@Sheila -- I know! I feel lucky this month. Then again, I've read plenty of other books outside the challenge this month that didn't quite fit the bill.
I've never read any books by J. Frost but you really like them. What are they about?
Sheila - they're Urban Fantasy Romance about a half-vampire named Cat. I've been waiting for the 5th book in ths series to come out for the last year and ahalf, and it comes out next week. (hence the re-reads I'm doing). Anyway, it's a good series if you like lots of action.
