Blood and Chocolateby Annette Curtis Klause - Tammy rated it: 5 Stars

Shiver(The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1)by Maggie Stiefvater - Alyssa rated it: 5 Stars

Mine: 4 stars June 5th - It seemed very young adult, very reminiscent of Harry Potter. I will read book 2. I do hope Lily becomes more badass though, she seems weak and needs to grow a pair. I would much rather read about a tough chick like Mercedes Thompson. Oh, Jason sounds like a hot little wolfy

Tempting Evil(Riley Jenson Guardian, #3)by Keri Arthur - Cheryl Symko rated it: 5 Stars

The Summoning(Darkest Powers, #1)by Kelley Armstrong - Jaime rated it: 4 Stars

Mine: 2 stars - way to short. Problems were solved to easily! At least it was a free download :)

Mine: 4 Stars Short and had a lot of sex in it. However, it was a cute story. Another free download.

Mine: 4 Stars June 4th I was a little frustrated with the fact that I read through this entire book and the author never felt the need to explain why the magic comes in waves. I hope she elaborates in the next book. I just felt like I spent the book wait for more info and most time that’s cool and enticing, but, in this book I felt I didn’t get the world.

I am totally hooked on the night huntress series. I wasn't even finished with the second one before I bought the other two. Dark Lover was also fantastic. OMG! I can totally see why everyone has been raving about it. It's a struggle finding time. I'm designing two costumes for a dance performance week after next and I'm new at that. Work or reading, difficult choice.

Wow Katherine, you have some great series to start. I love Night Huntress, Vampire Academy, Sookie, Lords of the Underworld and BDB. I really got into the Sands series as it went along. I'm just starting the House of Night series. I've read Marked and didn't just love it but hope it will improve as it goes.
