Why Cant They Clone Brad Pitt?

October 4th, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book like this…quick moving, action pack, lust-filled and absolutely 100% paranormal. I have to admit, I kind of missed it.

If you are a “Laurel K Hamilton” lover, then hold on tight cause this is just the series for you.

“Full Moon Rising” is the first book in the “Riley Jensen, Guardian” series, and boy did it deliver a promising and compelling start.

Riley is a Dhampir, half werewolf, half vampire and a whole lot of attitude. She is a glorified secretary for a section of security called the Directorate, but of course…not all is what is seems when it comes to those in charge and what they want.

The story follows Riley in her quest to find out who is trying to kill her, is it the mysterious, naked, vampire Quinn that shows up on her doorstep completely void of any and all of his memory? Or …maybe it’s Talon, the beefy, arrogant, werewolf that she mates with on full moons, or better yet…what if its her boss?

One thing is certain, if you like werewolves, you like quippy vampires, and you have a love for unbridled animalistic nature this book is for you.

The writing is by no means top notch, but the story is compelling enough for it not to really matter.

There are bizarre half human clones, a man with more drama than most 14 year old girls, a werewolf bar…clothing optional, several blackout scenes and one very intuitive brother.

All in all, not a bad read…what made it even better was that it was free.

Happy reading my fellow Kindle-ites, and remember…just because the champagne is more expensive, it doesn’t always mean its better!

A Little Frostbite Never Hurt Anyone!

September 3rd, 2009

And so the assumption paid off!

Every once and a while I make smart decisions. I know…they are few and far between, but luckily this time I listened to my gut and not my head!

If you remember correctly I was pretty confused by “Vampire Academy” (yes… I know… it was so horribly long ago, you may need to go back and do some research.) I didn’t think it was bad exactly just confusing and drawn out.

Well, as confused as I was by the 1st book, I was equally as impressed by the 2nd.

“Frostbite” was well written. Mead finally stuck to her guns, and train of thought, and wrote a fluid book from start to finish. (Thank God. I really wanted to like this series after all the hype I was hearing.)

In this chapter the characters were forced to look into their inner demons, face the music, see what was right in front of them. The process in which they did this was spectacular. There was a Strigoi raid, an impromptu Christmas Ski Trip, a mysterious but sexy new Royal, and a drunk Dhampir hot tub scene.

Hasty decisions was the name of the game for this book, and in true heroin form, Rose jump right in head first. I don’t think however that she had planned on the torture or untimely death of a pretty important character. I know I didn’t see it coming. As a matter of fact, it made me a little sad. (I think my eyes may have even watered)

Regardless, I enjoyed the book and I think it was a great way to get me, almost reluctantly, sucked into the series. I can’t wait to see the decisions this group will make when they are face with even more life changing events. And…a few more hot Dimitri scenes wouldn’t be bad either.

Happy reading my “little Dhampires” and remember…it is a wise decision to sharpen your swords at least once a month…just in case.
