Behind The Books – An Interview with Lynsay Sands + A Signed Book Giveaway!

By 48 Comments

You guys!!! Look who we have with us today. Eeeeeeeep! I’m so excited!!! *happy wiggle*

This author’s Argeneau series made one of my top ten lists and I am such a HUGE fan of Lynsay Sands and her super-steamy, super-funny vampires. Er… I mean “immortals”. 😉 The Argeneaus (and their crew) don’t really like to be called vampires. But you know… If they’re immortal like a vampire and feed like a vampire…. *looks around discreetly and whispers* vaaammmpiiiires… *giggle*

But I LOVE these guys and they feel like family to me. This series is one of my “firsts” in my initial reading frenzy and start of my blog (I just couldn’t get enough of ’em). And it’s true. They are not like our “usual” vampires. Okay a few of ’em have that ancient vampire-y tendency, but for the most part, they are modern, fun, and can be so very very human! Some of ’em even love human food and when you throw actual humans in the mix, you’ll be laughing like crazy!

Thank you so much, Lynsay for being here today. *hug* Congratulations on your upcoming book release (Immortal Ever After: An Argeneau Novel). It’ll be just a few days more, and Anders will get his moment!!

Book Review – The Reluctant Vampire by Lynsay Sands

The Reluctant Vampire: An Argeneau Novel
This was cute. Nice and entertaining enough, but it didn’t rock my world. No jolts, no making me angry. No need to cry, and really… not much swooning for me, either. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing right? Sometimes we just need a nice light read on a lazy Saturday afternoon.  And this one delivered a little something extra. A laugh out loud moment (with a certain “black and white kitty”) that had me giggling so hard, and for so long, that my husband felt the need to ask me if I was going to be okay. read more

Book Review – Hungry For You by Lynsay Sands

Hungry For You: An Argeneau Novel
OMG!! Have any of you read this yet? THIS was classic Lynsay Sands. Everything you’ve ever loved about the Argeneau’s (and crew) in past books – their wit, humor, loving side, passionate side and family side was in full force here. In fact I started this book last night (with a little trepidation considering my disappointment with her book, Born to Bite: An Argeneau Novel) and couldn’t help but read straight through until 3am. I’m exhausted (5.5 hours of sleep? I’m definitely an 8 hour girl), but as soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately started giggling again and thought to let you know I’ve lost my mind over a book! read more

Book Review – Born to Bite by Lynsay Sands

Born to Bite: An Argeneau Novel (Argeneau Vampires)
Well….*hrmph*. This’ll be a simple book review to write, because it was a simple story. It makes me sad cause I really love these guys. I think they were just tired and not up to entertaining… 🙁 I hung out all weekend with them anyway, hoping that the party would pick up. But it didn’t. And…I think I overstayed my welcome at Armand’s house. The Argeneau’s accommodated my needs for their company, but you could tell, they just wanted me to go home, while I sat there with my eyebrows raised, saying…”Come on!! Make me laugh!! Make me sigh…” Hehe 😉 read more

Book Review – The Renegade Hunter by Lynsay Sands

By 3 Comments

I was very pleased with this one. It was an excellent chapter in the Argeneau saga, and it was nice to get back to the familiar Rogue Hunters and Argeneau clan 🙂

Once a Rogue Hunter, now turned rogue, Nicholas Argeneau (Lucian’s nephew, and brother to Thomas Argeneau) has been on the run from his family and ex-colleagues for over 50 years (since the accidental death of his life mate). Now he himself is being hunted for murdering a human. While he has no real memory of such, (but was discovered in quite a predicament), he has been avoiding capture, and helping ease his guilty conscience by continuing to hunt rogue (evil vampires) on his own time. read more
