Bite Marks wasn't up to the usual standard of the Jaz Parks books for me, was a bit let down by it. The story wasn't all that great. But it was still good fun. The humour is always there in those books!

Changed my Witch book, as Sympathy for the Devil has been pushed back I'm in no hurry to read Evil Ways. I'll save that for next month!

[Ms.soule]

1. After Midnight by Teresa Medeiros
2. Cry Wolf by Patricia Biggs
3. Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris
4. Heart Of The Dragon by Gena Showalter
5. The Darkest Whisper by Gena Showalter
6. Embrace the Night by Karen Chance★★★★
7. Divine Misdemeanors by Laurell K. Hamilton
8. Games of Command by Linnea Sinclair ★★★★★
9. Truly, Madly A Novel by Heather Webber★★★★
10. Burning Alive by Shannon K. Butcher

Games of Command was a perfect mix of sci-fi action & some seriously intense romance. Kel-Paten’s been secretly in love with Sass for 12 years!, but must hide it since he’s a biocybe (basically a human turned robot – think Universal Soldier) and any display of “unnatural” emotion would lead to further removal of what’s left of his humanity. It never got too bogged down in tech talk or let anything too irreversibly damaging happen to any of the four main characters – my two biggest problems with most sci-fi.
