I really enjoyed this book, almost loved but not quite :) Phedre is awesome in so many ways. I cried & laughed & at times held my breath to see what would happen on her journey. It's so hard to describe this book because so many things happen, it's like your are living it as you read it. I will give myself a break before I move on to Kushiel's Avatar.

I LOVED this book. I absolutely love Rose. She is sassy, strong, & passionate. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series, as soon as I can get it from my library. I also enjoy the different take on vampires & how that's even broken down.

This will be in my top favs for YA series, I am sure of it!

Blood Drive by Jeanne Stein is the 2nd bk in the Anna Strong series. I enjoyed reading the book but have yet to make a decision as to how I feel about Anna. I am trying to see that she is new to the world of the supernatural but sometimes her way of thinking drives me crazy. I will continue to read the series to see how she deals with her new world.

Well I am all caught in the series House of Night. I just finished Untamed by PC & Kristin Cast. The books in this series are getting better & better with each addition. This book had more magic and more action. I am so happy Zoey is coming into her own with no secrets, that was getting to me. I am also happy Neferet is outed as the bad guy, well at least to her friends. It also looks like the next book will promise more of the same magic & action I love!!

Can you tell I had 4 days off...in a row? I just finished The Becoming by Jeanne C. Stein & I really enjoyed it. Anna is turned against her will & has no time to adjust. All kinds of twist & turns keep getting thrown in her face. This series is sure to be an awesome read.

So I just finished the 3rd book of the House of Night series, CHOSEN. This is probably my favorite so far. I mentally remind myself before I read these books that they are YA & that helps me. I really enjoy this book because of all the magic mixed in with Vampires & Goddesses : )

Well I am never disappointed when I read an installment of the Morganville Vampires series. Lord of Misrule (bk 5) was an awesome action packed read. I wish these books were a little longer though. And as always, it ends in a cliffhanger. Luckily the next one, Carpe Corpus, comes out this June!

I wanted to love this book but I just couldn't. The story line was excellent but Sunshine's micro thinking got on my nerves and made it a slow read. When she wasn't micro thinking the book flew was very good. Please keep in my mind that while I read this book, it was during a PMS time...poor book : )

Well I have finally read the most talked about book since I become a member of shelfari. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and will most definitely read the rest of the series as well as see the movie.

But I didn't love it and I think that is because I heard to much about it, that there was no way for it to live up to my expectation..

(Don't be mad **booboo lip**)

Another wonderful book. There is no other way to describe it. Basic human love and a nasty elfin knight. If you liked The Sugar Queen & Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen then this book is a must read.

What can I say but WOW!!! This was the best one yet and the others were excellent. Cat & Bones make an awesome team. This book had so much action, romance, and some fine kick ass vampires, Bones being the best, of course : ) If you're reading this blog and have not read The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost, you are doing yourself a great disservice.

I just finished Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy (The Walker Papers series). The book was 3 1/2 stars. Joanne Walker is a normal woman who finds out she has some powers and has to stop the Wild Hunt from staying on Earth forever. This book has a little bit of everything in it. I kind of felt that the book had so much potential but just never got there. I gave it 3 1/2 stars because I think this might be the beginning of a great series. So I decided to read the next one, Winter Moon (which is just a short story) and see what happens.
Now I am on to my 1st in my reading list At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost.
