Kiss of Crimson: A Midnight Breed Novel (The Midnight Breed Series Book 2)
I’m really loving this series. It was a great choice following my Dark-Hunter marathon. I feel like I’m smack-dab in the middle of the Black Dagger Brotherhood world, again. While the stories, characters and situations are different, the “feel” of this series is similar (and very well written). From the Warriors, the villains, the vampire society and politics, and of course, the passionate encounters, if you are looking to read a series like BDB, this is it!

Book Review – Dream Chaser by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Dream Chaser (Dream-Hunter Novels)
This one finally takes us back to New Orleans where it all started (and where I feel at home with this series). While it does focus on another “Dream-Hunter”, it has the feel of the Dark-Hunter books, and we see many of the Dark-Hunter characters (including Ash), in this one.
Simone Dubois is a medical examiner with an added advantage (or disadvantage, depending on who you ask). She can see and communicate with ghosts, giving her the ability to aid the police department on murder cases. While most on the department are unaware of her abilities, she has specifically befriended one agent, who is no stranger to paranormal activity (considering he is also a Squire to the Dark-Hunters). She was orphaned at a young age (her mother and siblings were murdered in front of her, and her father took his own life shortly thereafter). Lonely, and constantly burdened with the fear of abandonment, she does have one best friend that has been there since she was a little girl (a sweet and quirky male ghost – Jesse – in perpetual state of teenage-hood). While he was there to comfort her as a child, he too, has felt consoled, since she is the only human who can see him. Together, they “grew up”, and have never left each other’s side.
Book Review – Born of Fire by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Born of Fire
My Sherrilyn Kenyon marathon continues! Thank goodness she has written so many exciting books, as I have been thoroughly captivated since late August with her work 🙂
The latest one (that I finished last night) is the second in her “League” series called Born of Fire (Syn’s book).
In book one, halfway through the story, Syn (Nykyrian’s best friend and associate) disappeared (his immaculate house left in shambles).
In book two, we see life through Syn’s eyes, including yet another tortured childhood (he was raised by an evil, notorious murderer), that cultivates a tough exterior and houses an insecure and saddened heart. Uninterested and disillusioned with love (especially Nykerian’s new love interest), he is determined to avoid any potential attachments.
Book Review – Sins of the Flesh by Caridad Piñeiro
Sins of the Flesh: Paranormal Romantic Suspense (Sin Hunters Book 1)
This recent release had me entertained. While it did not involve any characters from her other vampire series that I love, it did have an interesting paranormal twist.
World renowned cellist “Caterina Shaw” had gone blind, and was suffering terrible pain due to a dangerous tumor. While her death was imminent, she wanted to live out the rest of her days without the pain that has caused her to quit her music altogether. After agreeing to an experimental gene therapy, that could ease her pain and potentially give her sight back, she realized (after it is too late) that she has signed on for more then she bargained for.
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!!)
