Outlander
Frequently recommended to me (especially by my sister and niece), I decided to give this series a try, when book #1 was given away as a free e-book. What a perfect opportunity! I’ll admit, the first quarter of the book didn’t floor me, but it didn’t take much longer than that, and I was swept away into the 1700’s and didn’t want to come back 😉 No vampires, no Weres, no mystical gods in this one, however the time travel mystery that takes Claire Randall away from her home and husband to another time (and another man’s arms *gasp*) was good enough for me!
Happy Thanksgiving, Friends!!
Turkey Day is here, and I’m cooking!! See you all tonight (so long as I haven’t passed out from a Tryptophan overdose, or perhaps a sugar-induced coma!) *hug*
Jennifer Ashley, Robin T Popp, Joy Nash – The Immortals Series Reading Order
This series appears to be written by three authors: Jennifer Ashley, Robin T Popp and Joy Nash.
As per the author’s website:
For centuries they have walked among us–vampires, shape-shifters, the Celtic Sidhe, demons, and other magical beings. Their battle to reign supreme is constant, but one force holds them in check, a race of powerful warriors known as the IMMORTALS.
Jennifer Ashley goes on to say:
It involves five Immortal warriors who long ago were called upon to protect people from the forces of death-magic (vampires, demons, and other baddies). It’s been a long time since they were Called to save the world, and they’ve become bad boys, wiling away their time doing whatever they want. But now one of their number has gone rogue and a group of witches called the Circle of Light have to find them.
Lily’s Book Review of Mind Games by Carolyn Crane
Quick note from Maryse: I’m still recovering from my strenuous work week (actually, I’m right back into strenuous pre-Thanksgiving work week#2). But since I don’t have to work this weekend, I will soon get back to my regular book routine. Jamie and Claire… *swoon* is right! Only a few pages left. They have quite the adventures, do they not? And their fights – INTENSE!! LOVE it!
Here is something that I can already say I’m thankful for —-> my best book-bud, Lily. Knowing how my creative mind is at a standstill, trying to adjust from work, to “relax” mode, she has provided me an excellent book review, for all of us to read. From her enthusiasm, (and her great “book recommendation” track record), I’d say this is one I’m going to love! Oooh and it’s going to be a trilogy! Yes! I love urban fantasy!
Lori Handeland – Nightcreature Series Reading Order
As per the author’s website:
Blue Moon (Nightcreature, Book 1)By the light of a blue moon, danger prowls…
Miniwa, Wisconsin is under siege, but not by the usual summer tourists. The area’s normally shy wolf population has begun stalking human prey, and their victims have been disappearing… or worse. Something is happening in the woods. Something brutal and primitive…
