So I’m not sure how many of you enjoy reading graphic novels, but volume 2 of Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson is out and available (forgive me for being a couple of weekend behind).  I have volume 1 myself which I enjoyed a lot, but now is the time that I wish I had a physical bookstore nearby so that I could thumb through this new one. I’m curious as to…

Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood #2) – Slowly but surely catching up

I finished the first book of this series, Dark Lover, without really understanding what the fuss was all about with this series. I was told to keep reading so I did.  J.R. Ward’s Lover Eternal is definitely an improvement, though I’m still not in love with the series yet. Each book focuses on a specific character.  This installment centers on Rhage, the most beautiful yet cursed brother of them all…

A Perfect Blood (The Hollows Book #10) – A Near Perfect Blend of Old School and New School Hollows

Can this girl ever catch a break?  Even cutting herself off from the demon collective and having a new bodyguard can’t save our favorite itchy witch from problems.  Rachel tries to adjust to being a borderline civilian (as she still works to solve cases after all) but her secret is out and that has made her the perfect target for a pretty serious hate group, HAPA, led by a group of sadistic humans. …

Divergent – A good read if a little familiar…

A little help here, Dystopian fans.  While I haven’t read very many books in this genre aside from the 3 Hunger Games books and now this, I noticed quite a number of similarities that took away from the originality factor for me. In Dystopian novels should I: 1) Expect teens to be ripped away from their families and forced into some Darwinist-based event thanks to some sick tyrannical government power…

Lady of the Storm (The Elven Lords #2) – *Le Sigh* and the magic is gone

I came into this story already expecting that I would not to enjoy it as much as its predecessor, The Fire Lord’s Lover, and unfortunately it didn’t exceed my expectations. Kathryne Kennedy’s Lady of the Storm has all of the pieces, but I was honestly left wanting to simply go read The Fire Lord’s Lover all over again. We have a new hero and heroine in this tale, both elf/human…
