Sophia (Vampires in America #4) – The weakest of the bunch

Every series is likely to have a weak entry and this one is it for Vampires in America.  Raphael and Cyn are back in the spotlight, but they now they share it with a crop of new characters, including the title vampire character. This time we move northwest to Vancouver, British Columbia and Washington state.  Sophia herself has been summoned there by her Sire in the wake of three vampires’…

Rajmund (Vampires in America #3) – Another good installment

So as to not make us become too tired of Raphael and Cyn, D.B.

Raphael (Vampires in America #1) – A new PNR series I can really get into!

I am first and foremost an Urban Fantasy fan, so while I read PNR series on occasion they don’t really grip me.  Heck, I’m only through book 2 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series myself after starting that series months ago, though I do plan to read them all eventually.  That said, D.B. Reynolds has done a great job at keeping me engaged all throughout.  I have read these books…

Darkness Rising (Dark Angel #2) – Now we’re talkin’!

I read the first novel of Keri Arthur’s series, Darkness Unbound, finding that the pieces of a good Urban Fantasy series were there, but it didn’t really come together to carve out its own unique spot in this genre.  Well, Darkness Rising is definitely putting this series on the right track to do that and I’m glad that it didn’t take very long.  Many books suffer from FBS (first book…

Mercy Thompson Graphic Novel: Moon Called Vol. 2 – Eye candy extraordinaire

It took me a little while to get around to reading the second and final volume for the Moon Called graphic novel.  What with no bookstores nearby, I wasn’t totally sure if I wanted to pay for a comic that I couldn’t see.  The first volume was beautifully illustrated, but I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy the story.  For me the Mercy Thompson series definitely suffers from FBS…

The Hollows makes me bipolar, and tsk tsk Linda Larsson!!

So while I’d been whining a little bit a few days ago about The Hollows getting a 13th book, my biggest harp was that I thought it’d mean we had to wait yet another year for Rachel’s HEA.  But if we still get it in 12 and 13 is a bonus, then I’ll take it! Though Kim could change her mind, if she sticks to this then I’m totally on…

Guest Blogger – Author Caroline Hanson: Best vampires EVER…I think. Or probably. Certainly for the moment.

Today’s post is about my three favorite vampires. But it’s hard to narrow it down to just three. Even VampireNovelFan’s guest post on my blog could only highlight her favorite vampires in newer series.  Depending on the criteria, my choices might change. For example, if the category was best pedophelic vampire, obviously I would choose Edward. If it was hottest gay vampire it would probably be a toss up between…
