can't rest to fight it off as I am the sole parent to my 3 boys, need to be up and about for them. If you need it quick I will review as the items are all in the part of the book I have finished only 20% to go but my head hurts sooooo much
Hope you feel better! As long as your wing book is in before the next item it's all good :)
thanks Jenne, I will do them both as quick as I can because we could win this thing.
Yes we really can win! Next week though once the item is called everyone needs to read as fast as they can! Need to make sure our books aren't super long too.
Okay Wing week (sorry it is late)I read Detour To Dusk by Linell Jeppsen and claim
single male - on cover
wing - ...snapping and flapping their wings at one another...page 6
white - 'Tooth and claw marks serrated the white column of her throat and chest.' page 5
bar - 'they ran into each other at a local bar one night...' page 29
my review
I loved this book, the character's were totally 3 dimensional, some lovable some evil, the human character's were easy to relate to.
The plot was great, I enjoyed it from beginning to end, I found no part skippable or dragging. The editing was excellent, I think I only noticed one typo in the whole book.
You get true-blood vampires, hybrid vampires, humans, spirit walkers, telepaths, healers, good vs evil, love, friendship, relationships, hate, revenge, action, thrills, all tied up in an excellent plot.
If you like vampires you will love this book.
5 stars finished 27 oct
starting this weeks book now then I will have completed everything
Should be 25 points for us know! We really can win this next week as long provided the item being called doesn't hurt us
Kathy...I did "like" Darkfever but I agree I went into the story looking for so much more than what it gave and I agree as well that Barrons was pure a-hole. I was expecting a red hot lover and all he was was a bucket of ice water. But there is something nagging at me about the story and that is why I think I am moving on to Bloodfever. I have got to see what Fiona is up to if nothing else. LOL
Yay team let's get that mojo going again this week and send out winning vibes. Going to go to bed now, click my heels and chant 3 times win, win, win. (giggles)
oh meant to add I did like when Barrons did the word play on the word "assume" when he told Mac that assuming something would make an a-s-s out of u & me. I thought that was real clever. lol
Knock yourself out DAWN! I have oodles more books that aren't on my list as yet.Jennifer, my mum taught us that when we were little and Its something I've never forgotten... Im always careful about using assume! Hbby always says assumption is the mother of all F^*k ups!!
Fiona didnt really stir anything inside me, but yes there is certainly something different about her.
Mountain week finished 29 Oct 5 starsRead Her Vampire Husband by Michele Hauf
Items claimed
mountain - '...jumped off a high cliff andam now free-falling to my death.' page 27
blood - '...the wolf would develop a blood hunger it had never known before.'
purple - 'The purple lighting and violet fabric walls...'
My review
I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this book, I gave it a full 5 stars. I loved the character Blu her sarcasm was something to behold. I loved the way the characters grew and changed as the book progressed. I loved the action scenes. I hated Blu's father and was pleased with the outcome. The plot flowed really well and I liked the writing style. An easy read book that definitely takes you into a fantasy world.
I'm done with my book. I think I'm going to wait till Friday to post though. I only have blood and smoke left for things and I'm afraid if I post one the other will get called. Since it had both items and mountain I think I'll wait and see what's called then post right after it.
Congrats Adele for finding all of your items!
Wow everyone is quiet this week! How are everyone's reads coming along?
About 75% done. My husband decided to redo my dinning room this weekend. Still trying to get it all cleaned up. Haven't had much free time. It looks better.
Im over half way. Love some rock chicks... cant always understand their mentality but really enjoy Kristen Ashleys writing style.
Mountain Week: finished 10/30/12
Rating 3 out of 5 ♥'s
Read: Nice Girls Don't date Dead Men by Molly Harper
Found:....Mountain - Zeb told his family that he and Jolene were going to the mountain retreats of Gatlinburg, when he in fact, took his blushing bride to Biloxi for a week of...... (page 389)
also can claim
Found:....Black Grandma was resplendant in her traditional Casual Corner Petites black dress suit, but she had stepped up her game....(page 69)
Review: This was an okay book but think I liked book one of this series a bit better. Just seems like this one lacks any real action because it's basically more or less revolving around the wedding of Zeb and Jolene and all it really entails is the bickering because his mom hates Jolene and she always wanted him to marry Jane whom she has always adored but who she doesn't know has been turned into a product of the undead after a freak accident in the first book.
And Jolene's family is about as impressed with Zeb as his is with her even going as far as almost killing him to waylay the marriage...did I mention Jolene was a werewolf?...
I really don't like Jane's family either because they so should be rallying around her and offering support but instead have basically turned on her once they found out her fate like it's all about them and theirs. Such selfish people! And yet being the nice person Jane is she still worries when she believes a man is trying to take advantage of her grandma who treats her like crap.
I hope the next book in this series has more action!
Good Job Jennifer! I finished my book Sunday but I'm not reviewing until tomorrow. I don't dare risk claiming smoke or blood without the new item called. That being said We Really Need For Blood To Be Called Tomorrow! Now next week it's going to be a race to the finish! Please don't pick books that are long are difficult to read.
I read
by Gerri Russell.Finnished 11/1/12
3 STARS
MOUNTAIN -loc3721- You know another way across the mountain?
BLOOD -LOC980- yet it stirred her blood with unfamiliar cravings.
PURPLE -LOC815- Grange c lenched his grip until the man's face turned purple.
I liked the end of this story but the beginning took me a while to get into. I normaly like highlander storys, but this one I just couldn't get into tell the last 30% witch got good. When the king makes people do things they dont want to an threaten there family. It just doesn't sit well for me. I'm not sure if I will read the next one or not. It's on my later shelf.
Now all I have to get is Black an I'm done. Wish I could of added it this one. Can't wait tell tomorrows call to get started on it.
Way to go Dusty! We really need blood called tomorrow!
I read Rock Chick Renegade LOVE LOVE LOVED it! It has to be the best in the series yet.I have Blood to claim Will I claim it with this book or wait till next week??? Let me know please. Is it going to make a difference, if I claim this week or next? I have to get Metropolitan area next week and then Im done.
I am claiming
PLACESMOUNTAIN
I used to go to summer camp in the mountains for two weeks and, when I got older, I became a camp counselor. Page 78 PDF copy.
This story is Vance's turn at true love. Vance has had a tough life, so when he meets Jules, who has had it hard as well, he falls immediately for the new Rock Chick on the block.
Jules is "adopted" into the clan by the Rock Chick girls,and by default, the Nightingale boys as well.
As with life, Jules and Vance have their ups and downs, but not as many downs as in the previous books. Great story with standard and very happy HEA.( after a major, last minute drama!)
EDIT Adding Things BLOOD
Roam had never seen so much blood in his life and Roam had seen a lot of shit in his life, including blood, including his own but not that much. Page 230 PDF.
