I'm going to be one book short. Poo.

April Challenge 7/10

Changing a few books due to fear of mediocrity and/or library troubles.Swapping Goddess of Love for Night Life & The Taking for Tempest Rising.Just have to get pass the fact that the cover looks like an ad for kiddie porn.

1)Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler{Jane True #1}
2)Night Life by Caitlin Kittredge{ Nocturne City #1}
3)Flirt by LKH {Anita Blake,Vampire Huntress #18}4/9/10 ♥♥(It was as craptastic as I thought it would be;as the last 7 books were with the repetitiveness,departure from Anita's criminal work,& turning a great series into soft-core (bad)porn.Its like I have this sick twisted love affair with LKH & no matter how bad she treats me I keep coming back for more.I need to check into LKH rehab.)
4)Night Lost by Lynn Viehl {Darkyn #4} 4/4/10 ♥♥♥♥(It toke me awhile to get into but I like how Gabriel isn't the stereotypical alpha male.Yeah he's big & badass,but he's so gentle & sweet & not a cocky douche nozzle.)
5)Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh {Guild Hunter #1}
6)To Desire A Devil by Elizabeth Hoyt {Legend of of the Four Soldiers #4}4/9/10 ♥♥(It started out really good with a promising,truly tortured hero but went terribly downhill from there.The heroine is annoying as hell & the hero acts like some petulant child having a tantrum.Big disappointment.*tear*)
7)Hearts at Stake by Alyxandra Harvey {Drake Chronicles #1}4/7/10♥♥1/2(This is basically like Evernight minus the school & only a bit better.I liked the family dynamics but I never found the romance between Lucy & Nicholas(they've known each other for years but all of a sudden he starts kissing her like crazy?) or Solange & Kieran( they honestly didn't spend enough time together for him to suddenly fall madly in love with someone he before now hated) believable).
8)Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow{Jill Kismet #1}4/6/10♥♥♥♥♥(I loved it. Saintcrow even made me feel sympathetic for the villains,who killed people gruesomely,no less.Thats saying something.Will definitely follow through with the rest of this series)
9)Succubus Dreams by Richelle Mead{ Georgia Kincaid #3}4/4/10♥♥♥1/2(I stayed up all night reading this & all I can say is I really fucking hate Seth)
10)Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder {Poison Study #1}4/2/10 ♥♥♥♥ (It was very enjoyable.My only complaint is that I wish the romance between Yelena & Valek was more developed)

[image error]

Alternatives

1)Working for the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow{Dante Valentine #1}
2)Dead Girls Are Easy by Terri Garey {Nicki Styx #1}
3)Boys that Bite by Mari Mancusi {Blood Coven #1}
4)Night Life by Caitlin Kittredge {Nocturne City #1}

Welcome to the challenge, Stephani.

Yes, you can use Strange Brew if you like, but you can only use it once, so you have to decide which series will it represent.

Good luck and hope you have fun with your selected books.

Sigh, I'm looking at next month's calendar--its going to be TIGHT. But I WILL get the challenge done some how. Between now and May 26th I have to finish off 10 costumes for the kids--and #2 grandson (he's 11 now) is wanting to make his OWN costume, so that means helping him learn how to do tailoring type sewing. We'll all be heading to Balticon ( http://www.balticon.org/ ) and heaven forbid the kids not have a costume to wear each day, right? :o)

Seriously, Sister Mine, you have goddess like restraint. You can ..."
Jealous that someone has there hands on LM which I assume is Lover Mine. I am dying to read about John Matthew. I think he is one of the most interesting characters. However, Lover Awakened is still my fav. book.
