Kerrelyn Sparks - BIO and AOM Challenge

[Jess]

The AOM of January is: Kerrelyn Sparks

From her website (www.kerrelynsparks.com):

Kerrelyn Sparks’ first paranormal romance, How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire, zoomed out of the bat cave so fast it became Borders bestselling debut romance of 2005. Each book in the Love at Stake series has become a USAToday bestseller. When the fourth book, The Undead Next Door, landed on the New York Times bestseller list, even the Undead sat up and took notice, which made Kerrelyn a bit nervous. She lives in the Greater Houston area with her husband, children, and a house full of garlic. So far, there are no vampires in her family. Werewolves are another matter entirely.

Love At Stakes Series:


Next up, Book 10: Vampire Mine

[Jess]

Did anyone read a new book by Sparks or re-read a favorite yet?

[Nichole ~Bookaholic~]

I read the first one and am going to read a couple more of my fav's then will read two most recent one's

[Jess]

I think I'm going to re-read the first one, I just have to wait for the library to get it to me.

I think the first book I read in this series was the third one, and I was confused as to what was going on. Then discovered it was a series. That was a very happy day.

[Nichole ~Bookaholic~]

I can't remember how I came across the first one....but I laughed a lot and it was such a fun read that I think I made it through the 7 books in a couple of weeks

[Jess]

Yeah same here, I plowed through them in a short amount of time.

[Michelle]

I bought The Vampire & the Virgin and Eat Prey Love on my Kindle and read them both. I loved the last one. There's something nice about Carlos :)

[Nichole ~Bookaholic~]

I really liked Carlos' character when he was introduced in the 5th book (I think it was that one....)

[Jess]

When he was trying to convince everyone he was gay lol.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

I tried the first book in the Love at Stake series and I recall thinking it was ok and there were quite a few things which irritated me. But since I am a moody reader I am willing to try the second perhaps it was just first book syndrome.

I wasn't too keen on them early on either. I read the first 2 or 3 then waited about 8 months before carrying on with them. I prefered the later books to be honest. Shanna put me off in the beginning.

I have only read the first book in this series and it was so so but I do plan to read book two before the month is out.
