Skin Trade: An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Novel
Skin Trade: An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Novel

Review:I thought this was a good book, yes it could have been better, and it ended to suddenly. But it was still good. I like the pissing matches with law enforcement. I think alot of is done well. She is sleeping with the monsters, alot of the rumors are true about her. It's hard to respect a girl that is sleeping with so many men. So, she has to earn professional respect everywhere she goes. I think that would be true. Now this book doesn't have the sex scenes on every page like alot of the others, a... Read more

Vampire Hunter Novel - The Laughing Corpse - An Anita Blake
Vampire Hunter Novel - The Laughing Corpse - An Anita Blake

Review:This book keeps up the momentum from the first, while also letting us learn more about Anita. Who she is, what her values are, what that means, etc. We also see the dark side of her job as an animator. It really helps set a solid stage for future character development on her part. It's a good second chapter to this incredible series. Read more

Vampire Hunter Novel - Narcissus in Chains - An Anita Blake
Vampire Hunter Novel - Narcissus in Chains - An Anita Blake

Review:I am not shocked by Anita Blake's evolution because I started with Hamilton's Meredith Fairy Princess novels, where the heroine is a charming, hedonistic sex goddess, who doesn't really have much room for character development. So I never expected Hamilton to eventually give in to fear and superstition, ala Anne Rice (vide Christ the Lord). Those who expected Anita to give in to fear, judgment, and conventional small-mindedness must be really bothered, as can be seen from the negative reviews. F... Read more

Cerulean Sins (Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter
Cerulean Sins (Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter

Review:Laurell K. Hamilton's writing was still fairly good at this point in the series but you can see some of the early indications of the nose-dive the series took in later books. Listening to this book once again made me nostalgic for the first few books in the series, when Anita and the gang actually did more than just talk about things (instead of doing them) and having sex.

Hollowland (The Hollows) (Volume 1)
Hollowland (The Hollows) (Volume 1)

Review:I have read all of Amanda Hocking books available for my Kindle and I have been very impressed. My first one was the My Blood Approves Series and I have to say I liked it more than the popular Twilight Series. I would read one book and immediately had to have the next in the series.

Next, I read the Trylle Trilogy and was extremely impressed with this Trilogy. It was very well written and the characters were very original. It is possibly my favorite series by this author, but I really lik... Read more

Hollowmen (The Hollows Book 2)
Hollowmen (The Hollows Book 2)

Review:I enjoyed Hollowland a lot and was excited for the sequel. After reading Part 2, however, I realized that some things are just better off left to the readers' imagination. Everything about Hollowmen seems to be either a retread of the first story or, worse, does a disservice to the characters from Hollowland. (no, I won't be a total spoiler, but there are a few disappointing developments) The first book was a heroine's noble quest to find her brother. The second book is the quest to...not di... Read more

Red Knight Falling (Harmony Black Book 2)
Red Knight Falling (Harmony Black Book 2)

Review:Harmony Black is back. There’s little rest for the Vigilant Lock, a secret op created to deal with occult threats. As usually things go off the rails and a simple side-job turns into saving the world kind of job. Team members must recover the Red Knight satellite that seems to attract a hostile unknown entity. The thing is there’s more than one group of people interested in the satellite and its content.

Mayhem follows.

As usually action is steady, loud and violent. Maybe not 100% ... Read more

The Most Thrilling Chiller You'll Read This Year - Now A Major Film
The Most Thrilling Chiller You'll Read This Year - Now A Major Film

Review:Would probably not advise anyone else to do that. But it did add to the overall atmosphere of this book. Most of the novel was intriging, but I felt the last few chapters were terribly out of synch with the beginning? A twist, yes, everyone loves a twist, but it needs to be done very, very well and I don't feel this was done as well as it could have been. Read more

Spirit Legacy (The Gateway Trilogy Book 1)

Review:If you love ghost stories you must buy this book. It was not hard to give it five stars. I read this book today and finished in about four hours ago. I could not put it down. I can not wait to read the continuing story. Love this author and we will read all of her books! Read more

The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)
The Name of the Star (The Shades of London)

Review:I saw this book on another authors favorite books of 2011 blog and I'm really glad that I did. This book was a very fun read. The characters all server their purposes nicely and you really do get a sense that Rory is an American living outside of her element here. It's not our typical take on the Ripper, something that i feel add's to the book, rather than detracts from it. My major gripe here is that it's too easy to figure out what is so special about Rory well before the author reveals it... Read more
