It was very good. I can't compare it to the book since I haven't read it yet! It kept me on the edge of my seat and walking out of the theatre saying WTH.

Lisarenee | 2046 comments Catherine,

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Season's Greetings. Sorry for being so late. Things got crazy when we ended up unexpectedly traveling. Here are my recommendations for you:

Burn for Me (Hidden Legacy, #1) by Ilona Andrews (newer, but so good)

Since you said you'd be interested in some some older books, you should definitely check out:
Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #1) by Laurell K. Hamilton (This series starts out awesome and I loved the ones I've read so far. Later in the series, I've been told, the author goes from manogamous to multiple person relationships which ruined the later books for them. What I love about this series, is that you can see by reading it how it influenced later UF/PNR books.)
Night Embrace (Dark-Hunter, #2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon (This is the second book in the Dark-Hunters series, but the first book is so different from the rest that I suggest you begin with this one. I noticed you had
Infinity (Chronicles of Nick, #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon on your TBR file. I recommend starting with the Dark-Hunters before reading The Chronicles of Nick. You'll understand what's going on better if you do.

Again, Happy Holidays. Let me know if you'd like to read any together. I'd be up for rereading any of them.

P.S. I love how we like so many of the same books.
