So I’m reading this e-book that grabbed my attention–a woman must choose between three werewolf brothers. Hot stuff, right? No, not right. Not right at all. As a lover of all things paranormal, my “suspension of disbelief” threshold is rather large. Vampires, demons, and women who can live with one man for hundreds of years? Yeah, have to be flexible […]
Instead of writing like a good little girl, I did an amazing amount of reading this week. I swear to all that is holy, if that flu bug hits this house one more time, IT’S WAR!!!!!!! A few of my highlights were Eve Silver’s Demon’s Hunger, Nalini Singh’s Caressed By Ice, Rachel Vincent’s Pride, and Lara Adrian’s Midnight Awakening. It’s been a few months since I […]
I thoroughly blame my Aunt Jan for my obsession with classic movies. Ever since I can remember, we’d watch black and white movies on Saturday mornings at my grandmother’s house. She’s done much more for me in my twenty some odd years, but it’s this love that I return to whenever I feel down. At first it was a curiosity–who […]
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 […]
