Biting the Bullet by Jennifer Rardin I’m Lucille Robinson (aka Jaz Parks). This is a mission unlike anything my vampire boss, Vayl, and I have ever been on. It’s not our usual take them out and run; it’s an undercover mission that needs the whole gang: a psychic, an interpreter, and a weapons specialist. We’re joining a Special Ops team to nail the Wizard, a […]
I know I skipped over the two Rardin books and Grimspace, but I have a really good reason! I was shocked out of my sweat pants when I finished Living with the Dead and realized it had a Crab-fishing Boat ending. Let me explain… Kelley Armstrong was one of the first Urban Fantasy authors I read as an adult. Bitten made me fall in love […]
This is Day 2: The Killer Flu Bug. *grumble* I finished the last two Jennifer Rardin books and Ann Aguirre’s Grimspace this week. If my head quits pounding, I should be able to post reviews of them. All three books where highly enjoyable, so I want to do them justice with a clear head. One thing I did want to talk about, though, is […]
EDIT: Thank you Beef for correcting me! I do this all the time…the correct movie is CHILDREN of Men, not City of Men. : ) My husband and I are slightly bizarre. We come up with catch phrases that no one else understands and that don’t, really, make that much sense. Like Crab-fishing Boat. A few nights ago we were […]
Through the wonderful folks over at Shelfari, I had the opportunity to read Any Given Doomsday, the first book in Lori Handeland’s new series, The Phoenix Chronicles. It doesn’t come out until November, which means since I read it early, I have even longer (May 2009) for the second book. Grrr… Elizabeth Phoenix once used her unique skills as a psychic to […]
Countdown by Michelle Maddox: Kira Jordan wakes up in a pitch-black room handcuffed to a metal wall. She has 60 seconds to escape. Thus begins a vicious game where to lose is to die. The man she’s been partnered with–her only ally in this nightmare–is a convicted mass murderer. But if he’s so violent, why does he protect her? And stranger still, […]
I don’t know what got me started thinking about this, maybe the current state of my life (or lack thereof), but it’s been rolling through my head for a few days now and I’ve just had a chance to get it out. Why are women falling in love with their rapists/kidnappers in books these days? Actually, I don’t know if it’s […]
I can not say enough how much the title bugs me, but it’s so worth buying the book. Back cover says: Justine Bennett is cursing her life. She’s the Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth, she hasn’t left the house in ages, and it’s been over 200 years she’s had sex. Oh, and the Goblet has shape-shifted into an […]
I don’t know how, but I’ve done a ton of reading lately!! And they’ve been good books!! The first one was Storm Born by Richelle Mead. The back cover didn’t really grab me, so I won’t post it. I bought the book because of a conference I went to. The agent who spoke during one of the seminars talked about his client who had four or five […]
Okay, I’ve been bitching about it taking me so long to read books lately–weeks folks, not days, weeks–but last night the most magical thing happened–I finished a book in a day and a half! It would have been less if I didn’t have a birthday lunch and dinner to go to. What was this magical book? Personal Demons by Stacia Kane!! Before […]
