Time to Go Back for Seconds! Read book #2 for those series that, for whatever reason, you've only read #1 so far. Read one book per calendar month.
See post 165 for August – March.
April
The Dead-Tossed Waves, Carrie Ryan, 4-4-11 I kept debating between 4 and 5 stars and it finally came down to one simple truth: I sacrificed sleep last night because I had to finish this book, coming to work on less than 3 hours just because I couldn't put the thing down. The world Ryan has built is fascinating, she's put thought into the various ways society would rebuild and deal with the unconsecrated/mudo problem. I do have a technical problem with the number of zombies still roaming around. They're dead, they continue to decay and fall apart. The numbers initially seen are believable. I can even give the number of dead tossed up from the ocean floor by storms a pass, salt water acting as a preservitive is possible. The sticking point is the horde, how could there be an active horde so many generations later. Given the current decreased population, they couldn't all be recent dead. It's a question that occurred to me. But you know what, since it didn't occur to me until after I'd already finished the book, it didn't interfere with my reading enjoyment. I will definitely be reading the third book.
Also Read:
Don't Talk Back To Your Vampire, Michele Bardsley, 4-21-11 I enjoyed Eva's story even more than Jessica's. And though there's still not a lot of plot about adjusting to life as a vampire parent, I felt as if there was more than in the first book. Will definitely read more in this series.
Fade, Lisa McMann, 4-27-11 Good follow up to Wake. I still think the writing style is a perfect reflection of Jane's life, so it's a good fit. My sticking point, the thing that lowered this from 4 stars, is I can't quite believe Jane and Cabel's involvement in the investigation. Yes, technically, they are over 17. But, they're both still in high school. I just can't quite get my head in suspension-of-disbelief mode and that throws me out of the story. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this and I plan on reading book 3.
May
To Tame A Highland Warrior, Karen Marie Moning, 5-9-11 Fun read. Nothing spectacular, but I will continue on to the next book.
June
Quicksilver, Amanda Quick, 6-11-11 Second book in the Looking Glass Trilogy. Loved learning more about the Sweetwaters. Virginia & Owen were typical Quick leads, but I still really enjoyed reading about their relationship.
Also Read:
Once Upon Stilettos, Shanna Swendson, 6-18-11 Not quite as good as the first one, but still a fun read. I'll definitely be continuing.
Primal Bonds, Jennifer Ashley, 6-26-11 Loved another visit with the Morrissey family.
July
Touch of Darkness, Christina Dodd, 7-19-11 Good continuation of the first book. The only major drawback is I felt one of the love scenes crossed the line from consensual to forced. I'm planning on finishing out the quartet.
