AH | 2271 comments Favorite Supernatural Shelf - Chill Factor (Weather Warden, #3) by Rachel Caine - 4 stars - 4/19/12

Book 3 of Rachel Caine's Weather Wardens series finds Jo and David on a road trip to Vegas to find Kevin and Jonathan. The weather systems along the way give new meaning to road rage and Jo and David pull off at a Holiday Inn for shelter. Jo starts getting a deja vu feeling and realizes that she had stayed at this particular Holiday Inn 6 years earlier.

Meanwhile Kevin and Jonathan are preventing the Weather Wardens from entering Las Vegas. Clever Lewis finds a loophole and Jo is sent to Vegas. Jo has some hairy moments involving hanging out of a highrise hotel window courtesy of Jonathan. Jo is rescued by Quinn who takes her to meet his masters over at the Luxor.

I'm loving this series so far. Djinn, weather control, the aetheric - all so cool. I like Jo - she has a great sense of humor, the right amount of snarkiness, and she doesn't give up. Looking forward to the next book.

Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse, #11) by Charlaine Harris ★★★★✩ 4/16/12

Sookie Stackhouse is an old favorite of mine...but the last couple of books haven't had that "something" for me. I'm not even sure what was missing (could have just been MY mood), but this one hit it for me.

It's unimaginable that there would be no snags in Sookie's life for any length of time, and there were a couple of few big ones. Victor, newly appointed regent, was one, her fairy relatives were another...and another pesky Pelt woman who was gunning for Sookie and friends. Oh, and Sookie had to pull off a baby shower for Tara amidst the mayhem. She did it with her usual aplomb and was a delight to spend the day with.

I'm dying to read the next installment to find out what will happen with Eric (biting my tongue to keep from adding any spoilers....pre-order, but also scanning to try and get the e-book from the library earlier...GOTTA KNOW!)...and hoping Sam will find a new GF....

I'm glad to hear it. I scored the remaining books on BD for under $5 each (except for 1). I really love the series and I told my husband that we should go to Vegas soon....

Tania Rock (guilegirl) | 142 comments Review for my Fave Supe book,
Found (The Vampire Journals, #8) by Morgan Rice

Found (The Vampire Journals)
By: Morgan Rice

***** 5+ stars, completed April 18, 2012

Morgan has done it again! Another amazing book in the Vampire Journals series.

Don't want to give to much away with this review, which will be hard as I loved it so much! The final novel in the series contained our favorite characters, lots of action, beautiful scene description and just the right amount of emotion and romance.

This novel continues where Caitlin left off in the previous book and I don't know how she comes up with such interesting ideas for the characters, environment and their interactions. We find our heroes battling the evil forces that they have had to deal with throughout the series. Lives are lost, answers are found and Caitlin finally realizes her true destiny.

Morgan also includes the 2 first chapters of "Resurrected" the follow-up series to the Vampire Journals. After reading those, I absolutely can't wait for the new series. It seems even more intense than the "Journals" series.

All I can say is if you haven't read this series yet, grab it as fast as you can, you won't be disappointed.

This is by far my favorite series out there and Morgan continues to prove why she is my favorite author.

Thenia | 977 comments Team, sorry for being MIA for so long! RL has me cornered and doesn't look like it'll ease up anytime soon...

Shel, I hope you're feeling better!

We have a stamp pending and 2 books away from our Favorite supe one, for which I'm running very late, I'm sorry to add. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up this weekend..
