Read 6/10

Single Male on Cover:
1. Slave to Sensation
2. Changed to:Fantasy Lover 5/4/2010 **** Really Enjoyed!!
3. Changed to: Night Embrace


Single Female on Cover:
1. Changed to: Glass Houses 5/5/2010 ***
Glass houses was ok. It was an interesting after reading so many "vampires are dangerous, but sexy and the best lovers" type books, it was different getting used to the "vampires are bad guys" type. But I did enjoy it and will probably read the rest of the series at some point.
2. Halfway to the Grave
3. Changed to: Vampire Academy 5/7/10 ****
I really enjoyed Vampire Academy. I had to DL the kindle sample to tide me over from getting it at the library later in the month! I enjoy flawed heroes, and Rose has the shimmering beginnings of one!!


Couple on Cover:
1. Dead in the Family 5/14/10 ***
Though not my favorite book, I still enjoyed it. It felt like an "in-betweener" book...
2. Lover Eternal


No people on Cover:
1. Changed to: The Book Thief
This book was haunting and exquisitely written. It will forever be a part of me, and is in the top three books I've ever read in my life.

MARTINA'S MAY COVER HUNT CHALLENGE - 4/10 Completed

SINGLE MALE ON COVER
1.Lion's Heat (Breed #21/Feline #13) by Lora Leigh - 5/12 - ★★★1/2 - Finally! Jonas' story! The series arc continues with more trouble from Bradenmore, but this book focuses mainly on Jonas and his mate & assistant, Rachel - not to mention her 3 month old child. A baby in the story is an interesting twist that I enjoyed a lot. Although how the baby never wakes up during the intimate moments (the way my baby always does) I'll never know.
2.
3.

SINGLE FEMALE ON COVER
4.White Witch, Black Curse (Rachel Morgan, Book 7) by Kim Harrison - 5/8 - ★★★★ - I've always enjoyed this series and this was no exception. Love the big baddie in this one and that the Kisten issue is resolved (although not so fond of the actual resolution). Can't wait for the next one!
5.Full Moon Rising (Riley Jenson, Guardian, Book 1) by Keri Arthur - 5/14 - ★★★★★ - Loved this book! Yes, it took a number of pages for me to get used to the Aussie use of "mate" as "friend" instead of lover/life partner/husband/wife (especially since I just read a Lora Leigh book!), but this book kicked ass. The characters were interesting, the storyline had enough foreshadowing to keep you intrigued, but not enough to completely give everything away. I found it very well written and could just KICK myself for not discovering this series sooner!
6.

COUPLE ON COVER
7.Twice As Hot (Tales of an Extraordinary Girl, Book 2) by Gena Showalter - reading now
8.Single White Vampire (Argeneau Vampires, Book 3) by Lynsay Sands - reading now

NO PERSON/HUMAN IMAGE ON COVER
9.Storm Front (Dresden Files, Book 1) by Jim Butcher - 5/8 - ★★★★ - I've been shying away from this series for awhile now because it was both written by a male author and has a male main character which I haven't enjoyed in the past, but Butcher has a very clean writing style and I like Harry Dresden so it was a nice surprise! I'll definitely keep reading!

Radiant Shadows is the 4th book of the Wicked Lovely series. This time it was from the point of view of Ani and Devlin. The main characters from the last books played supporting roles. I enjoyed Ani and Devilin's characters so much, I did not mind. The plot was great too.

3. Memnoch The Devil (The Vampire Chronicles, #5) by Anne Rice


Read 3 books whose that has a single female on the cover.
1. Evermore (The Immortals, #1)
by Alyson Noel Was good, but not great. Easily ready, but also easily put down.

2. Blue Moon (The Immortals, #2)
by Alyson Noel This story piqued my interest a little more, having a new and unknown villain to sort out. Couldn't put it down, but still had lots of room for improvement.

3.
Bone Crossed (Mercedes Thompson, #4)
by Patricia Briggs


Read 2 books whose cover feature a couple.
1.
Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse, #10)
by Charlaine Harris While I devoured this book, I was still hoping for just a little more Eric, lol.

2. Nevermore
by Kelly Creagh

2. Paths Not Taken
3. Changes NOW READING



A Female on the Cover (3)

4. The Mage in Black 5/3/10 **** Fun followup book to RHS. Love the charicter development and action pace and pretty good mystery. I did figure out who was the bad person. Thats why it was only a four stars, but truly could be five stars, except I dont like giving them and the book was good, but not necesarily exceptional.
5. Walking Dead (5/8/10)***
6. Bone Magic (5/10/10) **




A Couple (2)

7. Hawk & Fisher 5/2/10 *** Traditional fantasy with vampires, werewolves and sucubus as part of the world. Fun. Read like I was playing clue, with supernatural beings thrown in the mix to make it really fun!
8. Twice as Hot




No People (2)

This was an omnibus of 2 different books by Debbie Macomber. Both being modern "takes" on fairy tales (Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella) The picture is a horse and carrage in some trees. You CAN see a top hat at the front of the carriage, but I'm going with no human figures because--well, its hard to tell.

The Highlander's Touch (Highlander #3) by Karen Marie Moning5/6/10
The Vampire's Bride (Atlantis 3#?) by Gena Showalter5/13/10 4 stars--took a bit to get into it, but finally couldn't wait to see what happened. Have another one waiting (realized I was reading out of order once I was already into it, but oh well...)

2 books/a couple
Noah (The Nighwalkers #5) by Jacquelyn Frank5/16/10--This seems to be the end of the series...it was fun, but had a little trouble believing the change in the heroine over the course of the book...maybe need to re-read it a little more carefully, but not immediately.
No Rest for the Wicked (Immortals After Dark #3) by Kresley Cole 5/12/10


2 books/no person or human
The Treasure Keeper (Drakon #4) by Shana Abe5/14/10-I sometimes find this series hard to follow, and find myself rereading passages, but do enjoy it and find Abe's writing a change from a lot of the authors I read. Quite curious to read the next installment...too bad it won't be out soon at all.
