By 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

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

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

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

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!
