Dragon Bound (A Novel of the Elder Races)
Suggested frequently as a must-read, I was excited to get started. Since it features a super dominant alpha male with a few jealousy and control issues, it was sure to strike a nerve, and I was certainly in the mood to be emotionally nervous 😉 While I enjoyed it enough to finish it swiftly, it didn’t overwhelm me. Perhaps I’ve “been there, done that” too many times with this genre? Could it be that I read this book with different eyes than those who loved it?

Book Review – Vampire Mine by Kerrelyn Sparks
Vampire Mine
As much as I have loved most of the books in this series, on occasion, I hit one that just didn’t do “it” for me. This is one of them. It was “okay”, but not great. No butterflies for me.
I was looking forward to Connor’s story. From one book to the next, Connor would openly scowl at all the blossoming love around him, that tormented his already tortured soul. I thought most of it had to do with Darcy. Remember Darcy, the dying human that was caught in their vampire war that he ended up “turning”? She seemed to hate him for it. She suffered the loss of her human life, and he suffered the guilt for taking it away from her completely. I secretly wondered if somehow… he might have loved her? But no. She already found her happily ever after, and while he was suffering, we find out in this one, that Darcy was not the main cause of his pain.
Book Review – Darkness Everlasting by Alexandra Ivy
Darkness Everlasting (Guardians of Eternity Book 3)
Wow, Styx… I must really ♥heart♥ you to delay starting J.R. Ward’s “Lover Unleashed” just so I can catch up with your review. Yup, it’s true. I either have the best discipline ever, or just love making myself suffer (although to be honest, reliving your book is not suffering at all 😉 ).
The latest Black Dagger Brotherhood book was released today, and after work, I raced home to read it. Just as I was about to start, the guilt hit, and I said – WHOA Maryse!! You can’t be rude to Styx. He entertained you and made you swoon for three days straight, and you’re about to dump him for for some new BDB hunk!
Virginia Kantra – Children of the Sea Series Reading Order
About the series:
In the time before time, when the domains of earth, sea, and sky were formed and fire was called into being, the elementals took shape, each with their element: the children of earth, the children of the sea, the children of air, and the children of fire. After earth had flowered and life crawled from the sea, humankind was born.
The children of fire rebelled against this new creation, declaring war on the children of the air and humankind. Forced to cohabit with the mortals, the other elementals withdrew–the fair folk to the hills and wild places of earth and the merfolk, selkie and finfolk, to the depths of the sea.
