One Grave at a Time: A Night Huntress Novel
Guys. Is it just me? I’m bored. I’ve been reading this book for three days straight, I adore Cat and Bones to death, and yet, I keep putting this one down. I’m only 60-something percent in. I’m bummed, because my favorite vampire crew have turned into boring ol’ super-sleuths. It’s a paranormal mystery, but that’s about it. Urban Fantasy (but it’s always been that). The story is solid, mind you. It’s got a bit of danger, a bad guy (or maybe two?), people to save, a problem to solve and an all-consuming, very important purpose.
What I am reading today
What I Am Reading Today – Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Retribution
So, here’s what I’ve been up to. I’ve been reading Retribution. I’m having a good time, and I’ll be done this evening, so I can write the review. But, I have a question.
What happened to Sherrilyn Kenyon’s signature steamy scenes? Where’d they go? Why are these characters not smoking up the pages of my book? I mean, I know it’s not YA, ’cause, they did have a “moment” with a little detail, but… nothing NOTHING like her past books in this series.
Currently Reading… Rock Me by Cherrie Lynn
Ohhhhh WOW!! I’m almost done this book (Rock Me), and I had to tear myself away at 2am to get some sleep. I didn’t want to. I wasn’t even tired. This tattoo’d bad-boy had my adrenaline racing! Oh he might not be a “rock star” but he’s right up their alley.
I’m loving this story. Even shed a few tears. And you know I gotta review it. It’s all pent up inside me, building pressure. So I’m gonna finish tonight, and then let you have it! In the meantime, just know I am thoroughly enjoying myself…
What I Am Reading Today – The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I had all intentions last night to write Cezar’s review (Alexandra Ivy’s Darkness Revealed), and of course, I still fully intend to (btw – quick review – it’s “good-ish”, but far from a favorite).
But you see…I was sidetracked. Actually, more like derailed. While I usually like to write my reviews before starting a new book, on occasion, something tempts me away from acting responsibly. And considering Cezar didn’t floor me, I was an easy “sway” 😉 Tee hee!!
Lily’s Want List
Hey everyone I am on my way now to Maryse’s! Guess what I am doing this week?! Not that! Get your brains out of the gutters ladies (that means you Sherry)…
Maryse has trusted me, again, to blog-sit for a few days. I am going to make her proud this time. No parties. No weres that pee on the rug. No purple swimming pools. I am going to be the BEST progeny EVER. Well, I’m going to try anyways.
I found out last week that Sandra Hill put out a new Viking book called The Reluctant Viking. Well, I remembered I LOVED this time travel romance about a viking when I was way too young to be reading such things. Well, guess what?! SAME AUTHOR. I loved that book! It was called “The Last Viking” and I am not ashamed to admit I still have it. With the Fabio cover and everything. Rock on Sandra Hill, I will be picking this one up.
We are almost there…yay! I love her house! She has the best couch and always stocks beef jerky. I love beef jerky. I am looking forward to a nice warm bottle of Trueblood and a Slim Jim. Oh yeah!
Another one I saw and I am craving is Born of Shadows (The League)by Sherrilyn Kenyon. This author is on my auto buy list. I was not as thrilled with the last League book like I was with the first, but I am still excited about it. This is sci-fi but still good. I mean it is Kenyon after all! And speaking of her….OMG I can NOT WAIT for Retribution (Dark-Hunter)(Dark Hunter #20). That book is about SUNDOWN! Do you remember him from Zarek’s book? He was the only one who was nice to him. I loved William Jessup Brady and I have not forgotten the old west gun slinger. I know the book does not come out until AUGUST – but I have to talk about it now. Why? Because I want it now. That’s why.
You know what else is neat about Maryse’s place. She lets me have roam of the whole place. Last time I was there I found all these pics of her as a kid, and man I loved them! She was so freaking cute! And that hair….it’s always been pretty but through the years…. well lets just say the Eighties were a dark time my friends. Dark days indeed. I didn’t tell you that.
Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 11)is out… it’s the next Sookie book by Charlaine Harris…..I have been complaining about this one. Ok, I know there is Eric in there, but I don’t know, I want some old school, kick your arse Eric….the Eric we got the last two books has been, well, watered down. I like the sneaky Eric. Bring back my Alpha Vamp please. Ok thanks.
