Darkfever: Fever Series Book 1
Well now, that was exciting! No romance (well, not yet anyway) but a great intro into what I’m sure will prove to be an edge of your seat, nail-biting joy ride. As I was describing this book to my husband, I explained it to him as part “National Treasure”, part “Stargate” (ok, this is pushing it a bit), and part “Buffy” (well the *feel* of it, anyway). The book is narrated by the “future version” of the main character, reflecting on her intro to this paranormal world.

Book Review – A Darker Dream by Amanda Ashley
WINNER UPDATE!! Jennifer Brian was selected by the randomizer to win this copy! Congratulations Jennifer!!
A Darker Dream was the last book I read in 2009. It entertained me well enough for a day (or two), although I felt the the angst in the last quarter of the book to be drawn out longer than necessary.
This book takes place in the early 1900’s where a 15 year old girl (Rhianna) is presented to a gathering of wealthy men to be sold. As the trembling girl is made to disrobe, Rayven takes pity on her, tells her to keep her clothes on, and purchases her on the spot.
What I am Reading Today – A Darker Dream by Amanda Ashley
Ohhh look what I found! A book by Amanda Ashley called “A Darker Dream”, that doesn’t appear to be part of a deeply involved series. It seems to be a historical romance with vampires…best of both worlds!
It goes something like this: Rhianna is sold by her father (due to extreme poverty) to a dark stranger (Rayven – a vampire). He ends up treating her like a queen (but he has that wonderful vampire angst that won’t dare to allow himself to love)… oooooh sounds like an easy one night stand of fun (reading that is ;))
Book Review – Holiday with a Vampire II by Merline Lovelace and Lori Devoti
Holiday with a Vampire II: A Christmas Kiss\The Vampire Who Stole Christmas (Silhouette Nocturne (Numbered))
Since I would be busy over the Christmas weekend and didn’t think I should involve myself too deeply in a new series, I found this book with two short stories. I figured they probably wouldn’t demand my undivided attention, so I gave these a go. Since I’m trying to save all of my must reads for J.Kaye’s 100+ Reading Challenge, I thought I’d stick with stand alones, and anthologies for the remainder of the year. I’ve been known to get too caught up in a series ignoring all else around me, and perhaps that’s not very nice during family time (hehe). However, since I really can’t go more than 24hrs without at least a little bit of reading (or I go stir-crazy), I had to do something.
