"The world is bigger and harder to understand than you think, Benny. It was before First Night and it still is now. You have to keep your mind as wide-open as your eyes, because almost nothing is what it seems."

Finished! Woohoo! Thanks, RL! Another fun series from Stacey. At times her writing felt YA-ish. But, then she'd turn up the heat, which she does so well. So, I'm thinking New Adult is a better classification. Loved the world she's created with this one; I look forward to returning to it again.

I'm moving slowly through this one, but only b/c of RL distractions. I'm enjoying the world and characters Stacey has created in this series.

A swoon-worthily ending

I liked this short Valentine's Day mystery in Stephanie Tyler's Eternal Wolf Clan series. My only complaint is that the eSpecial is listed as a prequel, so I was expecting a bit more info on the Dire wolves. It would've been nice to learn how they found each other or what happened to the others, etc. But, I am interested enough to continue on with the series.

So far, I've read Kagawa's short "Dawn of Eden", a prequel to her Blood of Eden series. (4 stars)

LOVED this book! Couldn't put it down. Highly recommended to anyone interested in old school vamps (no sparkling or primping) in a new school dystopian world. Julie's writing is superb, twist and turns abound, baddie is all kinds of twisted wicked, and you will find yourself on the edge of your seat until the last word. Incredibly anxious for book 3. (Full review to follow)

Raif said, "Gods, but your a stubborn woman." I couldn't agree more. One minute I'm in awe of Darian and her strength. The next I'm cursing her stupidity and stubbornness. No matter how infuriating she can be I love the world Bonilla has created and look forward to returning to it again.

Cheese and Crackers! I've just killed my second Kindle Paperwhite in four months by doing nothing other than reading on it. Aren't these things built for that?!? WTF!

I really cannot stand it when women (or men) assume they know exactly what's going on when they have no clue. They say, Ass-U-Me, and they'd be right.

Funny, how taking out the bad guy can make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Such a great book! I enjoyed it as much as ULTRAVIOLET and hate to think this is the last we'll see of these characters. (RTC)

A very touching, sexy and well-written story. As a Marine wife, I appreciate all of the hard work and thought Ann put into making this a painfully realistic read about the effects of PTSD. I look forward to reading more about Wyatt and Michelle in PENANCE (release date unknown). RTC

All that power, all that need, contained and controlled by her will. It made her feel like she held a tiger captive on a leash made of cobwebs.
