Karen Chance – Dorina Basarab Series Reading Order

February 9, 2011 By Maryse Leave a Comment

About the series:

Karen Chance took us to a new corner of Cassie Palmer’s world and introduced us to the “lives” of the mysterious vampires who rule the night.

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Unlike most dhampirs, though, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity. Now Dory’s vampire father has come to her for help— again. Her Uncle Dracula (yes, the Dracula), cruelest among vampires, has escaped his prison. And her father wants Dory to work with gorgeous master vampire Louis-Cesare to put him back there. read more

Book Review – Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon

October 29, 2009 By Maryse 4 Comments

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!!) read more

Book Review – Dark Side of the Moon by Sherrilyn Kenyon

October 15, 2009 By Maryse 2 Comments

Dark Side of the Moon
This was a book I was anxious to read simply due to the dark, mysterious and unbelievably sexy model on the cover. He must have mesmerized me so much, because I accidentally purchased the book twice! In this case I DID judge a book by it’s cover, and it didn’t disappoint.

This book takes place in Seattle, and is about a male Were-Hunter/Leopard named Ravyn who is also a Dark-Hunter (the best of both worlds – although I’m sure he begs to differ). His family want nothing to do with him, specifically because they blame him for the death of their loved ones, and even more so, now that he is a Dark-Hunter (instead of just dead). read more

Book Review – The Renegade Hunter by Lynsay Sands

October 4, 2009 By Maryse 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

Cool Vampire News of the Day (09-08-09)

September 8, 2009 By Maryse 1 Comment

Here is a collection of vampire related news that I have gathered for you today 🙂

  • Get tickets to a screening of the Vampire Diaries in Ybor City (hey – that’s near me!!) by donating blood – Eeeek!! I’m feeling faint. It’s a great cause, too bad I’m scared of needles (blood is okay though…weird…). Read about it on TBO.com
  • The Examiner.com reports that Kate Beckinsale will NOT be returning to the fourth movie in the Underworld series…too bad because she’s GREAT in that role.
  • MTV.com has a great interview with “Hoyt” (the actor from the True Blood series) discussing the season finale, how he thinks the “Hoyt/Jessica” relationship is the most interesting romance plot of the season, and how popular “Alexander Skarsgård” has suddenly gotten (well hello!! of course! Did you see him in the episode where he loses his maker – and his clothes????)
  • Whoa! While I have tried to stay away from the “relationship” gossip, I had to comment on this! Did you hear that the Queen (Evan Rachel Wood) & the sheriff of Area 5 (Alexander Skarsgard) are perhaps dating, in real life? Now stop crying, we all knew this would happen. Go read about the gossip on shewired.com
  • New film called “Eulogy for a Vampire” set to play in New York on October 23rd. Read more on Shocktillyoudrop.com
  • L.J. Smith requests on her blog (as requoted on gossip.ie) that we give the new show “Vampire Diaries” a chance. I have no doubt myself that it will be popular, but I guess time will tell.
  • Examiner.com has two articles on Anna Paquin and her experiences with her love life, work etc… Here and here
  • Forks and Port Angeles Washington are getting ready for the upcoming week long “Twilight Fest” – also on Examiner.com
