After slowing down a bit to read Wicked as They Come for a second time, I’m ready for another book. Unfortunately, I’m indecisive once again, guys! So when in doubt, it’s up to you! I’m calling upon your wonderful tastes to decide what will be my next read. Per usual, the sooner I read them the sooner I can review. I do plan to read all of these books. I’m…
Hint of Frost (Araneae Nation #1) – A promising new series!
The new Araneae Nation series by Hailey Edwards kicks off with Lourdes, daughter of Araneidae clan leaders, running for her life from treacherous enemies that have poisoned her mother and father with plans to usurp power. Lourdes refuses to give up easily and she wants revenge, so she decides to ally with the venomous and cannibalistic Mimetidae clan through marrying their maven’s mercenary warrior son. Rhys the Cold is this…
Cover Reveal: The Kingmakers (Vampire Empire Trilogy #3)
Did I spaz like a teenybopper at a Justin Bieber concert when I saw this? Maybe just a smidgen. I SO can’t wait to get my paws on this! If there’s anything I regret most with this series, it’s that I didn’t wait for all books to be released when I started it. Anyway, the cover looks fantastic! Adele looks badass, too! This is probably my favorite cover with her….
Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, Book 1) – Lucky for us, the end is just the beginning!
I picked Susan Ee’s Angelfall at just the right time. Coming off the high of reading and totally adoring Wicked as They Come by Delilah Dawson, another debut author, I am fully convinced that rookies know how to play with the big boys. And that’s a wonderful thing. Susan Ee’s post-apocalyptic series takes place in Silicon Valley, California. In only six weeks the world has been brought to its knees…
Duncan (Vampires in America #5) – Excellent rebound from the prior novel
I just recently posted about how I’ve noticed my hometown, Washington, D.C., becoming a more prevalent setting for urban fantasy novels, and this book further supports that! A change for Duncan was far from a surprise. Serving Raphael for nearly two centuries, he was more than ready to become a Vampire Lord and manage his own territory. With Raphael and Cyn’s blessing, he’s sent from the west coast to the…

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. Reynolds shifts focus from the west coast to the east coast, taking us from Malibu, California to New York City. While Raphael makes his business rounds, meeting with the master of New York City, Rajmund Gregor, he brings Cyn along to meet her good friend, Professor Sarah Stratton, who came down from upstate New York to…
Review + Giveaway: Wicked as They Come (Blud #1) – My FAVORITE book of 2012 thus far!!
Yeah, those of you who follow me closely know I wouldn’t throw that out there lightly, but there it is! I’d heard good things about the series but I wasn’t in the hugest rush to read it. Man am I SO glad I got around to it! Delilah Dawson introduces us to a new world through the eyes of Letitia Everett (aka Tish), a nurse who spends most of her…
Jabril (Vampires in America #2) – Even better than the first
While the scenery has shifted a bit from Malibu, California to Houston, Texas, Cynthia Leighton brings some of her problems there with her. After her falling out with Raphael, to keep herself focused Cyn heads to the lone star state to help yet another Vampire Lord. Except this time her client is the purely evil and sadistic Jabril Karim, who needs Cyn’s P.I. skills to track down the most important…
