I loved this. A lot of people said the second one isn't as good as the first, and while that may be true, it's still great. Tobias and Tris's relationship confused me, but I still enjoyed every bit of this :) I'm excited for the third one!

I have no idea what to read. I don't think I have 9th or at least not without skipping books before.

I'll pick something on the way as usual :)

I really like this series.I was drawn into the family as soon as I started.
We're the D'Artigo sisters: half-human, half-Fae, we're sexy, we're savvy and we just turned in our badges to the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. My sister Camille is a wicked good witch. Delilah's a werecat and blossoming Death Maiden. And as for me? I'm Menolly, acrobat extraordinaire turned vampire. But being a vamp isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when the Godfather of all vampires decides to play Prince Charming...

It's the holiday season and a vampire serial killer is on the loose. Hungry ghosts are tearing up the town and people are running scared. I strike a deal with Ivana Krask--one of the Elder Fae--and too late, discover strings are attached. But when I turn to Roman, one of the oldest, most powerful vampires around, for help, he offers me more than I ever bargained for.

Review: I soooo enjoy this author. Cade Morgan Asst US Attorney is used to getting his way. Even when he is demanding Brooke Parker, General Counsel of Sterling Restaurants allow him to bug the table of a Senator. Little does he know that Brooke has no problems holding her own against him. He never lets anyone in - she keeps being told she's not a 'big picture' girl (Ouch) ~ can these two driven work a holics actually make it work. Loved that Brooke was total sass yet still vulnerable. Cade just makes you melt when you hear what is going on in his head. Loved it!! Just one more in this series and I'm up to date :)

Book: Sanctuary by Nora Roberts
Series: standalone
Date read: 28.01.15
Rating: ★★★
Review:
This book seemed familiar, but I'm not sure if I already read it or it's just NR repeating her plots.
It takes place on small island of coast of Georgia in family owned inn. We follow brother and 2 sisters and how they cope with their mother disappearance 20 years ago. Trouble starts when one of daughters starts getting pictures of her (stalker) and one of her dead mother.
Basically book was nothing special. Typical Nora Roberts book.

This book started off so horribly. I couldn't even stay interested until about halfway through. But I do have to say that when it picked up, it really picked up. The ending was something I never expected. This book was extremely dark, but I gotta say the ending made it pretty dang good.

Review
I absolutely loved this book. Tho I'm not a fan of reading books where women get beaten it still was a great great love story and thriller all at the same time. It kept my attention and I fell in love with the characters. I've had this movie on my to be watched list for sometime and it was not like the book in most of the little details therefore again I'm so glad I read the book first.

Summary from Goodreads :

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.

But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo’s empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

Book: Red Dirt Heart 3 by N.R. Walker
Series: Red Dirt #3
Read date: 31.01.15
Rating: ★★★★
Review:
And the story continues.... Troubles and surprises for Charlie and Travis still aren't over. Charlie finally is comfortable being out and doesn't care what others think about him and Travis when something comes up and Travis needs to go back to America. All Charlie's insecurities are back. He tries to loose himself in his station (ranch), but it's not the same without Travis.
This is lovely series. It needs to be read in order since story continues. It makes you smile and cry at the same time.

No - I remember - I'm leaning towards doing the rabbit book lol. Not sure I'm in the mood for tissues. Wondering if you may need the box first for Black John!
I just started RDH #1 for a Jan buddy read - just met Charlie and Travis - they are cute!

[❀Tea❀]

Will see. ☺ I had them close just in case since Charlie (& co) was killing me. Didn't have to use them. Yet ;)
I was trying not to spoil you (too much).
