Book Review – Upon a Midnight Clear by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Upon The Midnight Clear (Dark-Hunter Novels)
Happy Halloween folks!! Thought I’d take a quick time-out to review the next in my list of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter/Dream-Hunter series. This one was called “Upon a Midnight Clear” and involves a female Oneroi (Dream-Hunter), who is sent to earth to aid a human male. It read like a short story, and I have a feeling it was meant to be one. It was somewhat disappointing, as it had a very “cookie-cutter” feel to it, and I did not bond in the least with any of the characters. In fact, I was more then irritated by the rich and gorgeous, yet “anguished” human superstar actor, Aidan O’Connor (who was in early retirement). read more

Book Review – Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Devil May Cry (Dark-Hunter, Book 11)
How to review this book…how…how…? Revelation after revelation from the very start, and I have to do this without letting anything slip. Either I was a little dim during the entire series, or Sherrilyn Kenyon is very clever, because I did not see any of it coming!

This is basically “Kat’s” book, and there is much about Kat that we did not know. Her background is quite important in the grand scheme of things. I was taken by surprise when it all came together, and the series became even more complete, in regards to how the different pantheon’s intermixed. Along with Kat & Sin’s tale, we are given a more in depth look into the lives of Artemis, Acheron, and Appollymi (LOTS of good stuff here!!) read more

More Tidbits from J.R. Ward’s Center Stage discussion…

By 3 Comments

The answer and question format at the Barnes and Noble Center Stage discussion area will continue until tomorrow. In the meantime, I  have gathered even more tidbits that I found particularly interesting (for the full effect, though, read the entire discussion on the B&N website. J.R. Ward gives off a great vibe when answering her fans! – LOVE her!)

AGAIN!! CAREFUL when proceeding below – *potential SPOILERS ahead* (but there won’t be many more, as apparently, the author has been warned that she is revealing too much) 😉 read more

Interesting tidbits from J.R. Wards Center Stage discussion:

By 2 Comments

While I catch up on the entire “Center Stage” discussion with J.R. Ward, I figured I’d post and comment on some of my favorite quick tidbits (it’s pretty much all interesting, and can be read in it’s entirety on the Barnes and Noble website here – lots of stuff about her different story lines, how she puts it to paper, her playlists and so much more!)

Sidenote to my mother (MOM – don’t read any of this until you are done the BDB series) – tee hee! read more
